Match the supply approach to your project
Residential developments
Group repeated openings in a door schedule. Align handing, hardware and finishes before agreeing batches and delivery priorities.
Custom homes and villas
Start with the entrance elevation, opening space and preferred appearance. Resolve movement and privacy before detailing the door.
Importers and distributors
Discuss your market, product range, sample needs and service expectations. Define configurations and commercial terms for repeat supply.
Discuss DistributionChoose an entry door configuration
Start with operation, appearance and how the entrance will be used. Detailed dimensions, hardware and glazing follow the selected system.
Side-hinged entry doors
A familiar swing layout for residential entrances. Coordinate the leaf, hinge side and surrounding space to achieve the required passage.

Concealed-hinge entry doors
A side-hinged option for a cleaner hardware appearance. Select the finish and hardware with the opening and service requirements in mind.

Glass pivot entry doors
A transparent entrance with a different turning axis. Consider sightlines, glazing requirements, pivot position and the usable passage.
View W-Z3 Pivot DoorsConcealed hinges are a side-hinged solution. Pivot doors use a different axis. A wider leaf does not automatically mean a wider clear passage.
Compare quotes for a complete door set
Compare the same configuration and delivery basis before comparing price. Size, infill, hardware, finish, quantity and destination define the quotation scope.
Separate included components, selected upgrades and work supplied by others.
| Supply item | What the quotation should state |
|---|---|
| Leaf, frame and infill | Identify the door system, finished frame size and glass or panel specification. |
| Threshold and seals | State the threshold, sealing components and building-interface requirements. |
| Hardware | List hinges or pivot fittings, lock and handles. Separate optional access controls. |
| Assembly state | Specify what arrives assembled and what the installer completes on site. |
| Delivery basis | Record packaging, the agreed trade term and named destination or collection point. |
Configure the opening, finish and hardware
Measure the right dimensionsDistinguish the site opening, finished frame, leaf and clear passage. Use approved drawings for production dimensions.
Draw the opening directionMark indoors and outdoors, the hinge or pivot position and opening arc. Account for adjacent walls and furniture.
Coordinate the thresholdBalance passage needs with weather exposure, finished floor levels and the installation drainage detail.
Turn a design preference into a specification
Choose panel or glass for privacy and daylight, then coordinate handles, locking and surface finish. Use an agreed physical sample for final finish approval.
For optional smart access, include power, unlocking and service requirements in the hardware discussion.

Product documents need to match the door you are ordering and the project where it will be installed. Use the complete assembly, rather than a glass-only value or a company credential, as the comparison basis.
Whole door assembly
Match the frame, leaf, dimensions, infill and hardware to the selected door system.
Comparable performance
Check units, test method and configuration when reviewing thermal, air, water or security data.
Project requirements
Provide the location and your designer’s performance or document targets for review.
