How to pick the right aluminium door hardware

Picking the right aluminium hardware involves several technical checks.

1. Sash weight: The panel's weight determines hinge and roller choice. Larger sashes need 3D hinges or heavy-load rollers.

2. Material and finish: Anodized or powder-coated finishes resist oxidation in humid or coastal environments.

3. Profile compatibility: Hardware must match the installed aluminium system (55/65/75...). Mismatched profiles cause looseness and leaks.

4. Multi-point locking: Multi-point mechanisms significantly improve security and weather-sealing on swing doors and casement windows.

Getting hardware right upfront saves maintenance cost and extends building life.
