Luxury Door Handles
Across Egypt

Do you supply luxury door handles to villa contractors and developers in Egypt?

Yes — direct from our Mumbai workshop with no distributor margin. Kakal Brothers has manufactured solid-brass, S.S. 304 and genuine Swarovski-crystal door handles, lever handles and cabinet knobs since 1960, and supplies the contractors, developers, architects and interior designers building Egypt's high-end villas, gated estates and boutique hotels. Send your BOQ or door schedule and we quote per item. WhatsApp +91 98202 48166.

What import duty and VAT apply to door handles shipped to Egypt?

Architectural hardware imported into Egypt is subject to 14% VAT on the CIF value plus customs duty, with the duty rate set by HS code under the Egyptian Customs Authority tariff. Two pre-shipment steps decide whether your consignment clears: an ACID number must be raised on the Nafeza single window and mirrored by the exporter on CargoX at least 48 hours before the vessel loads — since October 2021 for sea freight and from 1 January 2026 for air freight, cargo without an ACID on the bill of lading is rejected on arrival — and, for regulated finished goods, the manufacturer must be entered in the GOEIC importers' registry under Ministerial Decree 43/2016 before the goods ship. Kakal Brothers is set up for both: we register on CargoX against your ACID, supply the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and coordinate with your clearing agent at Alexandria, Port Said, Damietta or Ain Sokhna. WhatsApp +91 98202 48166 for HS codes and a landed-cost estimate.

Which Egyptian port should our shipment come through?

Alexandria and El Dekheila handle most general cargo for Cairo, Giza and the Delta; Port Said East and Damietta serve the canal corridor; and Ain Sokhna is the usual gateway for the New Administrative Capital and Red Sea projects, with El Gouna served from Safaga and Hurghada. Your ACID number must be raised on Nafeza before the vessel loads, whichever port you use.

How long does it take to get door handle samples to a site in Egypt?

Once you send your BOQ or door schedule we quote per item and air-freight samples to site — typically 10 to 15 working days for standard finishes, and 3 to 4 weeks for fully custom or branded profiles. Sea freight for the main order is quoted separately against your programme dates. WhatsApp +91 98202 48166 with your project details for an exact timeline.

Do you supply hardware for hotels and branded residences in Egypt?

Yes. We run a dedicated bespoke-manufacture service for hospitality contractors and interior designers — custom profiles, engraving, branded handles and project (BOQ) pricing across guestrooms, suites and public areas. That covers the boutique-hotel and serviced-apartment pipeline in Cairo and New Cairo as well as the wider resort and executive-housing market across Egypt.

What does a full hardware package cost for a luxury villa in Egypt?

For a large villa or bungalow, a full door and cabinet hardware package typically starts in the range of ₹6–10 lakh ex-works and scales up for bespoke Swarovski-crystal or PVD-gold specifications. Pricing is quoted per item against your actual door schedule rather than as a package rate, so the figure moves with door count, finish and handing. Freight, duty and VAT are additional and depend on your port and HS classification.

Can you work to an architect's or interior designer's specification?

Yes — that is most of what we do. Send the specification, the finish schedule and the handing, and we manufacture to it. We can match an existing European specification at a fraction of the list price, produce a custom profile from a drawing, or engrave and brand handles for a developer's own estate identity.

Do you work with Egyptian developers on multi-unit estates?

Yes. Gated estates and multi-unit schemes are the strongest fit for direct manufacturer supply, because a repeated door schedule across dozens or hundreds of units is exactly where the distributor margin hurts most. We quote per item at project volumes, hold the specification across phases so later units match earlier ones, and ship against your programme.
