Build Outs

Sliding Doors

Install a build out as you don't have any tracks to take the security doors.

We use a colour coded frame & tracks to match your doors. This is done in a two-stage process:

Stage 1 - Install the framework, then once in place we take accurate measures for the doors. (Allow up to three weeks)

Stage 2 - Returns to install the doors. (Allow approx. 2 weeks)

Hinged Doors

If you have a door with a large handle or a pivot door we may need to fit a build out to allow a security door to be fitted. This involves us fixing a colour coded frame in front of your existing door frame. Then, refer above for two-stage process.
