Locks for Aluminium Doors

It’s no surprise that aluminium doors are becoming so popular when you consider their advantages over traditional wooden or plastic doors.

Aluminium has long been prized by manufacturers for a range of reasons. Doors can be made wider and taller than uPVC while thinner frames maximize the amount of glass that can be utilised. Its weatherability and structural stability offers superior protection against heat and cold, as well as intrusion and damage. And its acoustic and thermal insulation makes aluminium a natural choice where noise or heat are an issue. Plus, the metal can be anodised or powder coated to give a range of different appearances and textures from individual colours to even wood effect.

Which lock should you choose for an aluminium door?

Typically, aluminium doors require a narrower latch type, so it’s important to select and fit a lock that has been specifically designed for a narrow door section.
