Bald Hills doors, made just up the road in Brendale
Our factory and showroom sit at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, about 8 km from Bald Hills and roughly a 12 minute drive down South Pine Road [C2, C38]. That's close enough that the measure, the build, the install and the aftercare all run through the same local crew, with Bald Hills jobs slotting into our regular North Brisbane runs [C5, C34]. Every door is made to measure in that 1,700 sqm facility rather than ordered in from somewhere else.

Why Bald Hills chooses custom aluminium glass doors
Bald Hills nearly tripled in size between 1961 and 1971, growing to around 6,000 people as new streets pushed north toward the South Pine River. Subdivision had started with the Richmond Heights estate in 1959, and the suburb mostly kept the shape it set then. Even at the 2021 Census, 93.8% of occupied dwellings were separate houses, with just 5.6% semi-detached or townhouses. So when we take a call from Bald Hills, we’re usually standing in front of a detached house from that 1960s and 70s run, looking at a door that’s often older than the person who owns it [C37, C39].
That age shows up in specific ways. Rollers wear flat and the door drags. Frames move as the house settles, so the panel no longer sits square. Seals give up. And because these houses predate current glazing rules, the glass in an original door often isn’t safety glass at all. AS 1288, the Australian Standard for glass in buildings, requires Grade A toughened or laminated safety glass in doors. Doors glazed in the boom years came long before that bar existed.
Location adds its own pressure. The Gympie Arterial runs through the middle of the suburb, and the North Coast rail line has crossed it since 1888. What either corridor means for noise varies house by house, so we’d rather assess your opening than promise numbers off a webpage. The bigger factor is water. The suburb’s northern and eastern edges run down to low flats near the South Pine River and the Tinchi Tamba wetlands, and local profiles note flood and overland-flow risk on that ground. We can’t tell you what that means for your block without seeing it. What we can say is that storm-season drainage and proper weather sealing matter more on low ground, and we spec door sills with that in mind.
This is why an off-the-shelf door is the wrong tool in Bald Hills. A 60-year-old opening is rarely the size a catalogue assumes. We measure first, then build the door to those numbers at our 1,700 sqm Brendale factory. Our installers hold Cert III in Glass and Glazing and Cert III in Carpentry, so they can square up and repair the timber around an old opening instead of forcing a new frame into a crooked hole.
Aluminium glass doors we make for Bald Hills
Here's the aluminium range we build and fit in Bald Hills. Every door is made to measure at Brendale, and most house installs are done in 1-2 days [C26, C25].
Common door problems we solve in Bald Hills
Water getting in at door sills during storms
Boom-era sills were shallow, and after decades the seals flatten and weep holes clog, so storm water has nowhere to go but inside. On the low flats near the South Pine River and Tinchi Tamba wetlands, where local profiles note overland-flow risk, drainage matters even more. Water at the sill soaks flooring and skirting quietly, and it comes back every storm season until the sill itself is fixed. Our process starts with consultation and measurement, so we check sill height, seal condition, weep holes and the drainage path before the door is built. The replacement is then made at Brendale with a sill suited to the site rather than a generic extrusion.
Wind-load compliance (AS 2047) on wide door openings
Owners replacing a 1960s door often want a wider opening than the original, and a wide sliding or stacking door carries far more wind pressure than a narrow unit. AS 2047, the Australian Standard for windows and external glazed doors, requires the door to meet the wind-load rating for its site, and an under-rated door is weakest in exactly the storm you bought it for [C29, C12]. We manufacture the door to the rating the opening needs. Building in our own factory means we're never stuck choosing the nearest stock size that happens to carry a rating [C26, C2].
Safety glass requirements (AS 1288) in door panels
Most of Bald Hills was built in the 1960s and 70s, before today's glazing rules, so original doors often carry ordinary glass rather than safety glass [C39, C36]. AS 1288 requires Grade A toughened or laminated safety glass in doors and in glazed panels that can be mistaken for doorways, because ordinary glass breaks into dangerous shards at body height [C30, C11]. Grade A safety glass is what we quote and fit in every replacement door panel, selected under AS 1288 by installers holding Cert III in Glass and Glazing [C30, C7].
Fitting security screens to new and existing doors
A new glass door usually raises the screen question, and an old screen rarely fits a new frame. Anything sold as a security screen is covered by the AS 5039 series of standards [C31, C13]. Booking a separate screen contractor afterwards means a second wait and a screen made to suit a frame they didn't build. We're an authorised installer of Prowler Proof and Crimsafe, so the screen is specified with the door and fitted by the same crew in one visit, on new doors or your existing ones [C6, C32].

Our hinged entrance range
Architectural glass doors in Bald Hills
If you're after a front entrance rather than a sliding opening, our architectural range covers hinged aluminium entrance doors, entry doors and custom entry panels for homes and commercial premises. Panels come in single, double or multi-panel layouts, with your pick of handles, locks, hinges and privacy options. For a west-facing Bald Hills entry that cops the afternoon sun, these doors can integrate with the ComfortEdge system, which is designed to cut heat transfer through the door and help steady indoor temperatures. We build on Breezeway and Vantage systems, the same brands used across our door and window installations. The full range, with configurations and hardware, lives on our architectural doors page. Or call and we'll talk through what suits your entry.
Why Bald Hills trusts Superior Glass
Superior Glass has been making and installing glass doors since 1972, and it's still family-owned, with director Nathan Fox involved in the day-to-day. The doors come out of our own 1,700 sqm factory and showroom at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, and our own crews install them. We're QBCC licensed and insured. In Queensland, the QBCC requires a Glass, Glazing and Aluminium licence for paid glazing work, including fabricating and installing doors. Our installers hold Cert III in Glass and Glazing and Cert III in Carpentry, which matters on Bald Hills' older frames where the carpentry is half the job. Residential door installs usually run 1-2 days. And customers tell the story better than we can. Reviews mention stacker doors and security screens fitted without a hitch, and decades-old windows replaced promptly with the mess cleaned up afterwards.

Aluminium Glass Doors in Bald Hills: your questions answered
Our factory and showroom are at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, roughly 8 km from Bald Hills and about a 12 minute drive via South Pine Road [C2, C38]. We don't have a Bald Hills office; every job runs from Brendale, where the doors are actually made [C3, C26]. Our fleet covers North Brisbane and the Pine Rivers corridor, so Bald Hills installs slot into regular local runs rather than one-off trips.
Residential door installs typically take 1-2 days. Older Bald Hills houses can add time if the opening is out of square or the surrounding timber needs repair, which is common in homes from the suburb's 1960s and 70s build run. Our installers hold carpentry as well as glazing qualifications, so that work happens in the same visit instead of waiting on a second trade.
Yes. AS 1288, the Australian Standard for glass in buildings, requires Grade A toughened or laminated safety glass in doors and in glazed panels that could be mistaken for a doorway [C30, C11]. Many original doors in Bald Hills predate that requirement, since most of the suburb went up in the 1960s and 70s. Any replacement door panel we make is glazed with Grade A safety glass to suit.
AS 2047, the Australian Standard covering external glazed doors, requires doors to meet the wind-load rating for the specific site, and wide sliding or stacking openings carry higher loads than narrow ones [C29, C12]. We assess the opening when we measure, then manufacture the door at our Brendale factory to the rating it needs rather than picking the nearest stock size.
Yes. We supply and install Prowler Proof and Crimsafe security screens as an authorised installer, so the screen is measured with the door and fitted by the same crew [C6, C32]. Products sold as security screens are covered by the AS 5039 series of standards [C31, C13]. One booking covers both, which beats chasing a second contractor to retrofit a screen to a frame they didn't build.
We do. The same crews that fit doors handle aluminium window replacements across Bald Hills, made to measure at the same Brendale factory [C4, C26]. Plenty of jobs in the suburb's older houses bundle both, since doors and windows from the same build era tend to wear out together. See our Aluminium Glass Windows Bald Hills page for the window range, or ask for a combined quote when you call.
