Product Details
As a purpose-built aluminum entry door for low-rise buildings, this system combines 6063-T5 frames, polyamide thermal breaks, and customizable glass options to meet energy and security demands. It suits multi-family lobbies, retail storefronts, and office entrances with daily traffic and weather exposure.
What differentiates it is project-specific engineering. Instead of a stock product, each door is built to your CAD drawings with verified hardware and 38 quality inspections. This single-source approach covers pivot, hinged, sliding, and folding doors, giving architects and contractors one supplier for all low-rise entrance needs.
Product Features
Thermal Break Efficiency: Polyamide strips separate interior and exterior profiles, reducing heat transfer. U-factors as low as 0.27 help lower energy costs in conditioned buildings.
Multi-Point Locking Security: Options like four-side six-point locks and heavy-duty hinges create a tight seal and resist forced entry, ideal for multi-family and commercial door sets.
Custom Glass Configurations: Tempered, laminated, Low-E, or argon-filled insulating glass units can be selected to meet acoustic, solar control, or impact resistance needs.
Project-Ready Customization: System includes pivot, hinge, sliding, and folding door styles, each manufactured to exact project dimensions after drawing review.
Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Powder coating, anodizing, or PVDF treatments protect aluminum in coastal, humid, or urban environments, maintaining appearance with minimal upkeep.
Factory Quality Control: 168 production steps and 38 inspection points ensure dimensional accuracy and hardware alignment, reducing on-site installation issues and callbacks.
Customizable Styles
Glass Type: Tempered, laminated, Low-E, tinted, or double/triple insulating glass; argon-filled for improved thermal performance. Spec matched after review.
Frame Finish: Powder coating, anodized, wood grain transfer, or PVDF in RAL/custom colors. Suitable for coastal and high-exposure sites.
Dimensions & Size: Custom width and height based on project openings. Single and double door configurations available with transoms or side lites.
Opening Style: Hinge, pivot, automatic sliding, or folding door mechanisms. Depends on traffic flow, accessibility, and aesthetic goals.
Project Branding: OEM/ODM logo, packaging, and hardware brand selection supported. Private label and bulk packaging options can be discussed.
Hardware Accessories
Multi-Point Lock: Shoot bolts and hook locks engage the frame at multiple points, increasing security. Available with key, thumb turn, or panic bar options.
Hidden Hinges: Concealed hinges maintain a clean look and reduce tampering. Load-rated for heavy glass panels; 3D adjustment ensures smooth operation.
Long Pull Handles: Stainless steel or aluminum pull handles in various lengths and finishes. Can be paired with access control and fingerprint scanners.
EPDM Sealing System: Continuous rubber seals around frame and sash provide air and water tightness. Resistant to compression set and temperature extremes.
Smart Lock Integration: Fingerprint, card, or Bluetooth-enabled locks can be incorporated into the door system for modern access management in apartments and offices.
Basic Parameters
Performance Item | Available Information | Buyer Notes |
|---|---|---|
Thermal Insulation | U-factor 0.27–0.32 W/m²K (with thermal break and insulating glass) | Confirm U-factor with exact glass build-up, spacer, and frame combination for your climate zone. |
Wind Pressure Resistance | Up to Grade 9 / 5 kPa (stated for Z3 and 78 series; varies by model) | Request wind load calculations for large openings and local building code compliance. |
