How we specify
The right product route is chosen per project
Exact specification (U-value, sizes, weights, security class, finish) is confirmed per project at quote, selected to suit the trade brief.
It means you lead with the outcome: light, security, clean sightlines, usable openings, buildable details and a specification that suits the drawings.

Common questions
How secure are aluminium entrance doors?
Aluminium entrance doors run multi-point locking on a rigid frame that resists forced entry, with a PAS 24 route where the project calls for it. Add anti-snap cylinders, reinforced hardware and laminated glazing where the door is overlooked. See our security page, or start a quote for the full locking spec.
Are aluminium entrance doors warm enough for a UK home?
Yes. A polyamide thermal break and insulated panels cut heat loss. From the system's U-value table: Ud 1.3 W/m²K with Ug 1.0 glass, 1.1 with Ug 0.6 glass, in the worst of the four tabulated door types. Confirmed at quote for your opening. More detail sits on our energy efficiency page, or start a quote.
How big can an aluminium entrance door be, including pivot doors?
Standard entrance leaves run up to 1.2 m by 2.4 m at up to 90 kg, which covers most front doors. Larger statement doors can hang on a pivot, swinging on a floor-mounted spindle rather than side hinges, and are sized and quoted per project. Large statement doors need the right hardware rating. Confirm achievable leaf size and the pivot or hinge spec at quote.
Can I add glazing or side panels to an aluminium entrance door?
Yes. Aluminium entrance doors take vision glazing, top lights and side-lights to bring daylight into the hallway, with toughened or laminated safety glass and obscure options for privacy. Slim flush frames keep sightlines clean across wide openings. Browse the range at aluminium entrance doors or send sizes for a quote.
Can aluminium entrance doors replace a timber or uPVC front door?
Yes. Aluminium entrance doors are a direct upgrade from old timber or uPVC, fitting the existing opening with a stronger, slimmer frame that resists warping and needs little upkeep. Flush faces, side-lights and stainless hardware suit most reveals. Survey the opening and threshold first. Homeowners can reach a vetted fitter via find an installer.
