Specification Notes from Current Manufacturer Supply Pathways

  • Door gallery planning works best when style, opening format and threshold priorities are agreed before final colour sign-off.
  • Single and dual-colour pathways are available across multiple systems, with final availability confirmed by material and profile choice.
  • Decorative, textured and privacy-glass routes can be integrated with sidelights and fanlights where the selected system allows.
  • Hardware pathways include modern and traditional handle families, matched letterplates/knockers and selected cylinder upgrade options.
  • Security-led routes can align with PAS 24 and Document Q briefs on compatible systems, with laminated-glazing pathways where required.
  • Final appearance and performance depend on slab design, glazing build-up, hardware package and installation quality.

Final outcomes depend on your selected door system, glazing route, hardware package and installation quality.

Security and Compliance Priorities

Security should be integrated into the visual shortlist, so preferred designs stay aligned with tested locking, glazing and compliance pathways.
