Entry Doors

Hinged doors are the most common type of door in Australia. This door is attached to the frame with two or more hinges. Most indoor doors are hinged.

Pivot doors open similarly to hinged doors but have a spindle that anchors into the top and bottom of the frame instead of side hinges.

French doors are double doors made primarily of glass. These doors usually contain many smaller panes, which makes them easier to repair. French doors are excellent for allowing light into the room.

Bifold doors are made up of multiple panels which can fold up like an accordion when opened. This allows the doors to be much wider, yet they can still be easily opened in one movement.

Sliding doors feature two panels, one of which slides behind the other when opened. Sliding doors usually have an aluminium frame and glass panels to let in plenty of natural light.

Entry doors have to face up to outside weather conditions like rain, wind, and UV damage which can all be very severe in Australia. Compared to inside doors, they need to be made of stronger, more resistant materials. High quality modern entry doors can be treated with a range of coatings which allow them to resist water and UV damage. High quality sliding and bifold doors resist denting and will maintain a smooth opening motion without sticking or jamming.

The purpose and position of your entry doors are crucial. For instance, if you are looking for a high security front door, a pivot steel door is going to have fewer weak points and will be made of a stronger material. In contrast, if you’re looking for an entry door to your bedroom balcony, a lightweight aluminium and glass entry door will allow more light into the room.
