Who we work with on site

Most of our work comes through repeat referrals from the people who carry the risk on a build: quantity surveyors, shopfitters, developers and independent installers. These are the partners whose schedules and site standards shape how we pack, label and deliver door sets.

Trade partner

Gauteng townhouse developers

Bulk door schedules for phased handovers, with frames and architraves cut to the same profile so units stay consistent across blocks.

Trade partner

Architectural practices

Spec support on pivot and sliding units, including rough opening set-out before floor finishes go down and hardware backset checks against stile widths.

Trade partner

Shopfitting and joinery crews

Matched locksets, hinges and handles across a fit-out, so finishes do not drift between rooms and replacements stay on the same backset.

Trade partner

Cape coastal builders

Powder-coated aluminium exteriors and marine-grade hardware for high-rainfall and salt-air sites where timber needs annual re-sealing.

Trade partner

Independent installers

Fitting notes, hinge pack weights and care instructions passed through with each order, so the crew on site is not guessing at sealants or clearances.

Trade partner

Interior designers and renovators

Meranti, oak veneer and aluminium options compared side by side, with sample finishes available before a full order is placed.

Why the work holds up after handover

A door that closes cleanly in year one and still closes cleanly in year ten comes down to a few unglamorous decisions: how the opening was measured, whether the frame was set plumb before tiling, and whether the hardware was matched to the leaf weight. Those are the things we check on every job, and they are the reason clients come back with a second door schedule.

Measured before anything is ordered

We ask for the rough opening, wall thickness and finished floor level, not just the leaf size. A 914mm opening with a 40mm frame and 10mm plaster each side leaves a different leaf than the same opening in a drywall partition. Getting that wrong is the most common cause of a door that needs planing on site.

Frames set out around your finishes

On tiled floors we set the frame height to the tile bed, not to the screed. On painted walls we leave the architrave off until the second coat is dry so the joint line stays sharp. It means coordinating with your tiler and painter rather than arriving after them, and it is why we ask for the programme before we book an install date.

Materials chosen for the actual exposure

Meranti and oak veneer behave differently in a bathroom than in a passage, and aluminium makes more sense than timber on a west-facing coastal entrance. We will say so, even when the timber option is the one you came in for. Sealing all six faces before hanging is non-negotiable on any solid timber leaf.

Hardware matched to the leaf

A heavy solid door on a light domestic hinge will sag within a season. We check backset against stile width, hinge rating against leaf mass, and keep handle and cylinder finishes consistent across a house so replacements later still match.

Trade schedules handled as schedules

Townhouse developments arrive as a door schedule with unit types and quantities. We quote against that document, flag where a standard 813mm leaf will not suit the drawn opening, and stage deliveries to match the build sequence instead of dropping everything on day one.

Notes that outlast the installer

Every job leaves with fitting notes, care instructions and the finish codes used. If a hinge needs adjusting in two years or a handle needs replacing, the information is in the file rather than in someone's memory.

The same reasoning runs through our approach to measuring and installation, and the full range of units and hardware sits under solutions.
