Kitchen Aluminium Doors for Entrances and Cabinets

A kitchen aluminium door takes more daily traffic than almost any other door in the house: groceries, dogs, washing and deliveries all come through it. Aluminium copes well with heat, steam and wiping down, and it won't swell or rot. The term also covers slim aluminium doors for kitchen cabinets, popular in modern kitchen designs.

Kitchen entrance and back doors

Kitchen entrance aluminium doors usually lead to a back yard, scullery or side passage. Popular styles include:

• Half-glass doors: safety glass above a solid lower panel that hides scuffs
• Stable doors: split top and bottom halves, so you can let air in and keep pets or children out
• Full-glass hinged or sliding doors: where the kitchen opens onto a patio or braai area
• Doors with a fixed or opening side window: extra light over a sink or counter

Most back doors sit behind a burglar bar gate or trellis, so plan the door swing and lock so the two work together.

Aluminium doors for kitchen cabinets

For cabinetry, thin aluminium profiles frame a glass or board insert. Modern kitchen aluminium doors often use clear, frosted, reeded or tinted glass on display units, or a melamine or lacquered panel in the frame on base cabinets. Integrated profile handles do away with knobs, and black, champagne or brushed finishes match tapware and lighting. These doors are made by kitchen fabricators to the cabinet sizes, and they work with standard concealed cabinet hinges and lift-up stays.

Practical choices for a busy kitchen

Choose a powder coating colour that hides fingerprints, and ask about a marine-grade finish if you live near the sea. A low or flush threshold suits wheeling bins outside, while a good drip and brush seal keeps out rain and dust on a back door exposed to the weather. Glass near a stove or sink must be safety glass under SANS 10400-N. A self-closing hinge or a cat or dog flap can also be built in on request.

Kitchen aluminium doors prices: what drives the cost

We never publish kitchen aluminium doors prices. For an entrance door the quote depends on the size, glass area, style (stable doors need extra hardware), the lock, the finish and any building work. For cabinet doors it depends on the number of doors, the profile, the insert material, the handles and the hinges. Giving sizes and a photo of the space makes the first quote far more accurate.

Comparing quotes for aluminium kitchen doors

The lowest price is not always the best value. When your quote arrives, check:

• Measure and system: whether the price is based on a site measure, and which aluminium profile range is specified for the size of the opening.
• Glass and finish: safety glass type and thickness, and powder coating or anodising, with a marine-grade finish near the sea.
• Installation: removal of old frames, fixing, levelling, sealing and making good, and who handles plaster and paint.
• Guarantee and timing: what the guarantee covers, the lead time for manufacture and the date for fitting.

What to include in your request

• Whether you need an entrance door, cabinet doors or both
• Opening or cabinet sizes, and how many doors
• Preferred style, glass type and colour
• Whether a burglar gate, pet flap or new frame is needed
