Choosing a front or entrance door is very important as it can transform the look, adding street appeal and increasing the value of your home. We have amazing options for front doors in Melbourne, and whether you are looking for a double front door or a double glass front door, we have you covered. Our double glazing front entrance doors are expertly crafted to stand the test of time and offer the best in terms of practicality and durability.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    1. What materials are best for entry doors in Australia?

    The most suitable material can depend on climate, location, and maintenance preferences. Aluminium is often used in coastal or low-maintenance settings. Timber offers a natural look but may require more upkeep. Composite doors can provide a timber-like appearance with reduced maintenance. Each material has different strengths depending on the application.

    2. What makes an entry door secure?

    Security depends on a combination of factors, including the locking system, frame strength, hinges, and any glazing near the handle. Multi-point locking systems engage the door at several positions around the frame, which may provide greater resistance compared to single-point locks.

    3. Do entry doors affect energy efficiency?

    Yes. The entry door forms part of the home’s building envelope. Doors with effective sealing and appropriate materials may help reduce draughts and limit heat transfer. Where glazing is included, double glazing can assist with thermal performance and noise reduction.

    4. Are glass entry doors safe?

    Glazed entry doors can be specified safely when appropriate materials are used. Toughened or laminated glass is typically used in areas where safety is important. For security, glazing near locks may be designed to reduce the risk of reach-through access.

    5. How long do entry doors last?

    A well-specified and properly installed entry door can last many years. The lifespan can vary depending on the material, environmental exposure, and level of maintenance. Hardware such as hinges and locks may require replacement or adjustment over time.

      We recently had double glazing windows installed, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. From our initial enquiry to the final installation, the team were professional, attentive, and incredibly efficient. They took the time to measure everything perfectly and ensured the installation went smoothly. The quality of the windows is fantastic, and we’ve already noticed a difference in both temperature and sound insulation in our home. I highly recommend APS to anyone looking for top-notch service and quality products.

      We were having severe problems with our double glazed back door installed by another company. The guarantee had run out and so had their willingness to repair it. We contacted APS with the view of having the door replaced. Andy inspected the offending door and quickly found the problem. After a short adjustment and a few cups of tea the door had been repaired. We were delighted with the outcome but more so that there is someone like Andy that is honest. We will certainly be using APS when we need more windows replaced. Thanks Andy.

      Just had all our main windows installed with double glazed windows, straight away noticed a decrease in noise, and temperature changes impacted by the weather outside. They are sure to save us a lot of money on heating and cooling in the future. Thank you to Matt and Hudson for doing such a great job of installing, they were extremely efficient and did a fantastic job. Extremely happy with the final product and that we got them installed.

      The Benefits of uPVC Front Doors

      Wondering what makes our double-glazed front doors a great choice for your home?

      Our double-entrance front doors offer the following benefits:

      • Excellent thermal insulation
      • Enhanced sound insulation
      • Low maintenance
      • High resistance to weather elements, such as rain, wind, and UV rays
      • Improved security
      • Wide range of design options
      • Potential energy cost savings and increased property value

      Entry Door Configurations

      Single entry doors are the standard — a single panel in a frame. They suit most residential applications and are available in a wide range of sizes and styles.

      Double entry doors consist of two panels opening from the centre. They create a wider opening and are often used where scale or access is important.

      Doors with sidelights include narrow glazed panels on one or both sides of the door. These can increase natural light and create a more open entry appearance.

      Doors with glazed panels or toplights incorporate glass within the door or above it, helping bring light into the entry space.

      Front Door Materials

      Material choice affects how a front door performs over time, including durability, maintenance, and insulation.

      Timber doors offer natural warmth and visual depth but may require ongoing maintenance depending on exposure.

      Aluminium doors are durable, resistant to weather, and low maintenance, particularly in coastal environments.

      Composite or engineered doors can provide the appearance of timber with improved stability and reduced maintenance requirements.

      Security Details

      Multi-point locking systems engage at multiple points around the frame rather than a single location. This distributes resistance across the full height of the door and may improve overall security compared to standard locking systems.

      The strength of the frame and hinges also plays a role. A high-quality door installed in a weak frame may not perform as intended. Glazing positioned close to the handle should also be considered carefully in terms of security.

      Thermal & Weather Performance

      The entry door forms part of the home’s overall building envelope. Effective sealing around the frame and threshold may help reduce draughts and limit heat transfer.

      Weatherproofing is also important. Seals, thresholds, and frame design can influence how well the door performs in rain, wind, and changing Australian conditions.

      What to Consider When Choosing an Entry Door

      The entry door is a long-term part of the home and should suit both practical and design requirements.

      Climate and exposure can affect how different materials perform over time.

      Security depends on the combination of the locking system, frame strength, and hardware — not just the door itself.

      Maintenance requirements may vary depending on the material and location of the door.

      The door should also align with the architectural style of the home to create a consistent overall appearance.

      Matching the Door to the Home

      The best-performing entry door is one that suits the architectural style of the home. Contemporary homes often suit clean lines and minimal detailing, while more traditional homes may suit panelled designs or timber finishes.

      Maintenance Note

      Hardware such as locks, hinges, and seals may require occasional inspection or maintenance over time to ensure the door continues to operate smoothly.
