Doors
Aluminium front doors
Hurricane entrance doors: steel-reinforced, quadruple glazed and finished like a piece of furniture. For homes where the front door is a statement.
Doors
A front door at the top of its class
Hurricane doors are built differently from anything else we offer. The door leaf is a 64mm steel sash, the outer frame is 65mm aluminium, and between them sit continuous seals and a low 20mm threshold. The door closes with the solidity of a strongroom and looks perfectly flush from edge to edge.
Designs are spare and contemporary: flat faces, fine grooves, inlaid trims and tall narrow glazing. Where there is glass, it is 63.5mm quadruple glazing. It is the door for a new build, a major renovation or any home where good enough is not quite the point.
Exceptional insulation
U-values of 0.77 W/m²K for solid designs and 0.88 W/m²K glazed.
RC2 and PAS 24
Tested to European RC2 burglar resistance and the UK's PAS 24 standard.
Made big
Single leaves up to 1208mm wide and 2476mm tall for generous entrances.
Smart access
Optional Tedee Pro smart cylinder: unlock by phone, keypad or key.
Why steel and aluminium
A wide, tall door has to stay flat through hot summers and cold winters. Steel gives the leaf its rigidity, and aluminium gives the frame precision and a flawless finish. Together they hold their shape where lesser doors bow and catch.
The finish is a Renolit Solar Shield foil, which reflects infrared heat to protect dark colours in direct sun. There are eighteen finishes, from deep matt black and anthracite to warm woodgrains.
- 64mm steel door sash in a 65mm aluminium outer frame

Questions
Good things to ask
Straight answers to the questions we hear most about this product.
How does an aluminium front door compare with a composite door?
Both are secure and well insulated. A composite door has a timber core and a moulded woodgrain skin, and suits traditional and modern homes alike. A Hurricane door is flush, minimal and larger in scale, with roughly twice the thermal performance. It also costs more. We are glad to show you both.
What does RC2 mean?
RC2 is a European burglar-resistance class. A door that achieves it has withstood a timed manual attack with tools such as screwdrivers, pliers and wedges. PAS 24 is the equivalent UK standard referenced by Building Regulations for new homes.
Can I still use a key with a smart lock?
Yes. The Tedee Pro cylinder can be operated by phone, keypad or fob, and a conventional key still works from outside.
