1.We have existing wood back door with window panel. 2. We have a 2 door with small glass panels. 3. Bedroom window to convert to sliding door. And window panel on 1 of 2 sides. Want to replace all with aluminium or upvc. It also needs to have a mesh door to keep flies, mozzies, cockroaches oout. I would like a golden bronzy colour. Or white. And it must have a guarentee and not be easy to break into. I believe this is a weakness of aluminium doors and windows. And all 3 must have a trellidoor or equivalent in same colour with a rust free guarentee.
Advice & quotation for full installation. I don’t know how many AC's I will need. Have quite a large house so need professional advice.

It’s a carport type roof over a patio. Roof dimension is 6.5 m x 4.3 m, On the one 6.5m side it can be mounted on the wall and on the other side there are 3 brick/ concrete pillars of xmm . The frame to support the roof must be steel please. The covering must IBR sheeting, either galvanised or chromadek. Please quote on both types.
Image attached: 1. Front door with padlock and glass panel above. I would like to replace the timber door and possibly the doorframe (if possible). And I would prefer the clear glass panel to be replaced with a solid panel to match the finish of the timber, inside and outside. Ideally all to be painted a medium sheen-black on the exterior and a neutral colour paint finish inside. There would need to be provision for a Yale handlock and a knocker/with knob on the exterior. Please suggest a design with raise and fielded panels - I am also open to the idea of a stable door.
Well the wooden door has Ribbed like glass and on the side wooden frame where the locks meet. That side glass is broken and needs replacing. It's a plain glass as I think it was broken before. But I would like the matching Ribbed glass as the main door for the side broken door. Do you have that in stock and are you in Somerset west? I'm in CBD near Lion square. I prefer communicating over whatsapp.
The existing wooden door which leads onto the balcony from the apartment blocks stairwell was broken off by the wind. We need the frame repaired if damaged and the door which is a hollow door replaced with a solid wooden door but the cheapest one available. The new solid door has to look similar to the other balcony doors in the block, please see the attachment for the design. The existing hinges, lock and door handle can be used on the new door. If the new door can be varnished in the same colour as the old one then please go ahead but if not then no problem, we will varnish it.
