Practical product advice

Choose Your Product

Choose the right system for your project
Every project is different. Some homes need a secure, low-maintenance entrance door. Some need a large sliding system that can handle Irish weather. Others need a minimal-frame sliding door where glass, light and design are the priority. Passage focuses on three specialist products and helps you choose the one that suits your home, your location and how the space will actually be used.

The Passage Approach

Built for real homes, not just brochure photos

We see the same issues again and again: the wrong product used in the wrong place, too much focus on appearance, and not enough thought given to performance, exposure, drainage, maintenance or how the product will be used every day. At Passage, we take a more practical approach.

Before recommending a system, we look at:

• Site exposure
• Orientation
• Opening size
• Drainage and threshold requirements
• How the space will be used
• Maintenance expectations
• Design priorities
• Budget and long-term value

If a Lift & Slide system is the better option for your location, we will tell you. If an ultra-slim sliding system is not suitable for your site conditions, we will tell you that too.

Our Three Systems

Bespoke Aluminium Front Doors

Your front door is used every day, seen every day and expected to perform every day. Passage front doors are designed for long-term use, strong security, clean design and a high-quality first impression.

Best For

Entrances, renovations, self-builds, modern homes, large front door screens and clients who want a premium, secure aluminium entrance door.

Key Benefits

  • Designed and made in Ireland
  • Strong aluminium construction
  • High security as standard
  • Strong thermal performance
  • Low-maintenance finish
  • Wide range of finishes
  • Coordinated hardware options
  • Smart access options available
  • Suitable for new builds
  • Suitable for renovations

Lift & Slide Doors

Passage Lift & Slide doors are designed for large openings where performance, smooth operation and weather resistance matter. They are a strong choice for Irish homes, especially where the opening is exposed or the panels are large.

Best For

Large extensions, exposed sites, coastal homes, garden openings, new builds and projects where weather performance is as important as appearance.

Key Benefits

  • Smooth operation for large glass panels
  • Strong weather sealing
  • Suitable for exposed and coastal sites
  • Ideal for large openings and extensions
  • Low-maintenance finish
  • Robust aluminium frame system
  • Double or triple glazing options depending on project requirements
  • Matt, textured and RAL colour options
  • Coordinated handle and hardware finishes
  • Designed for daily use and long-term reliability

Ultra-Slim Sliding Doors

Ultra-slim sliding doors are designed for projects where minimal frames, maximum glass and a clean architectural finish are the main priorities. They can create a beautiful result, but they need the right project conditions and careful detailing.

Important Note

Ultra-slim sliding systems are not right for every project. They require accurate openings, careful base preparation and a clear understanding of maintenance and long-term performance.
For exposed sites, coastal locations or homes where weather performance is the main priority, a Lift & Slide system may be the better option.

Key Benefits

  • Minimal central sightlines
  • Maximum glass and natural light
  • Clean architectural appearance
  • Frames can be concealed depending on design
  • Suitable for modern extensions and design-led homes
  • Excellent option where the site is sheltered and well prepared

Best For

Sheltered sites, garden-facing rooms, modern extensions, architectural projects and clients who prioritise minimal sightlines and maximum glass.

Starting Price Guidance

Smart Aluminium Front Doors

Passage front doors can be designed with integrated smart access, giving you a secure and simple way to enter your home without relying only on keys.

Designed as part of the door

We only recommend smart access systems that integrate properly with the locking hardware and door build. This gives a cleaner appearance, better compatibility and more reliable day-to-day use than basic add-on devices.

Why Choose Passage

Designed and made in Ireland

Our front doors and specialist aluminium systems are produced with Irish homes, Irish weather and long-term use in mind.

Focused on three product types

We specialise in aluminium front doors, Lift & Slide doors and ultra-slim sliding systems instead of trying to do everything.

Practical product advice

We guide you toward the right system for your home, not just the most expensive one.

Built around long-term performance

We consider exposure, orientation, opening size, drainage, access, maintenance and how the product will actually be used.

Clear pricing guidance

Starting-from pricing helps you understand the likely investment before requesting a full quotation.

Survey, manufacture and installation support

Your project is reviewed before manufacture so the final product suits the opening, the site conditions and the way the home will be used.

Who We’re Best Suited For

Passage is best suited for:

  • Homeowners building or renovating high-quality homes
  • Architects specifying premium aluminium door systems
  • Builders working on large openings or specialist entrance doors
  • Clients who want clear advice before choosing a system
  • Projects where durability, design and correct detailing matter
  • Homes where long-term performance is as important as appearance

We may not be the right fit if…

  • You are looking for the cheapest possible option
  • You need a same-week installation
  • The opening cannot be prepared properly

  • You are not ready to provide basic drawings, sizes or photos for review

This helps us focus on the projects where we can provide the most value.

Frequently Asked Questions

What products does Passage specialise in?

Passage specialises in bespoke aluminium front doors, Lift & Slide doors and ultra-slim sliding doors for Irish homes.

Do you manufacture in Ireland?

Yes. Passage front doors are designed and made in Ireland, with our systems selected and detailed for Irish homes and weather conditions.

What areas do you cover?

We mainly work across Leinster and the South East, including Wexford, Dublin, Wicklow, Waterford, Kilkenny and surrounding areas.

Do you offer supply-only or supply and installation?

Most of our work is supplied and installed, as correct fitting is a major part of long-term performance. Supply-only may be considered on suitable projects.

How much does a Passage front door cost?

Every front door is made to order, so pricing depends on size, design, glazing, finish, hardware and smart access options. We provide starting-from pricing to help you understand the likely investment before requesting a detailed quote.

How much does a Lift & Slide door cost?

Lift & Slide pricing depends on the size of the opening, number of panels, glazing specification, colour, threshold detail, site access and installation requirements. Starting-from pricing is available for guidance.

What is best for exposed Irish locations?

Lift & Slide is generally the stronger choice for exposed and coastal locations because of its robust frame, weather sealing and suitability for large openings.

What is the difference between Lift & Slide and ultra-slim sliding doors?

Lift & Slide doors are usually chosen for performance, large panels and everyday usability. Ultra-slim sliding doors are chosen for minimal frames, maximum glass and a clean architectural finish. Ultra-slim systems require more careful site conditions and are not suitable for every project.

Can I unlock my front door with my phone or fingerprint?

Yes. Smart access options are available on selected Passage front door configurations, including fingerprint access, phone unlocking and keypad entry.

Do I need drawings for a quote?

Drawings are helpful but not always essential. Photos, rough sizes and a short description of the project are often enough for us to give initial guidance. For a detailed quotation, we may need drawings, dimensions or a site review.

What information should I send for a quote?

The most useful information is: project location, new build or renovation, photos or drawings, approximate sizes, preferred product, colour or finish preference, installation timeframe, and any access or site restrictions.

What are your typical lead times?

Typical lead times depend on the product and final specification. As a guide: front doors are typically 6–8 weeks, Lift & Slide doors are typically 8–10 weeks, and ultra-slim sliding doors are confirmed after project review.

Do you carry out a site assessment?

Yes. Site assessment is available where required and is especially important for large openings, replacement projects, exposed locations and ultra-slim sliding systems.
