We had been asked to remake a rotten gate which was raked (so it could be opened on a slanted hillside driveway).
original gate, clearly worn out and seen better days.
sketch up, showing the dimensions.
Finished product, 2 gates ready for installation.
A lot of time and effort to make these beautiful gates, and everyone is very pleased with the result.
Nothing fancy, but a very common type of sliding door we make;
this one is 2100 high x 1800 wide (pretty standard sizing). Clear laminate glass and a flydoor. Assembled and tested in our steel jig to ensure squareness and smooth operation.
Patio / Sliding door
Probably the most common sliding door we make.
We have just finished this beautiful doorframe.
It has an arched head, awning (wind out) sashes in the side lites with colonial bars.
Double doors, rebated with colonial bars. Hardwood sill.

While roaming the factory i took a quick photo of these 2 doors having their recessed panels inserted and beaded. work in progress.
Chinese products are changing the building landscape here in Australia.
Some of the products are world class, and superb. the vast majority isnt.
A builder brought in some aluminium awning sashes he got from China. I am not sure they are even legal.
When you are building or renovating a house, make sure you are comparing apples with apples.

We made this window for a builder, who installed the window and here we are getting it glazed. It should look amazing when the place is finished. Client very happy.
This is the window schedule.
We manufactured and installed these windows and double pivot doors last week.
glazed with 6.38 grey laminate glass.
We make a fair few of these style aluminium windows. Commercial frame (101mm x 44.5mm) with an awning sash and lockable whitco chain winder. Fly screen on inside.
The awning has no hinges or stays, and instead has a hook on the head and a matching hook on the top of the sash. No moving on this turning point means nothing will wear out and break (as do hinges and non-friction stays after years of use)
Thought id take a photo before delivering it to a job site this morning.
