It applies to a wide range of products, including not only doors and frames, but partitions, curtain wall framing, radiators and convector enclosures, and numerous other similar items. There are relatively few buildings, in fact, in which hollow metal work is not used. By far the most widely used of these products are doors and frames. Since the introduction of hollow metal doors and frames their use has steadily expanded, keeping pace with the growth of the building industry.

Where glazed vision panels are specified MDM ensure that the positioning of the panels comply with the DDA Regulations - BS 8300: 2001 code of practice.
MDM are now able to offer, as an optional extra, the Extra Life paint coating system for doors fitted in locations where a long-term durability guarantee is paramount. This system involves a unique two pack powder coat technology. This process was developed in conjunction with AkzoNobel, the world's largest paint manufacturer. MDM will guarantee the integrity of the finish on steel doors undergoing the process for a minimum of 10 years. The process provides the reassurance that doors will not need to be repainted within a 10 year period from the date of manufacture, providing the finish has been maintained and has not been subjected to external damage.
