Built for constant use

Doors that get used a hundred times a day

A commercial door is not a domestic one in a bigger size. It gets opened and closed constantly, it has to keep working in the cold and the wet, and when it fails your premises either stand open or stay shut. Both cost you money.

We make and fit aluminium doors for retail units, offices, warehouses and hospitality premises across London and the rest of the UK. Aluminium is what most commercial specifications land on, and for good reason — the frames are slim enough to keep the glass line generous, strong enough to take a closer and a panic bar without sagging, and they do not swell, rot or need repainting every few years. Where the opening calls for a powered leaf instead, our automatic doors cover that.

Every door is made to measure after a site survey. We do not fit from a catalogue of stock sizes, because commercial openings are rarely the size a catalogue expects.

What we make

The doors we make

Most jobs are one of these five. If yours is something else, send a photo and we will tell you honestly whether it is work we do.

Single entrance doors

The standard shop or office entrance. Fitted with a closer, and with a panic bar or access control where the use of the building calls for it.

Aluminium double doors

For wider openings, deliveries, or where fire escape width has to be met. Both leaves fully glazed or with a solid lower panel.

Glass entrance doors

Largely frameless commercial glass doors where you want the frontage to read as open. Toughened throughout, with the frame kept to a minimum.

Office and internal doors

Glazed aluminium doors between reception, meeting rooms and open-plan space. Often specified alongside glass partitions.

Powder-coated doors

Any door in any RAL colour, powder coated before it reaches site. Colour matched to your signage or your landlord's requirements. See the RAL colour chart.

Replacement door leaves

Where the frame is sound and only the door has failed, we replace the leaf rather than the whole opening. Cheaper, quicker, less disruption.

One team, start to finish

Commercial door installation, start to finish

The part most suppliers leave to somebody else. We survey it, we make it, we fit it — one team, one number to call if anything needs sorting afterwards.

1

Free site survey

A surveyor measures the opening properly, checks what the frame is fixed into and asks how the door will be used — footfall, deliveries, fire escape, access control. You get an itemised quote covering supply, fitting, removal of the old door and making good.

2

Drawings and specification

We confirm the system, the glazing, the hardware and the colour before anything is cut. If your landlord or a shopfitting contractor needs to sign off a drawing, we produce one.

3

Fabrication

Made to your opening in our own workshop, powder coated to the agreed colour, and glazed before it leaves. Nothing is cut on site that does not need to be.

4

Installation

Most single doors go in inside a day. We fit out of hours or in phases where a daytime install would shut you, then hand over with the closer set, the locks working and the site cleared.

Part of the frontage

Aluminium shop front doors

If the door is part of a wider frontage, it is usually cheaper to do both at once.

A door on its own is a straightforward job. But if the frame around it is tired, the glass is misted or the whole frontage is dated, replacing the door alone tends to make the rest look worse. We will say so at survey rather than after.

Where the whole frontage needs doing, see aluminium shopfronts or glass shopfronts — the door is included in those and the price per opening works out lower. Where you need the door to lock down behind a shutter, the roller shutter pages cover that side.

Fix, don't always replace

Repairs, replacements and door problems

Not every door needs replacing. Quite often it needs adjusting.

Aluminium doors drop on their hinges, closers lose their tension, and glass gets broken. Any of those can be dealt with without a new door. We repair commercial doors as well as fitting new ones, including replacing the glass in an existing aluminium frame, and there is a 24-hour emergency line if a door has been forced and the premises are open.

If the frame itself has gone — corroded fixings, a distorted outer frame, an opening that has moved — that is when replacement makes sense, and we will tell you which of the two you are looking at.

An honest comparison

Aluminium, uPVC or timber?

A fair comparison, including where aluminium is the wrong answer.

Aluminium is not always right. On a listed building or in a conservation area the planners will usually want timber, and we fit that too. For a low-traffic domestic side door, uPVC is often the sensible spend and we will say so.

The questions surveyors ask

Security, fire and the questions surveyors ask

How secure are they?

Aluminium commercial doors take multi-point locking, anti-lift hinges and laminated glass where the risk warrants it. For premises that have been targeted, or where insurers have set a requirement, a steel security door or a roller shutter over the top is the stronger answer and we would rather point you there than oversell an aluminium door.

Can an aluminium door be fire rated?

Fire-rated aluminium doorsets exist and are tested as a complete assembly — leaf, frame, glazing and hardware together. A rating cannot be added to a door after the fact. If your opening needs one, tell us at survey and we will specify a tested set rather than a standard door.

Access control and closers

Maglocks, keypads, push-to-exit and overhead closers can all be built in from the start. Retrofitting them later usually means drilling a door that was not designed for it.

Who we fit for

Where these doors go

Retail

Entrance doors that take constant footfall and still look right at the front of the shop.

Offices

Main entrances and glazed internal doors, often specified with access control.

Warehouse and industrial

Personnel doors alongside larger openings, built to take knocks.

Hospitality

Restaurant and bar entrances where the door is part of the look and gets heavy evening use.

Common questions

Are aluminium doors better than uPVC?
For commercial use, generally yes. Aluminium frames are slimmer, so you get more glass in the same opening, and they cope better with the weight of a closer and constant daily use. uPVC is cheaper and perfectly sensible on a low-traffic domestic door, but it can flex on wide openings and the colour range is limited.
How secure are aluminium commercial doors?
They take multi-point locking, anti-lift hinges and laminated glass where it is needed, which is enough for most retail and office premises. If your unit has been broken into before, or your insurer has set a specific requirement, a steel security door or a roller shutter over the door gives you more protection than any aluminium door will.
Can an aluminium door be fire rated?
Yes, but it has to be specified as a fire-rated doorset from the outset. The rating applies to the whole assembly — leaf, frame, glazing and hardware tested together — so it cannot be added to a door that is already fitted. Tell us at survey if your opening needs one.
Can aluminium doors be painted?
They are powder coated rather than painted, and it is done in the factory before the door reaches site. That gives a harder, more even finish than brush painting. An existing aluminium door can be resprayed on site in any RAL colour if the frame is structurally sound.
How long does a commercial door installation take?
A single entrance door is usually fitted inside a day. Manufacturing takes longer than fitting — expect around a week to ten working days from survey to installation. We can work out of hours or in phases so your premises keep trading while the work is done.
Can you replace just the glass in an aluminium door?
Yes. If the frame and the leaf are sound and only the glass has gone, replacing the pane is far cheaper and quicker than a new door. We carry out glass replacement as part of our repair service, including emergency call-outs where a door has been forced.
Do you fit doors on your own or use subcontractors?
Our own fitters, always. The team that surveys your job is the team that installs it, and the same number handles anything afterwards. Nothing is passed to a third party.
Which areas do you cover?
Our fitters are working across London every day, and we install throughout the UK. Tell us the postcode when you enquire and we will confirm straight away.
