Entry Doors
First offers an attractive range of residential entry door options.
Two elegant, aluminium clad entrance doors are available – the Classic Collection and the Axis Series. Classic doors feature glazed or solid panels bordered by mouldings, while the Axis range follows a tongue-and-groove format with vertically arrayed sections for a truly contemporary look.
The layering of lines in Axis doors imparts a clean aesthetic, and the patented, two-part construction offers a unique opportunity - a door with a colour to match the interior scheme and a different finish for the outside. A range of hard wearing, wood grain films can also be applied.
Timber entry doors can also be included in a First frame.
Axis Entry Doors
Axis doors are clad in aluminium and have a ‘tongue and groove’ appearance.
Their attractive layering of lines impart a clean aesthetic, and the patented, two-part construction offers a unique opportunity - a door with a colour to match the interior scheme and a different finish for the outside. A range of hard wearing, wood grain, powder coat, or anodised finishes are also available.
Because they’re made from aluminium, Axis Series doors are a low maintenance option. They don’t warp, shrink or swell, especially when exposed to wet weather. And their solid, foam-filled construction gives them high strength and jemmy resistance.
Classic entry doors
The Classic range of aluminium-clad entrance doors feature glazed and solid panels bordered by mouldings.
Classic doors are very stable and avoid the downside of timber doors, with no swelling and shrinking when exposed to damp weather.
They can be built with a sidelight that also opens to create a French door effect.
Classic doors have a polystyrene core and glazed panels with beads that cannot be removed from the outside.
A range of lever locks are available in powder coat or gold finish including the, contemporary-styled Miro handle, the popular Verona handle and the Italian Pasotti handle.
Hinged Doors
First hinged doors have clean cut, square-edge stiles and wide top and bottom rails for a strong visual effect. The rails can be further widened for a more traditional deep-rail appearance. First hinged doors can be used as back doors or for general utility purposes.
They can include sidelights, overlights, and adjacent windows. Open-in or open-out options are available.
Hidden compression blocks at the corners keep joints tight and ensure panel rigidity.
The suggested maximum size is 2400mm high by 900mm wide (3-point locking may be required for this size).
A cylindrical lockset is an economical option and can be placed in a mid-rail in the door.A range of lever locks to go in the door stile are also available.
French Doors
First French doors mirror the good looks of the hinged and bi-fold doors.
The simple, modern look of the square-edge stiles is further enhanced by the clean overlap where the doors meet. There is no additional screw-on weather bead down the join.
French doors are ideal anywhere where wide access to decks or grounds is needed. Where partial ventilation is required windows may need to be included in sidelights or overlights.
First French doors can include sidelights, overlights, and adjacent windows.
The substantial bottom rail can be doubled in width for the true French door look.
The suggested maximum size per door is 2400mm high by 900mm wide.
Bi-Fold Doors
Bi-folding doors open up the full potential of outside living by stacking out of the way to one or both sides.
First bi-folds follow the same striking design as the hinged and French doors to ensure a coordinated look.
The bi-fold set can include a free-swinging hinged door for easy access without opening up the bi-folds. A hold-back device can be attached to the free swinging panel to conveniently fix it back to the next bi-fold panel.
The suggested maximum size per door is 2200mm high by 900mm wide, though bigger doors may be possible in lower wind zones.
Sliding Doors
Sliders have earned a reputation as the most versatile and economical door type for access to deck and patios. They have the advantage of offering partial opening for ventilation without the danger of slamming shut.
First sliding doors offer strength and security with substantial aluminium profiles. They achieve smooth sliding through the use of high performance rollers.
A double slider option is available which has two sliding panels within a frame -- this allows the choice of which one to open.
It is a good idea to include opening sashes in sidelights for ventilation purposes.
The suggested maximum size for sliding panels is 1200mm wide by 2400mm high.
Lock options include surface-mounted types such as the Albany lock or the Miro handle and morticed lock.
Multi Slider Doors
Multi Sliders open to two-thirds of their width so they’re ideal where generous opening to the outside is needed.
Two formats are available -- a three-panel unit with two stacking panels or an ultra-wide six-panel unit with two panels stacking towards one jamb and two stacking towards the other.
It is common practice to include opening sashes in sidelights for ventilation purposes.
The suggested maximum size for sliding panels is 1200mm wide by 2400mm high.
Lock options include surface-mounted types such as the Albany lock, or the Miro handle and morticed lock.
Doors
The profiles used for the First range of doors don’t compromise on strength and size – they’re designed to create an imposing visual effect while ensuring reliable performance.
