Aluminum entrance door supplied by China manufacturer - modern residential building with thermal break frame and large glass panel

Doors Supplier in China | Types, Pricing & Technical Specifications

China produces over 35% of global door exports annually, with Guangdong province housing more than 3,000 door manufacturing facilities. Aluminum doors—particularly from Foshan’s industrial cluster—dominate the export market due to standardized production, competitive material sourcing, and established supply chains. This article covers security doors, aluminum doors, interior doors, and entrance doors across pricing, manufacturing, specifications, and procurement data.

2. Aluminum Door Manufacturing Process and Quality Standards

2.1 Raw Material Sourcing and Extrusion

Foshan-based aluminum door manufacturers source primary aluminum billets mainly from:

Extrusion lines typically run at 800–2,200 tons press capacity. Profile tolerances follow GB/T 5237 standard (±0.3mm for wall thickness, ±0.5mm for section dimensions). Post-extrusion aging at 185°C for 6 hours achieves T5 temper.

2.2 Surface Treatment and Coating Parameters

Treatment Type Coating Thickness Process Temperature Durability (Salt Spray) Cost Premium
Anodizing (AA15) 15μm 18–22°C bath 1,000 hours Base
Anodizing (AA25) 25μm 18–22°C bath 2,000 hours +$12/m²
Powder Coating 60–80μm 200°C curing 1,500 hours +$8/m²
PVDF Coating (70%) 30–35μm 240°C curing 3,000+ hours +$25/m²
Wood Grain Transfer Sublimation 180°C Transfer + clear coat 1,000 hours +$15/m²

2.3 Thermal Break Technology for Aluminum Doors

Thermally broken aluminum doors use polyamide (PA66) insulating strips with 25% glass fiber reinforcement. Strip widths commonly used:

Strip Width Frame U-Value Overall Door U-Value Application Climate
14.8mm 3.2 W/m²K 2.8 W/m²K Mild / Non-insulated
20mm 2.5 W/m²K 2.2 W/m²K Temperate
24mm 2.0 W/m²K 1.8 W/m²K Cold climate
34mm (multi-chamber) 1.5 W/m²K 1.3 W/m²K Passive House standard

4. Entrance Door Installation and Technical Requirements

4.1 Pre-Installation Site Preparation

Entrance door installation requires these measurements and preparations:

4.2 Step-by-Step Installation Sequence

  1. Frame positioning: Insert frame into rough opening. Use plastic packers at 300mm intervals. Check plumb (vertical) and level (horizontal) with laser. Adjust packers until square tolerance is within 1.5mm per meter.
  2. Anchoring: Pre-drill through frame anchor holes into substrate. Insert M8 stainless steel frame fixings (minimum embedment 60mm into concrete/brick). Torque to 15–18 N·m. Do not over-tighten — this can deform the aluminum frame.
  3. Hanging the leaf: Mount hinges to frame first, then attach door leaf. Adjust each hinge’s 3-axis screw (height ±3mm, lateral ±2mm, compression ±1.5mm) until the leaf has a uniform 3mm gap on all sides.
  4. Weather sealing: Apply continuous EPDM gasket around the frame-leaf interface. Install bottom sweep seal (adjustable drop-down type) on the door bottom. Check compression: seal should compress 25–30% when door closes.
  5. Foam insulation: Fill the 10–15mm gap between frame and rough opening with low-expansion PU foam. Apply in 3 stages (bottom third, middle third, top third) allowing 10 minutes between layers. After curing (2 hours), trim excess foam flush.
  6. Hardware installation: Mount lock body, cylinder, handle, and strike plate. Test locking mechanism — all bolts must fully extend and retract without friction. Adjust strike plate position if needed.
  7. Final sealing: Apply exterior-grade silicone sealant (neutral cure, UV-resistant) at the frame-to-wall junction on the exterior side. Tool the bead to a concave profile for water shedding.

4.3 Common Installation Defects and Corrections

Defect Cause Correction
Door binds at top corner Frame out of square >2mm Adjust hinge packer thickness; re-check diagonal measurement
Water ingress at threshold Sill not sealed to subfloor Remove sill, apply butyl tape to subfloor, reinstall with end caps sealed
Draft at lock side Compression seal gap >1mm Adjust strike plate inward by 1–2mm; replace seal if compressed set exceeds 30%
Lock bolt misaligned Strike plate position off File strike plate opening by max 2mm in direction of misalignment
Condensation on frame interior Thermal bridge at anchor points Replace steel fixings with nylon-sleeved anchors; inject PU foam around anchor holes

4.4 Entrance Door Maintenance Schedule

Interval Action Product
Monthly Clean tracks and threshold; check weatherstrip Mild detergent + water
Quarterly Lubricate hinges and lock cylinder PTFE dry lubricant (not WD-40)
6 months Inspect silicone seals for cracks; check door alignment Replace sealant if >2mm crack
Annually Clean drainage channels; torque-check all frame fixings Compressed air; torque wrench 15 N·m
3 years Replace EPDM gaskets if compression set exceeds 30% Factory-specified gasket profile
