A HUGE RANGE OF MODERN FRONT DOOR STYLES
We offer two extensive ranges of luxury, bespoke aluminium external doors, both of which offer Secured by Design accreditation and a multitude of tailored features, letting you seamlessly blend your new external aluminium doors with your current home décor.
Our premium door range, in particular, consists of a contemporary slab, door panel that sits flush, both inside and out, and is available in a large range of distinctive designs, including stainless steel and woodgrain finishes, as well as our full range of RAL, Elite, and Essence finishes.
Our XP77 doors, on the other hand, are more cost-effective, presented in a range of styles and RAL colours with a 44mm deep panel that is glazed into the door. Plus, if you’re budget is getting stretched we can also source the very cost effective Smarts signature doors for you.

Strong and secure
Our Premium Doors
Expertly manufactured in-house to bespoke sizes, we fabricate our premium doors by bonding the skins of our panels to both faces of the door sash. This creates a flush finish, both inside & out.
Once bonded, we then carefully store all our doors for a minimum of forty-eight hours to allow them to set and complete the manufacturing process. As a result, all of our aluminium external doors are extremely robust & secure, no matter which style characteristics you choose.
With a suite of unique panel designs, and a wide range of colours & finishes, handle options, & tailor-made sizes, all of our modern doors meet the following criteria:
- A completely bespoke manufacturing process, tailored to your needs
- Every panel is expertly manufactured in Germany
- All doors are put together in our world-class manufacturing facility
- Each door is a Secured by Design accredited product
- Every door comes with anti-snap/bump/drill/pick 3 stars, diamond-rated security cylinders as standard
- Each door can be keyed alike with the rest of your express doors as standard – meaning one key to open all of your express doors
- We have a full range of bespoke side lights and top lights available
- We’ll give you the option of solid doors or designs with glazed inserts – whatever you prefer
- All of our doors have overall U values as low as 1.2W/m2k

AN EXCEPTIONAL RANGE OF CHOICE
We’ve widened our range of contemporary front doors to give you even more flexibility as you look to create that ideal entrance for your dream home. Our entryways are both bold and distinctive, with warmer natural options that still retain the contemporary aesthetic afforded across our entire selection.
Plus with Smarts signature doors now available we can cater to modest budgets and offer custom options suitable for traditional homes and cottages.
Natural oak finishes
A natural oak finish in either malt or concrete adds warmth and depth to your entryway, and each of our external aluminium doors’ outer frames and adjacent windows can be powder coated with any RAL colour. This gives our flush door panels a solid wood appearance that creates a contemporary aesthetic visible on both sides.
Textured black indents & feature handles
Our textured black indents and feature handles are also now available as an option for stainless steel. Black is a top trend for interior fixtures and fittings, making for a wider choice across our premium range.
Fully concealed hinges
We've recently modified our external aluminium doors to offer fully concealed hinges as standard. This new feature adds to the contemporary look of the doors, with a clean slab door finish both inside and out.
See our full range across our showrooms
We go to great lengths to ensure that each of our showrooms display the full potential of our product range, which is why all of showrooms display our entire entrance door range throughout.
SAFETY & SECURITY
All of our doors are made to SBD standards for maximum safety and security. No matter the door you choose, you’ll have a secure locking system.
MODERN, TOUGH LOCKS
Security Lock Barrel Cylinders as standard
As part of our commitment to industry-leading quality, we offer high security, anti-snap, anti-drill, anti-pick, and anti-bump lock cylinders throughout our entire range of doors. These premium lock barrels are 3-star diamond-rated BSI cylinders, which exceeds the 2-star standard required for Secured by Design accreditation.
We even supply these cylinders in doors with half a barrel, so internally, the lock cylinder boasts all the same security benefits, meaning that if an intruder does get into your property, they won’t be able to break out through your doors.
Unlike other Secured by Design standard lock barrels, the keys for the barrels we supply can be cut by any locksmith without the need for a specific lock card to have further keys cut.
The lock barrels themselves are supplied by one of the world’s leading manufacturers of lock cylinders, which we think is the perfect complement to our industry-leading range of products.
SOLIDITY AS STANDARD
The manufacturing process includes injecting the door with a liquid component, which sets rock-hard, making it light, but as solid as concrete. It’s the perfect choice if you’re looking for something secure and reliable.
Our contemporary front doors also offer two core security features:
- Anti-snap/bump security cylinders in all door products
- A secure, five-point locking mechanism
DESIGNED FOR SAFETY
Naturally, your home’s entryway will get a lot of use – that’s why we’ve designed our modern front doors with the safety of you and your family in mind. Because all of our doors are bespoke, we’ll always install your bottom threshold as flush as possible, making sure there are no trip hazards when coming in or out of your home.
XP77 DOOR
With faster lead times & a lower price, our XP77 range offers fantastic-looking doors for those on a budget. Like our premium selection, each XP77 is manufactured to the same exacting standards, & offers many of the same benefits. But rather than the panel being bonded to the sash, we glaze it directly onto the door itself.
Coming in eight distinct panel designs, & available in any RAL colour, our XP77 range can really set the ideal entrance tone for your home:
- A completely bespoke manufacturing process, tailored to your needs
- Every door panel is expertly manufactured in Germany
- All doors are put together in our world-class manufacturing facility
- Each door is a Secured by Design accredited product
- Every door comes with anti-snap/bump/drill/pick 3 stars, diamond-rated security cylinders as standard
- Each door can be keyed alike with the rest of your express doors as standard – meaning one key to open all of your express doors
