This bespoke aluminium entrance door system, designed and installed by Fortis Aluminium makes a strong first impression while fitting perfectly with the home’s clean, modern style.
Finished in matt graphite, the door is framed by frosted glass side panels that fill the hallway with soft natural light while keeping the family’s privacy protected.
The design combines precision and durability with a welcoming feel, creating an entrance that’s both practical and inviting.
Our PVD satin brass door furniture – including the LP400 sleeved letter plate , KM388 centre door knob and DKB200 ring door knocker – adds a touch of warmth and elegance, enhancing the overall look of the home.
The result is a front door that blends style, strength, and everyday comfort - built to last and made to feel like home.

The homeowners of this dated bungalow in Devon wanted a functional family home that felt light and reflected its coastal surroundings.
Michelle Lyons Interiors rose to the challenge and Project Esther was born; a full rebuild with a focus on timeless design and practicality for family life.
Coastal’s Opera Range was the perfect choice to achieve this balance.
At the front of the property, the family wanted a statement piece. Southfield Windows designed a striking front door in matt black, featuring Coastal Group’s Classic Opera Lever Handle (TBH095) in satin brass finish, paired with a matching sleeved letter plate (LP400).
The combination creates a beautiful welcome, with the warm brass colours of the hardware contrasting against the stark black of the door.
The design concept was carried throughout the property, with Opera espagnolette window handles (TBH020) fitted in the bathroom for continuity of style and real attention to detail.
Designer Feedback
Constance of Michelle Lyons Interior said
"As a company, we focus on timeless and classic design. We find the finishing touches are what make or break the final reveal of a project, and this is where Coastal products really took their place.
The Opera Range has been a staple in completing this Project Esther to the high standard we expect. True British craftsmanship at its finest, the Opera Range added elevated elegance and care to our work. Our clients wanted the highest quality finish, and they found that through these products.
Not only beautiful to look at but fit for purpose with a young family running around and able to withstand the elements of being close to the sea. This was our first interaction with Coastal and their products, and it was wonderful from start to end.
From the products themselves to customer service and aftercare, they have been a fantastic company to work with, and we are already extending our collaborative relationship into the next project."
Project Esther is now a sophisticated, functional family home with stunning interior and show-stopping front entrance. The Opera range added the finishing tough throughout the property, contributing to a home that is both beautiful and practical.

Coastal Group worked with Bercot Kitchens to supply hardware for the new Halwyn venue in Crantock, Cornwall. Located on a family-run farm, the site includes a 15-bay driving range, a 12-hole landscaped mini golf course, and a feasting barn restaurant.
With its coastal location and high visitor numbers, the main priority was to specify hardware that could withstand the harsh salty sea air while looking good for years to come.
The vision for the project was nature-inspired, making the most of the beautiful valley views across Crantock. The designer also carefully considered the proximity to the sea and the selection of hardware needed to withstand the coastal environment.
With an open-plan living design at the heart of the restaurant, the goal was to connect indoors and outdoors, creating a bright, welcoming space for visitors.
Inside, the restaurant was designed with a classic style, making the Regent Lever Handle in satin brass the perfect choice. Its delicate finish added warmth throughout the rustic country style restaurant.
To maintain flow between the restaurant and the outside landscape, open plan lift and slide doors were specified as a central design feature.
The HS Portal Comfort Unit Lift & Slide – Scheme L offered a practical solution, providing large-format openings that open to decking and outdoor seating. The design and products frame the stunning views while standing up to the harsh sea air.
Due to the size and weight of the doors, the KM7 Lift & Slide Handlewas specified for its strength and ease of operation on large panel doors. The door also features a flush pull handle with a radiused end, providing easy operation, ideal for the exterior side of the doors.
Following through to the driving range, heavy barn doors required robust hinges. Coastal’s Group’s 316 marine grade stainless steel projection hinges were selected to allow full operation for visitors, while being exposed to salty sea air.
As part of the design concept, Opera lever handles on round rose were added to the doors leading out to the driving range, creating a consistent design across the venue. The Halwyn venue balances style and functionality, with carefully selected hardware that withstands the harsh conditions while complementing the nature-inspired, open-plan design. The result is a welcoming venue that connects the beautiful valley and coastal views with practical, long-lasting hardware solutions.

One of the nation’s favourite clothing and lifestyle retailers - Seasalt – which started life in West Cornwall is opting for high performance door hardware from another Cornish company on its growing number of nationwide shops.
The family business, which started life in 1981, has grown significantly thanks to its coastal-inspired clothing, footwear and homeware products. To keep up with demand, Seasalt now has over 40 shops in the UK spanning from the Isles of Scilly to Morpeth in the North East.
To make sure their new premises are fully protected against everything the weather can throw at them, Seasalt is now specifying the blu™ range of door hardware when it opens a new outlet.
Also based in Cornwall, the blu™ range of hardware was selected due to the combination of high performance and contemporary styling. Manufactured from 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel the handles are corrosion-resistant and extremely durable.
“As Seasalt it’s important that every customer has the best possible experience, and that starts with the styling of our shop fronts when it comes to our high street presence,” said Seasalt Properties Director, Edward Jeffery.
“With many of our shops in seaside towns, the effects of the weather, including corrosion, can be an issue, which is why the new bluTM range was chosen.
“The appeal of the styling combined with the fact that every product is manufactured using corrosion-resistant 316 Marine Grade stainless steel means it is fit for purpose with the added benefit of a lifetime guarantee,” added Mr Jeffery.
Seasalt has opted for the blu™ range of pull handles
Coastal Group's Managing Director, Loren Jenner, is delighted. “Seasalt is a highly respected nationwide retailer which has built a hugely successful business from here in Cornwall based on style and quality. We are really pleased that, as a fellow Cornish company, our pull handles are now appearing on their growing number of new retail outlets.”
