Custom Door Sizes

Custom dimensions
Our standard door dimensions are 2040mm x 1020mm x 40mm with 140mm rails and styles. However, as everything we manufacture is custom built we are able to accomodate any custom sizes or requirements you may need. When sending through your design let us know the sizes you require.

Glass Options

  • Clear
  • Light grey
  • Dark grey

Safety/Screen Mesh

(from left to right)
  • Perforated aluminium
  • Perforated stainless steel
  • Woven stainless steel
We offer two very high-quality perforated sheet screen mesh options that have small round holes less than 2mm in diameter, available in either marine-grade aluminum or 304-grade stainless steel. We also offer a high-quality woven stainless steel mesh.

Aluminium Screen Frames

All three of our screen meshes are available in aluminum screen frames. These are used in designs with large surface areas to enhance security, as a sheet this size loses strength and stability (e.g., Artesian, Simpson, Gibson, Mackenzie). These can also be included on louvre sidelights. Below is an example of what the aluminium screen frames looks like.

Sidelights

  • Fixed glass sidelights
  • Louvre sidelights (screen optional)
  • Joinery sidelights
We offer a wide range of custom sidelights, designed to complement your chosen door style and enhance the entrance of your home.
Fixed Glass Sidelights (examples below)
What it is - A fixed glass sidelight is a single panel of glass, glazed inside the timber door jambs. A fixed glass sidelight is great option if you have a large openining.
Benefits include: Allows for extra light into your entryway. Customisable, you can order one large sidelite, or you could choose to have one on either side of the frame. All six of our glass types are available. Fixed glass sidelites are the most cost-effective sidelight option if you are looking to increase your home's aesthetic appeal.
Louvre Sidelights (examples below)
What it is - A louvre sidelight includes louvre galleries fixed in place on both sides of the door jamb with glass louvres inserted horizontally. The galleries can be powder-coated in any color to match existing aluminum joinery around your home. An aluminum-framed security screen is also an extra option. We offer, perforated aluminium and stainless steel as well as a woven stainless steel.  (images in the screen mesh section). Having a framed screen does change the visual appeal (as shown below).
Benefits include: Allowing light and maximum airflow through, screen can provide extra security. It must also be noted that you cannot order either white or grey translucent louvre blades

Joinery Sidelights (examples below)

What it is - A joinery sidelite is built using the same joinery techniques as all of our doors. The timber is machined and glued together to create the sidelite. This method allows for customisation to suit designs with horizontal rails. The sidelite is then fixed into place inside both door jambs.
Benefits inclue: Aesthetically pleasing, can be made custom to match a large majority of door designs.

Three Point Lock

The Three Point Lock upgrade offers a significantly improved level of strength and security compared with standard mortice deadlocks. The multi-point lock is very easy to operate and works simultaneously combining two extra hook bolts that are situated 700mm above and below the Deadlock. 

Even though these locks offer a higher level of security we find that they are also superior for outward opening doors that are extremely exposed to direct sunlight and high weather conditions. By having the three points of contact, and the fact that the hook bolts are spread 1.4m apart with tapered strike plates, these locks help keep the doors straight and lessens bow and twisting.They can even be retrofitted to doors that have already twisted by up to 8mm due to extreme weather and sun exposure.

Although we do not recommend staining or painting doors in dark colours, it’s a trend that isn’t going away, The Three Point Lock will allow your doors to lock easier and help maintain alignment when exposed to the direct sunlight. The paint finish however is a separate issue and something that must be discussed with your painter or builder. 

We strongly recommend this upgrade in lock if your doors areexposed to more than 2 hours of direct sunlight daily and are outward opening or painted / stained in Dark colours. This includes doors that are exposed to several hours of partial direct sunlight (for example the bottom half of the door only for 3 to 4 hours) as they are far more likely to want to twist and bow due to the unnatural temperature variations. For warranty to be considered against these types of scenarios please discuss the sun exposure your doors will receive with your builder or designer.

Door Delivery

  • Furniture Removilists
  • General freight

Furniture Removilists

This type of removal ensures that your doors are handled with care, including being individually wrapped in packing blankets for safe delivery. This service does not require us to make a box because once the doors are loaded onto the truck, they will not be moved or unloaded anywhere but at your site. We provide corner boxes that are fixed into your door frame with batten screws, this is done to further protect your door during travel. (shown to the right).

  • Furniture Removalists: Experts in moving this type of freight, furniture removalists make unloading much easier for our customers, as there are two delivery drivers to handle the unloading at your site. This eliminates the need for multiple people to be present for your delivery.
  • Regular Updates: You will be regularly kept informed via phone calls about the whereabouts of your delivery and the approximate delivery day and time.
  • Frequencey: This service runs less frequently when compared to general freight. Removalists sometimes work over the weekends, so there is a possibility that delivery may be required on a Saturday or Sunday. This freight method depends on the furniture removalists' schedule, so it may not always be an option for your area if you require delivery at a certain time.

General Freight

We manufacture boxes for shipping your doors and frames safely, using recycled packing sheets—typically craftwood or chipboard offcuts. (image below)

  • Unloading Requirements: This option requires enough personnel at the site to unload the box, which can be quite heavy, especially if more than one door is purchased.
  • Availability: You need to be available at the delivery location for a half to a full day to accommodate the delivery and unloading process.
  • Tracking: The carrier will send tracking information via email, notifying you of the expected delivery day and an approximate delivery time.

For more flexibility, we can arrange for pickup from your local freight depot, where forklift loading onto a trailer is possible. This eliminates the need to be present at the delivery location and can be more convenient if you cannot arrange sufficient help for unloading.This is a regular service that we use daily, ensuring timely delivery and reliable service for your door and frame shipments.
