Flat lock cladding panels offer an elegant door and gate cladding solution with the panels providing an enhanced longitudinal flat seam. The system uses a simple interlocking fold on two sides and can be installed either horizontally or vertically. The pre-formed panels are installed with concealed clips.

The system involves laying the panels on a compatible ply substrate that is fixed to the supporting structure (masonry or metal structure). To ensure the best possible quality and size in relation to the façade, the panels can be manufactured to the individual shape and size requirements. For feature doors such as entrance doors, you require a flat solid core door that will allow Architectural Metalformers to create rebates for its fixing seams.  

This system requires a lot of pre-design and planning between Architectural Metalformers' craftsmen and the door manufacturer and you are encouraged to consult with the team at Architectural Metalformers early in your design process to receive a free architectural design advice service.
