Fully glazed aluminium single doors: five choices before ordering

A fully glazed aluminium single door can be configured in several ways. Before choosing a finish, work through the details that affect how the door fits and operates. This checklist follows the options on Swift Aluminium’s made-to-measure fully glazed aluminium single door so you can check your order against the actual product form.

1. Confirm the frame size

The form asks for the outside-frame width and height in millimetres and says to include the cill in the overall height. Check those figures against the prepared opening and the allowance your installer wants to leave around the frame. If you are replacing a door, do not assume the old leaf size is the size to order: confirm the frame measurements for the new unit.

2. Decide how the door will open

Choose open in or open out, then select a left- or right-hand hinge position. The product form describes the hinge side as viewed externally. Stand outside the entrance when checking this choice, and consider any nearby wall, step or path that could affect the door swing.

3. Check the threshold and cill

The configurator offers a standard threshold and an aluminium low-threshold option, along with several cill choices. Ask your installer which combination suits the finished floor level and the opening. The correct choice depends on the installation details, so confirm it before ordering rather than judging from a product image alone.

4. Choose the glazing and finish

The listed glazing choices include standard toughened glass and an upgraded laminated-glass option. Clear and patterned glass choices are also shown. External finishes include grey, black, white and a custom RAL option; the internal finish is selected separately. Check the live selection and the updated price for the exact combination you want.

5. Review hardware and extras

The form lets you choose a handle finish and cylinder option, with selectable trickle vents and door restrictors. Think about how the door will be used day to day, then review each selected option in the order summary. For questions about a particular configuration, contact Swift Aluminium before paying.
