Ordering custom doors allows you to achieve the exact aesthetic, dimensions, and architectural performance required for your project. Whether for modern residential homes or commercial properties, the process follows a structured workflow to ensure quality, precision, and seamless installation.
1. Consultation & Initial Specifications
The process begins with defining your project requirements and design intent:
-
Dimensions & Openings: Measuring the exact height, width, and wall thickness of the rough opening.
-
Material Selection: Choosing the appropriate material based on location and exposure (e.g., solid teak wood, engineered timber, aluminum frames, or glass panels).
-
Design & Style: Defining the aesthetic—ranging from traditional carved panels to minimalist flush doors, pivot doors, or sliding barn configurations.
-
Performance Requirements: Specifying soundproofing (STC rating), fire rating, weatherproofing, or enhanced security locking mechanisms.
2. Technical Drawings & Approval (CAD / Shop Drawings)
Once the specifications are set, technical shop drawings are created for review:
-
Detailed Schematics: Detailed CAD drawings show elevations, cross-sections, frame details, hinge placements, and clearance allowances.
-
Hardware Integration: Planning for handles, locksets, concealed hinges, or automatic door closers.
-
Client Sign-off: The buyer or architect reviews and approves the technical drawings to confirm every dimension before production begins.
3. Material Sourcing & Manufacturing
After sign-off, the manufacturing phase starts in the workshop:
-
Kiln Drying & Timber Preparation: For solid wood doors, raw timber undergoes kiln drying to achieve optimal moisture content, preventing warping or cracking over time.
-
Precision Cutting & Joinery: CNC machines and skilled craftsmen cut the profiles, joinery joints (such as mortise and tenon), and hardware mortises.
-
Assembly & Quality Inspection: Panels, rails, and stiles are assembled and checked for squareness, structural strength, and flush tolerances.
4. Finishing & Pre-fitting
-
Sanding & Staining: The door surface is sanded smooth and treated with stains, veneers, clear polyurethane coats, or custom paint colors.
-
Pre-drilling Hardware: Hinge cutouts, locksets, and drop-down seals are pre-machined to ensure a smooth, hassle-free installation on-site.
-
Protective Packaging: Finished doors and frames are carefully wrapped with protective foam and moisture-resistant packaging for safe transport.
5. Site Delivery & Professional Installation
-
Site Preparation: The installation team verifies that the rough opening is clean, level, and dry.
-
Jamb & Frame Mounting: The door frame/jamb is anchored, plumbed, and squared using shims.
-
Hanging the Door: The door leaf is mounted onto its hinges or pivot system, and hardware is installed.
-
Testing & Calibration: The door is tested to ensure smooth swing/slide operation, proper latching, and uniform gaps all around.
