Most of our work comes from referrals, which suits a business built on door schedules, frame profiles and hardware that has to line up on site. Below are notes from homeowners, architects and contractors who ordered through us in the past two years.
We ordered eleven meranti interior doors for a Parkhurst renovation. The frames and architraves arrived cut to the 813mm openings, so the carpenter spent his time hanging leaves instead of trimming. Two leaves needed a light sand on the top edge, nothing more.
I spec aluminium pivot units on coastal projects because timber entry doors there are a maintenance problem. The rough opening set-out they sent matched our floor build-up, and the weather seal detail held through the first winter.
We run a small building crew and bulk-order hardware for townhouse clusters. Backsets were checked against our stile widths before dispatch, which saved a return trip. Lever handles and cylinders matched across all 24 units.
Feedback from homeowners, architects and contractors who ordered through our options — from single meranti sets to full townhouse schedules. The notes below focus on what actually happened on site.
Townhouse development, Centurion
We sent a schedule for 42 units and got back a matched list — door leaves, frames, architraves and hinges all sized to the same 813mm opening. The backset check on the narrow stiles saved us a re-order halfway through the block.
Pieter M., building contractor
Aluminium pivot entry, Hermanus
Coastal air had wrecked two timber front doors before this one. The pivot unit was set out before the screed went down, which the installer flagged early. Two winters in and the seals still sit flush with no swelling at the threshold.
Lerato D., homeowner
Oak veneer interiors, Sandton
The spec table for frame profiles made it easy to match the architraves to the existing skirtings. We ordered the hardware pack in matte black so every handle in the house reads the same finish. Delivery landed before the painting crew arrived.
Nadia K., interior architect
DIY meranti set, Roodepoort
I measured the opening twice and still got the width wrong on the first try. The fitting notes on sealing all six faces before hanging were the part I would have skipped. Door went in clean on the second attempt.
Sipho N., DIY customer
Bulk order, Cape Town
We needed exterior doors that would not need re-sealing every year. The aluminium range was quoted with the RAL colour and weather seals included, so there were no surprises when the units arrived on site.
Marius V., project manager
Renovation, Pretoria East
Replacing four interior doors in a 1970s house meant matching odd frame depths. The team walked through the profile options and sent a written quote the same week. Hinges and locksets came as one pack, which kept the finish consistent.
Annelie B., homeowner
Doors rarely fail because of the leaf. They fail at the frame line, the hinge screw, the threshold that sits 8mm proud of the tiles. So the options below are grouped by where the work happens on site, not by catalogue aisle.
Whether you are fitting one bathroom door in Randburg or scheduling 40 units for a townhouse row in Pretoria East, the sequence stays the same: measure, match profiles, then plan the install around tiling and painting.
We check the rough opening, not just the leaf. Standard 813mm and 914mm openings get a straight answer; anything wider or off-square gets a custom frame profile drawn up before you commit.
Meranti for painted interiors, oak veneer where the grain stays visible, aluminium for coastal and high-rainfall exteriors. We will tell you when aluminium is overkill and when timber is the wrong call.
Frame profiles matched to existing trim, architraves cut to length, hinge packs rated for the leaf weight. Locksets, cylinders and handles grouped so the finish and backset stay consistent room to room.
Hanging is slotted around screed curing, tiling and the final paint coat. Pivot units need the rough opening set out before floor finishes go down, so we flag that early rather than on the day.
Contractors send a door schedule and we quote per unit, with delivery phased to match the build programme. Repeated profiles across a development keep the hardware and frame costs predictable.
Sealing all six faces before hanging, clearing the hinge rebate, adjusting the strike plate after the first wet season. Delivery lead times are confirmed in writing so you can plan the weekend.
Some clients arrive with a full architect's schedule, others with a photo of a doorway and a tape measure. These are the four formats we run most often, and what each one actually covers.
You handle the fitment, we handle the order. Suits builders and DIY homeowners who already have a carpenter on site.
Our teams hang the doors, set the frames and align the locksets. Common for renovations where the floor finish is already down.
For townhouse developments, small contractors and architects working across Gauteng or the Western Cape.
Come see the grain, hinge finishes and frame profiles in person before you commit. Useful when choosing between meranti, oak veneer and aluminium.
