AirFlow 2 in 1 Door vs Other 2 in 1 Doors
Why Air Flow 2-in-1 Doors Are the Smarter, Cleaner, and More Practical Choice
On paper, most 2-in-1 doors look like a sensible idea. A door within a door, offering ventilation and security in one neat package. But when you actually live with one, you quickly realise they’re often a clunky compromise that falls short on convenience, airflow control, and day-to-day practicality.
And this is where Air Flow 2-in-1 Doors leave the others behind.
Two Doors in One? Not Quite.
Many 2-in-1 doors rely on a hinged glass panel built inside your main entrance door. To get ventilation, you swing open the glass panel (door within a door) which sits behind a security screen. Simple enough in theory. But in practice, here’s what users quickly run into:
- The hinged glass panel opens inward, taking up valuable hallway space.
- Once open, there’s no way to secure it, so it swings around in the breeze.
- If you want to open the front door, you need to close the glass panel first.
- They are a clumsy workaround that’s often inconvenient to use.
Air Flow 2-in-1 Doors — A Design That Actually Makes Sense
Air Flow 2-in-1 Doors aren’t a workaround — they’re a purpose-built solution, designed from the ground up to do the job properly. Instead of a hinged inner panel, they feature a smooth, horizontal sliding glass window behind a built-in premium security mesh.
- No awkward inserts.
- No door in door swinging into your hallway.
- No extra hinges to rattle loose over time.
- Just one smart, seamless, beautifully engineered door that works exactly the way you wish your front door always had.
Air Flow Doors – Controlled Ventilation. Better Security. Cleaner Operation.
Total Control Over Airflow, Not Just Open or Shut
Where other 2-in-1 doors give you only two ventilation options, open or closed, the Air Flow 2-in-1 Door’s sliding glass panel lets you adjust airflow to suit the day, the weather, and your comfort. Open it a little, a lot, or anywhere in between. You stay in control.
Screen Visitors Easily, Without the Awkward Door Dance
With an Air Flow Door, you can easily and safely screen your visitors. Just slide the glass panel open to speak, while staying securely protected behind the security mesh.
With other 2 in 1 doors, you need to open the hinged inner panel and awkwardly manoeuvre around it just to see who’s at the door. And what’s more, if you want to open the door, you’ve got to close the hinged panel first – that’s frustrating!
The Air Flow 2-in-1 Door keeps it simple, secure and hassle-free.
Built for Fresh Air, Not Frustration
Leave a hinged glass panel open on a breezy day, and you may have a problem. As you can’t secure the hinged panel, it often swings back and forth, banging into your walls or even scuffing your paintwork.
The Air Flow 2-in-1 Door instantly solves this with its smooth, horizontal sliding glass panel that stays securely in place, no matter the weather. No swinging panels. No hallway hazards. No frustration. Just fresh air, complete control and a door built for real homes and real conditions.
Air Flow 2 in 1 Doors – Seamless Operation from Inside or Out
The Air Flow 2-in-1 Door works smoothly whether you’re inside or out. Even with the glass panel open for ventilation, you can easily unlock and open your front door from the outside without a problem.
With other hinged-panel 2-in-1 doors, you’re forced to carefully open the front door and grab the hinged panel to secure it, which is awkward and inconvenient, especially if your hands are full.
Air Flow Doors make every entry smooth, secure, and hassle-free — no matter which side of the door you’re on.

Custom Sizes, More Colours and Made Right Here in South Australia
Air Flow Doors are locally made in Adelaide and custom-built to suit your opening, up to 2400mm high and 1100mm wide. Other 2-in-1 doors tend to come in limited, standard sizes — and if your opening isn’t textbook perfect, you’ll end up paying extra for modifications.
Materials and Colour Options?
Air Flow 2-in-1 Doors give you options. They are available in both timber and aluminium, and can be finished in a huge range of Dulux colours, so you can effortlessly match your door with your household colour scheme.
Most other 2-in-1 doors only come in timber, with limited finish options. There’s often no aluminium alternative (meaning no low-maintenance), no custom colours and no flexibility.

All our doors include a quality Lockwood lock, and our fully installed prices are usually around 15 -20% cheaper than other 2 in 1 doors, so why pay more for less?
