Surface treatment: The aluminum profile is treated with a series of cleaning and pre-treatment processes to prepare it for painting. It is then powder-coated in a specialist powder coating booth and cured in specialist ovens .
Sliding door runner wheels come in various designs to accommodate different door types and weights. Some of the common types include
It is arguably, the strongest aluminum grade in the 6000 series used for making aluminum profiles for windows and doors. 6063 grade is extruded and features some of the ideal properties for doors and windows.
Security. Wrought iron fences are a great choice for securing a property. They’re strong and can be built to tall heights. In addition, they can be shaped into a spear or you fix pointed finial tops to each picket, making it virtually impossible to climb. And because it is readily available, you can secure your property ASAP.
In addition to security, outdoor metal lock boxes are also designed to withstand the elements. Rain, snow, and UV rays can damage items stored outdoors, but a metal lock box can protect them from these environmental hazards. The metal construction is rust-resistant and can withstand extreme temperatures, ensuring that the contents inside remain safe and undamaged.

Gate construction is a big one to watch out for too. Unlike a fence panel that is fixed in place and does not move, the gates need to be able to support the weight of the entire leaf as well as any leverage force pressures exerted on them. This is where a proper gate frame comes into play. Many companies will simply weld two posts to the end of a fence section and call it a gate. Functional, but not really all that strong. You will sometimes see cross-bracing on wider gates as a band-aid to poor construction as well. The correct way to make a gate is with a fully boxed and welded gate frame like our Stronghold Iron line. That makes a solid, 3-sided frame that will withstand way more pressure and weight without cracking or deforming. Here is an image showing the U-frame on one of our gates.
