Customised designs are the only style of steel door we make. We are a small business and focus on tailored solutions for individual needs.
We primarily partner with industry professionals like architects, interior designers and builders who would provide in the first instance complete specifications to quote from.
WHAT IF I AM NOT AN INDUSTRY PROFESSIONAL?
If you are not an industry professional and the scope of your project is too small to warrant using an architect or designer, it is entirely attainable for you to do your own homework to gather enough of this similar information. Additionally, send a reference image you found on the net: “a picture paints a thousand words”.
CRITICAL INFORMATION
Regardless of your level of experience, we require all clients to fully complete our enquiry form plus ensure all of the following information is provided in drawings:
Due to a large amount of sales requests, we have a strict policy of not pricing projects until all information is completed.

If you are budget-conscious, we recommend using steel joinery for the featured areas of your home and consider other options for the utilitarian areas.
Our first step in our quoting process is to use your provided measurements using our request form.
Once you have confirmed the job and paid the deposit:
Due to the incredibly high demand of this product, it is highly recommended you contact us as soon as you receive your finalised architectural plans.
We do not mass produce nor pre-fabricate our joinery. We manufacture everything from scratch so lead times may take 2+ months from point of accepting the quote, however this may be negotiated upon and subject to product selections, scale, our workload and your own deadline.
Best practice is confirming your job by paying a deposit during the first stage of construction which will lock in your job.

Steel joinery is to most tastes and often not to most budgets. There are three main reasons why our products fetch a high price, especially when drawing comparisons to other metal joinery products.
Secondary factors to consider with custom steel joinery
We do not make standard products, therefore, we do not issue standard prices. If you like to receive a price for your bespoke project, please fully complete this enquiry form.
Why is your price different to other quotes?
We find that pricing against others is often a case of not comparing apples with apples. Please consider if other quotes detail:
We offer competitive pricing for steel doors and windows and will soon be offering three different framing options within our steel joinery range to suit every clients’ needs.
If you are not sure 100% sure about the details in your quotes, please email them to us for comparison.
We stagger all our progress payments as follows:
The abovementioned payments may be subject to further payment increments, (i.e., weekly progress, variations, etc.) if we deem the job large.
Information is key. The more information we have, the more definitive we are in our pricing for our customised products.
We will provide a quote with a firm price once all information is at hand.
We will provide an estimate if we have most of the information yet still lacks minor details. Estimates may present as a price range as we are making a budgetary allowance for variations which still need to be confirmed at a later point.
If you still do not have enough information for us to do estimate, we will postpone pricing until enough information is gathered.
Customised steel doors and windows are to most tastes but not necessarily to all budgets.
We are here to have an open conversation about finding solutions for each clients’ requirements. Fitting into budget ranges is a critical part of the equation. We offer a range of product options and if we do not know how much has been allowed (or not allowed) in budgets, we will not know how to find the right solution.
