Good day. Can I kindly request a quote. I want to close my patio with either sliding doors or stackable doors depending on affordability. Main door = 6m wide X 2.5m high. Second opening = 1.7m wide X 2.5m high Third opening = 1.5m wide X 2.5m There are two existing sliding doors which I'd like to remove and reuse if possible, their measurements are as follows; 2.4m wide X 2.1m high 1.8m wide X 2.1m high I understand that the final quote will be based on final measurements but I'm seeking an estimate for now. Please quote me and advise with regards to alternative options as I am not fixed with heights. If the 2.1m heights are more feasible, then I'll be happy to install block windows above the doors. The two sides of the patio do not need to be accessible.

1.We have existing wood back door with window panel. 2. We have a 2 door with small glass panels. 3. Bedroom window to convert to sliding door. And window panel on 1 of 2 sides. Want to replace all with aluminium or upvc. It also needs to have a mesh door to keep flies, mozzies, cockroaches oout. I would like a golden bronzy colour. Or white. And it must have a guarentee and not be easy to break into. I believe this is a weakness of aluminium doors and windows. And all 3 must have a trellidoor or equivalent in same colour with a rust free guarentee.

Image attached: 1. Front door with padlock and glass panel above. I would like to replace the timber door and possibly the doorframe (if possible). And I would prefer the clear glass panel to be replaced with a solid panel to match the finish of the timber, inside and outside. Ideally all to be painted a medium sheen-black on the exterior and a neutral colour paint finish inside. There would need to be provision for a Yale handlock and a knocker/with knob on the exterior. Please suggest a design with raise and fielded panels - I am also open to the idea of a stable door.
