The frame decides how well a door seals, locks and lasts, so getting the right aluminium door frame matters as much as choosing the panel. Through AluminiumDoor.co.za you can request a quote for complete frames, sub-frames or loose aluminium door profiles from an independent supplier or fabricator in your area. Builders, contractors and DIYers all use the service, and it is free with no obligation. Send your sizes and finish, and the supplier quotes you directly. If you need the frame built in or replaced, fitting can be arranged too.
Frames, profiles and sub-frames
A frame can be supplied in a few ways, depending on your project:
- Complete frames: cut, mitred or crimped and assembled, ready to install
- Loose profiles: full lengths of extrusion for fabricators to cut and assemble
- Sub-frames: a receiver frame fixed into the opening first, so the door frame can be fitted after plastering
- Sills and thresholds: low or raised options to suit the floor level and exposure
Standard SA sizes vs made-to-measure
Standard South African door frame sizes suit openings built to common brick dimensions, and they are usually quicker to supply. Older homes, renovations and openings that have shifted often need a made-to-measure frame instead. Measure the opening width and height at several points and give the smallest reading. A supplier can also come and measure if the opening is out of square.
Finishes and profile weights
Frames come anodised or powder-coated in a range of colours, with marine-grade coatings recommended near the sea. Profile weight matters too: lighter sections suit standard internal and sheltered doors, while heavier sections handle wider panels, wind loading at the coast and the weight of laminated or toughened safety glass required in doors under SANS 10400-N. Thermally improved profiles can help with SANS 10400-XA energy targets.
What drives an aluminium door frame price
When comparing an aluminium door frame price, look at the profile weight, the finish, the size, whether it is standard or custom, and whether it comes assembled or as loose lengths. Hardware preparation, sub-frames, delivery and installation add to the quote. We don't publish prices; the supplier quotes for your exact specification.
Comparing aluminium door frames prices
Prices for aluminium door parts change with profile, brand, finish and quantity. When quotes arrive, check:
- Fit: that the part matches your door's system and profile; a photo or a sample of the old part helps.
- Finish and material: colour match, and stainless or marine-grade components for coastal sites.
- Fitting and delivery: whether fitting, adjustment or delivery is included in the price.
- Trade terms: bulk pricing for builders and fabricators, and account options.
What to include in your request
- Opening width and height, measured at several points
- Whether you need a full frame, sub-frame or loose lengths
- Colour, finish and whether the property is coastal
- Door type the frame is for, and whether fitting is needed
