Custom Aluminium Sliding Doors in Amanzimtoti

A standard residential slider suits most sheltered Amanzimtoti properties — sensible panel widths, a 78mm frame depth, and hardware rated for everyday coastal exposure. A first-line beachfront property in Warner Beach or Doonside facing direct onshore wind needs a heavier-gauge frame, deeper tracks and reinforced rollers rated for higher wind-loading, because the standard spec will start dragging or jumping its track within a few years under that kind of sustained load. We assess which one your opening needs at the free site measure, not as an upsell after the fact.

Yes. SANS 613 is the South African standard covering a window or door's mechanical performance — wind deflection, structural strength, water resistance and air tightness — and every sliding door we fabricate is built to meet it. For safety glazing specifically, we fit toughened or laminated glass wherever a panel sits near floor level or in a high-traffic opening, in line with South African building regulations. We'll confirm the exact glazing spec required for your opening at the site measure.

We fabricate in-house. Every sliding door is CNC-cut, welded, glazed and powder-coated at our own Durban facility, then fitted by our own installation team — not subcontracted out at either stage. That matters on a coastal job specifically: the marine-grade hardware and Qualicoat finish we quote is the exact spec that leaves our factory and gets fitted, with no substitution to protect a reseller's margin.

Yes — retrofitting is one of the most common jobs we do across older Amanzimtoti and Warner Beach properties, particularly where an ageing frame has swollen, corroded, or the tracks and rollers have worn out from years of salt exposure. We measure the existing opening on site and in most cases fit the new frame without structural alteration, so the job is usually done in a day.

Standard mill-finish frames and mild-steel hardware pit and corrode fast this close to the Indian Ocean — it's usually the rollers and lock cylinders that fail first, well before the frame itself shows wear. We build exclusively on marine-grade coastal framing finished in Qualicoat-standard powder coating, with 316-grade stainless steel hardware throughout, specifically to resist that corrosion in a direct salt-spray environment.

After your free on-site measure, we issue an itemised quote within a few working days. Once approved, factory fabrication typically takes two to four weeks, and our own installers fit and align the panels on site, usually completing a standard residential opening in a single day.
