The project
Designed for its setting, use and architecture.
Metal profiles can frame generous areas of glass with slender sightlines, or form solid and decorative entrance doors. We make doors for villas, apartment lobbies, shops, offices and interior schemes.
Size, handing, locks, ironmongery, glazing and finish are coordinated with the client or architect. For an external door, thermal, acoustic, weather and security requirements are agreed at the outset.
What we resolve
The decisions that define the finished work.
Integrated ironmongery
Locks, hinges, glazing and access hardware are selected for the use and security level.
Considered finishes
Powder coating, patination, brushed or polished surfaces are chosen to suit the material and setting.
Made for one opening
Every door is drawn and fabricated for a specific building and set of dimensions.

Our involvement
From site survey to final handover.
Site information feeds into the fabrication drawings, then stays with the workshop and installation team.
Performance brief
We establish use, security and any thermal, acoustic or weather-performance requirements.
Technical design
Profiles, panels, hinges, thresholds and locking systems are resolved in detail.
Manufacture and finish
The frame and leaf are assembled accurately, finished and prepared for glazing.
Fitting
Our team installs, packs and adjusts the door to achieve clean movement and even clearances.
Frequently asked questions
Useful points before an initial assessment.
Can a steel door include large areas of glass?+
Yes. Steel makes visually slender frames possible and can accommodate glazing selected for light, privacy, security and external exposure.
What styles do you make?+
We work from quiet minimalist compositions to traditional or decorative doors, always in response to the architecture.
Do you install the doors you make?+
Yes. Design, manufacture and installation remain under our control through to the final adjustments.
