Metal & Hardware Standard
The handle is decided by the style, not offered as a menu.
Price is a relative direction only — never a quotation. The real figure is confirmed by ALUMAX or a specialist at site measurement.
One approved build, component by component.
One coherent hardware result: the STYLE sets the finish, ENGINEERING sets where a Gola or an edge pull is used, and the only client choice is Essential or Bespoke. All supplied and installed by ALUMAX; ELS specifies. The named mechanism brands are the current standard, confirmed on the ALUMAX catalogue.
