Aluminium Door Hinges, Pivots & Flush Bolts

A door that drops, rubs on the floor or won't stay closed often just needs new hardware. Through AluminiumDoor.co.za you can request a quote for aluminium door hinges, pivot sets, flush bolts, door closers and floor springs from an independent supplier or fabricator in your area. It is free and there is no obligation: the supplier quotes you directly and you deal with them. DIYers, maintenance teams, builders and fabricators all use the service, and if you would like the hardware installed and the door rehung, fitting can be arranged.

Types of hinges for aluminium doors

Choosing hinges for aluminium doors depends on the door's weight, width and use:

Butt hinges: standard hinges for lighter hinged and French doors
Heavy-duty hinges: adjustable hinges for doors with laminated or toughened glass
Pivot door hinges: top and bottom pivots for large pivot doors
Door closers: overhead closers that pull the door shut under control
Floor springs: concealed closers under shopfront and frameless doors

Flush bolts for aluminium doors

Double and French doors need one leaf held fixed while the other opens. Flush bolts for aluminium doors sit neatly in the edge of the fixed leaf and shoot into the head and floor. Lever-action and surface bolts are also available. Check the stile width and the depth of the floor socket when ordering, especially if there is a raised sill.

Pivot door hinges and heavy doors

Large pivot doors put serious load on their hardware. Pivot door hinges are rated by door weight and width, so give the supplier the panel size and glass type. At the coast and on exposed sites, choose stainless or marine-grade pivots that resist corrosion, and consider a hydraulic pivot or floor spring so wind cannot slam the door.

What affects the cost

Hinge cost depends on the load rating, adjustability, finish and number of hinges per leaf. Pivots, floor springs and closers vary with door weight and whether they are concealed. Any machining of the stile and the labour to rehang the door are quoted separately.

Comparing aluminium door hinges 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

Door type, leaf size and glass type
Photos of the existing hinges and the door edge
Finish wanted and whether the site is coastal
Quantity needed and whether fitting is required

Frequently asked questions

Why is my aluminium door dropping?

Usually the hinges are worn or the screws have pulled loose from the frame. Heavy glass makes this worse. Adjustable heavy-duty hinges can lift the door back into line.

Can I replace hinges with a different type?

Sometimes, but the new hinge must suit the stile width and the existing screw positions, or the frame may need machining. A supplier can advise from photos.

What is the difference between a door closer and a floor spring?

A door closer is mounted on the frame or door head and is visible. A floor spring is set into the floor under the door, which suits shopfronts and frameless glass doors.

Can the new hinges be fitted for me?

Yes. Ask for fitting in your request and it can be arranged, including rehanging and adjusting the door so it closes and locks properly.
