Bespoke
When standard hardware doesn’t solve the detail
A sketch, a drawing or a photo of the problem is enough to start. We’ll tell you honestly whether, and how, it can be built.
Discuss a bespoke solutionThe process
Five steps from problem to finished detail
01 · Design problem
A sketch, a drawing or a photo of the detail that won’t resolve. We talk through what the finished piece needs to do.
02 · Engineering
Sections, tolerances, fixings and finish, resolved on paper before anything is cut.
03 · Prototype
A first-off part is machined so you can check it against the job before committing to a run.
04 · Manufacture
The profile or component is manufactured to the length, quantity and finish the project needs.
05 · Finished detail
The finished detail arrives ready to install, resolved exactly as drawn, with specification documentation.

Frequently asked
Is there a minimum order quantity?
There is no fixed minimum order quantity, but very small volumes carry tooling and setup costs proportionally. We’ll tell you honestly where that threshold sits before you commit to anything.
What are typical lead times?
A straightforward profile or component typically runs three to six weeks from approved drawing to prototype, and a further two to four weeks to manufacture. Complex geometry or finishing can extend this.
Who owns the design and tooling?
Tooling developed for your project is yours to use again. We don’t resupply your bespoke profile or component to another client without your agreement.
What does a bespoke solution cost?
Cost depends on complexity, material and volume. We provide a budget estimate early, before detailed engineering, so you can test feasibility against the project.
Do you always prototype before manufacturing?
Yes. Every bespoke detail is proven as a first-off prototype before we commit to a production run, so you can check fit, finish and function against the real job.
Can you make hinge cover plates with our name on them?
Yes. We make co-branded hinge cover plates for joiners and studios, with your name alongside ours: Client × Alumtech. Talk to Alumtech about minimum order, marking method and lead time.
