A handle that sags or a lock that no longer catches is one of the most common problems with ageing doors. Whether you need a single aluminium door handle, a matching set of aluminium door handles or a better aluminium door lock, AluminiumDoor.co.za can help you find it. Send one free request and we pass it to an independent hardware supplier or fabricator near you, who quotes you directly. It suits DIYers, contractors and property managers, there is no obligation, and fitting can be arranged if you want the hardware installed.
Handle and lock types for aluminium doors
Aluminium doors use narrow stiles, so hardware is designed specifically for them. Options include:
- Lever handles: on a backplate or roses, for hinged and French doors
- Pull handles: long bar handles for shopfronts, pivot and front doors
- Sliding door locks: hook locks and flush pulls for sliding and stacking doors
- Multipoint locks: lock the door at several points along the stile for better security and sealing
- Cylinder locks: euro profile cylinders that can be rekeyed or replaced quickly
Choosing an aluminium door handle with lock
An aluminium door handle with lock combines the lever and the locking mechanism in one set, which keeps the stile neat. Check the backset (distance from the edge of the door to the centre of the cylinder), the spindle size and the screw centres on your existing hardware before ordering, because these vary between system ranges. A supplier can usually match them from a clear photo and measurements.
A better lock for sliding door security
A worn lock for sliding door panels is a common weak spot. Many older sliders use a single latch that can be lifted out of its keep. Upgrading to a hook lock, adding a keyed cylinder or fitting an anti-lift block makes the door much harder to force. Pair it with burglar bars or a trellis security gate where the risk is high.
Replacement locks and what affects the cost
A replacement lock is often far cheaper than a new door. Cost depends on the type of lock, the number of locking points, the cylinder grade, the finish of the handle and whether the stile needs extra machining for the new hardware. Fitting is quoted separately if you need it.
Comparing aluminium door handles and locks 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
- Photos of the existing handle, lock and the door edge
- Backset, spindle size and screw centres if you can measure them
- Door type: hinged, sliding, stacking, pivot or shopfront
- Finish wanted, number of sets and whether fitting is needed
