About this article
Combining style, functionality, and durability, ironmongery plays a crucial role in any joinery project. From sleek cupboard handles and knobs, to innovative sliding door systems, selecting the right hardware can elevate any design and ensure long lasting, reliable performance. Keeping up to date with essential products is important for any modern joiner, so in this guide, our experts at Quest will explore the must-have items in your toolbox to ensure you can meet and exceed your client’s expectations, no matter the project you’re working on.
With months of winter left to endure, the pitch-black nights and sub-zero temperatures are set to remain for a little while longer.
As a professional joiner, you’ll know how important both durability and functionality are when completing projects.
So when working on external door installations for your clients, it’s vital to ensure that they’re capable of keeping the biting cold and rain out while the cosy warm stays in.
There are several weatherproofing techniques you can use that are guaranteed to protect your client’s homes from the elements, ensure durability, and enhance aesthetics (because looks are equally as important).
In this guide, our experts at Quest walk you through these different techniques and share our favourite products that put the perfect finishing touches on every project.
Install weather seals for draught protection
Weatherproof seals are fitted around the edge of the door and protect your client’s home and comfort, keeping draughts out, the warmth in, and preventing water ingress and damage.
Not only do they keep homes warm and dry, but they also increase energy efficiency – lowering energy bills by preventing air leaks and helping maintain a comfortable temperature – and reduce the amount of noise that enters and escapes.
Here at Quest, we have a range of weatherproof seals to choose from, including a range of different-sized compression seals that ensure a tight weather-resistant seal around the doorframe. So you’re guaranteed to find the ideal option for each project you’re working on.
Opt for high-quality threshold seals
Threshold seals are another great option to help protect your client’s homes from harsh winter weather and improve thermal efficiency.
There are a range of options available, from aluminium threshold seals designed specifically for heavy-duty applications, to bristle brush seals that are ideal for domestic external doors.
No matter the type of locking system you need for your next professional installation, we’ve got you covered here at Quest. And when paired with the Eclipse ball bearing butt hinges, your customers are guaranteed a heavy-duty, long-lasting solution for all standard-sized doors.
As a specialist supplier of joinery and ironmongery products to the carpentry and joinery industries, you can be confident that when you come to us, you’re choosing the very best quality for your customers’ projects.

Invest in Weather-Resistant Door Locks and Handles
In addition to weatherproof seals and door thresholds, the locks and handles you recommend can also make a huge difference when it comes to weatherproofing your client’s external doors.
Multi-point door locks, for example, provide a high level of security and can withstand both heat and moisture, making them suitable for all seasons and ensuring a long-lasting solution.
It’s the same with multi-point door lock handles, and they’re the perfect option wherever weather resistance, durability, and safety are the top priorities.
