Aluminium Entrance & Front Doors

Aluminium front doors for homes: panel, glazed, pivot and French doors that combine security, insulation and design.

Choosing aluminium entrance & front doors

A front door has to look right, keep the weather out, insulate and secure the house, and keep doing all four through years of daily use. Aluminium does that with slimmer frames than timber or uPVC, and it can be powder coated to match the windows and doors on the rest of the house.

The range runs from Schüco and Cortizo front doors to Aluprof panel doors, where the leaf is faced with an insulated decorative panel: the MB-79N, the deeper MB-86N and the MB-104 Passive for low-energy houses. The MB-86N pivot door turns on an off-centre pivot for very large entrances, up to 2m wide and 3.4m high, and aluminium French doors open a room onto the garden.

Three things narrow the choice. Security: multi-point locking is standard, and on a new home the front door has to meet the Part Q security requirement, usually shown by testing to PAS 24, as the Schüco front doors are. Insulation: in England a replacement external door in an existing home needs a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better under Approved Document L, and the Aluprof MB-86N and MB-104 Passive are rated from 0.62 W/m²K for low-energy builds. Size and style: a flush slab, a glazed door with side panels, or a tall panel or pivot door for a statement entrance.

Every door is made to measure and installed across London and the South East, or supplied only if you have your own installer, and working doors are on show at our West Drayton showroom. This page covers doors for houses; for offices, shops, shopfronts and communal entrances, see our commercial aluminium entrance doors.

Frequently asked

Aluminium Entrance & Front Doors: your questions answered

Are aluminium entrance doors secure?

Yes. Our aluminium entrance doors use multi-point locking, and systems such as the Schüco front doors are tested to PAS 24, the standard used to show a door meets Part Q security requirements for new dwellings.

Can an entrance door match my windows and doors?

Yes — aluminium entrance doors can be powder-coated to match your bifold, sliding doors and windows in the same RAL finish for a coordinated look.

What styles of aluminium entrance door are available?

We offer panel, glazed and contemporary front and entrance doors from systems including Schüco, Cortizo and Aluprof, in a wide range of finishes.

What U-value does a replacement front door need?

In England, a new or replacement external door in an existing home needs a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better under Approved Document L. Insulated aluminium systems such as the Aluprof MB-86N and MB-104 Passive are rated from 0.62 W/m²K, which suits low-energy homes.

What is an aluminium panel door?

A panel door has a leaf faced with a single decorative panel filled with insulating material, rather than a frame around glass. Aluprof MB-79N, MB-86N and MB-104 Passive panel doors come in finishes from wood effects to raw concrete, up to 3m tall on the MB-86N and MB-104.

Do you also supply commercial entrance doors?

Yes, but they are a separate range. This page covers front doors for houses; doors for offices, shops, shopfronts and communal entrances are on our commercial aluminium doors page, built for heavy use with commercial-grade locking.
