Hinged Door Systems

Single & Double Leaf Door Systems

Aluminium hinged door systems for single and double leaf applications across commercial, institutional and architect-designed projects.

Hinged door systems are the most widely used door type across commercial and institutional construction — reliable, straightforward in operation and suited to a broad range of opening sizes and usage conditions. Single and double leaf configurations are available, with swing direction, hardware selection and glazing specification all configurable to suit project requirements. Hinged systems are commonly specified for building entries, fire egress points, office and amenity access, and architectural home entries where a traditional swinging door configuration is required. Hunter Windows supplies and installs hinged door systems from the AWS Elevate range, available across multiple series configurations to suit panel size, performance requirements and project scale.

Typical Applications

Hinged door systems are commonly specified across:

Commercial building entries and lobby access points
Fire egress and emergency exit doors
Office, amenity and internal access points
Education and public building entries
Aged care facility entries and internal access
Retail and hospitality entries
Architect-designed homes requiring a traditional entry door configuration
Heritage and period building refurbishments

Key Performance Considerations

System selection should account for:

Leaf size and weight — hinged door panels are constrained by hinge capacity and frame strength; maximum leaf dimensions vary by series and hardware selection
Swing direction and clearance — inward and outward swing options are available; swing clearance requirements should be confirmed against the building layout and egress requirements
Weather resistance — external hinged doors require appropriate weather sealing and threshold design; series selection should reflect exposure conditions and required water penetration resistance
Acoustic performance — glazing selection and frame depth affect acoustic outcomes; relevant to office, education and apartment applications where sound separation is required
Thermal performance — U-value and SHGC ratings vary across series; the ThermalHEART series provides thermally broken frames for projects with elevated NCC energy requirements
Hardware selection — hinge type, closer, lockset and handle selection should reflect usage frequency, security requirements and accessibility obligations
Accessibility compliance — door width, hardware height and opening force requirements should be confirmed against NCC accessibility provisions and relevant Australian Standards
Fire and egress compliance — doors used for fire egress must meet relevant BCA requirements; hardware and glazing selection should be confirmed against fire rating and egress obligations
BAL rating compliance — selected series carry BAL certification for bushfire-prone area applications

Energy Performance & Thermal Ratings

Hinged door systems are WERS rated where applicable, providing verified U-value and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) data for use in NCC energy compliance calculations and thermal modelling.

Key energy performance factors for specification:

U-value — measures the rate of heat transfer through the door assembly; lower values indicate better thermal insulation; particularly relevant for entry doors on thermally conditioned buildings
SHGC — measures solar heat gain through the glazing; relevant for glazed entry doors on north and west-facing facades where solar exposure is significant
Glazing selection — single and double glazing options are available across the range; low-e coatings and laminated glass can be specified to meet thermal, safety or acoustic requirements
ThermalHEART series — thermally broken frames improve overall system U-values for projects with elevated energy performance requirements

SHGC and U-value ranges for each series are shown in the Available Range section above. For detailed energy performance data and climate zone guidance, see our WERS & Energy Performance and Thermally Broken Frames resource pages.

Integration

Hinged door systems integrate across facade, sector and specification decisions:

Facade Solutions — commonly used as entry and egress components within commercial framing and shop front assemblies; can be combined with fixed sidelights and fanlights to create complete entry facade arrangements
Sectors — applicable across education, aged care, retail and architectural homes projects; fire egress and accessibility compliance requirements vary by sector and should be confirmed early
Specification — glass selection, colour finishes and hardware are all configurable; closer, lockset and handle options should be selected to suit usage frequency and accessibility requirements; refer to the Specification section for detail on available options

Frequently Asked Questions

Hinged door systems are available in single and double leaf configurations, with inward or outward swing options. Fixed sidelights and fanlights can be incorporated to suit larger opening widths or to increase glazed area around the door. Configuration options vary by series and should be confirmed against opening dimensions and structural conditions.

Yes, with appropriate series and hardware selection. High-traffic commercial applications require heavy-duty hinges, commercial-grade closers and locksets designed to withstand frequent operation. Series selection should reflect anticipated usage frequency and panel weight. Our team can advise on suitable hardware configurations for commercial applications.

NCC accessibility provisions specify minimum clear opening widths, maximum opening forces and hardware height requirements for doors in accessible buildings. Door width, swing direction and hardware selection should all be confirmed against the project’s accessibility obligations. Our team can advise on suitable configurations to support compliance.

Hinged doors are commonly used for fire egress, but hardware and glazing selection must meet relevant BCA fire and egress requirements. Panic hardware, fire-rated glazing and specific closer configurations may be required depending on the fire compartment and egress path designation. These requirements should be confirmed with the project’s building certifier.

Yes. Our team can advise on suitable series, glazing options and hardware configurations for architectural home entry applications, including options for oversized or feature entry doors. Upload drawings or contact us to discuss your project.

For hinged door system selection, accessibility or egress advice, or to submit drawings for review, our team is available to assist.
