Black aluminium hinged doors are one of the most asked-for looks in South African homes: a crisp black frame around clear glass reads as modern on a new build and smart on an older house. Coetz™ makes every hinged door design in matt black, single or double, glazed or clad. This guide covers where black works, the prices compared with White, what to know about hardware colour, and how to keep a black finish looking new.
In this guide
Where black works
- Modern houses. Black frames outline the glass and suit plaster, concrete and timber cladding.
- Garden and patio doors. From inside, a black frame recedes and the garden takes over.
- Older homes. A Classic or decorative black door gives a period house a sharp update.
- Kitchens and back doors. A black half clad door hides scuffs better than a light colour.
Black looks best when the windows match, so plan every frame in one colour; see black aluminium windows.
Designs available in black
Black aluminium hinged doors come in every design: Large Pane, Classic and a more decorative design, glazed, half clad or full clad, plus Y-Louvre and stable doors. Singles are 900, 1 000 and 1 200 mm wide and doubles 1 600 and 1 800 mm, in 2 100, 2 400 and 2 600 mm heights. Compare the looks in aluminium door designs.

Hardware on a black door
Hinged doors come with an aluminium lever spring handle and a latch lock. Colour-coded hinges, flush bolts and handles are offered in most frame colours, but not in black, so the hardware on black aluminium hinged doors will not be colour-matched; ask us which finish it comes in before you order. The PVC weather seals are black on every door, which suits a black frame. See aluminium door handles and aluminium door locks.
Sun and heat
Like any dark frame, black aluminium hinged doors get warmer in direct sun than light ones. On a hot, west-facing wall, an overhang or a covered patio keeps the door and the room behind it cooler. The glass is the same 6.38 mm clear laminated safety glass whatever the frame colour.
Open in or open out
Each door is ordered to open in or out, at the same price. The manufacturer does not recommend open-in doors for weather-facing openings, so choose open out where rain can reach the door.
Caring for a black finish
Powder coat needs no painting. Wash black aluminium hinged doors with mild soap and water a few times a year, rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth, because water marks and dust show more on a dark finish. At the coast, rinse more often to remove salt. Avoid abrasive pads and solvent cleaners.
Ordering
Choose the design, size, colour and opening direction, then the cylinder for the lock. Coetz™ supplies black aluminium hinged doors ready to fit; your builder or installer fits the door. We deliver across South Africa, or you can collect free from Laser Park. Glazed doors must meet SANS 10400-N, published by the South African Bureau of Standards.
