Feedback from homeowners, architects and contractors who ordered through us. Each note below mentions a specific detail: sizing, finish, delivery or how the install went on site.
Homeowner, Randburg
We had four meranti interior doors and a matching frame set for a 1960s house with slightly out-of-square openings. The team measured on site instead of trusting our numbers, and the architraves closed the gaps without extra filler. Sealing advice for the bathroom door was the part we would have missed.
Architect, Cape Town
Specified an aluminium pivot entry for a coastal build where timber would need re-sealing every year. The rough opening had to be set before the screed went down, and they flagged that early enough to keep the tiler on schedule. Powder-coat colour matched the window frames.
Contractor, Midrand
Bulk order for a 24-unit townhouse row. Door schedule went in as a spreadsheet, and the quote came back with backsets checked against the stile widths. Two units had non-standard openings and those were cut to size rather than forced into 813mm frames.
DIY customer, Pretoria East
Ordered a lockset and handle pack for three doors and asked for fitting notes. The backset check saved me from buying cylinders that would not have fitted the narrow stile on the passage door. Delivery lead time was given upfront, not after payment.
Homeowner, Somerset West
Sliding unit for a patio opening, plus weather seals along the full perimeter. The threshold was set to work with the tiled floor level, which we had not thought about until the quote came back with that note. No draughts through the first winter.
Renovation client, Krugersdorp
Replaced oak veneer doors that had swollen at the base after a plumbing leak. They explained why sealing all six faces matters before hanging, which the previous installer skipped. Hinges rated for the leaf weight, and no sagging after eight months.

"We ordered meranti interior doors for a six-unit townhouse block in Centurion. The frames arrived cut to the 813mm opening, so the fitter did not have to trim anything on site. Two leaves had a slight colour variation, which they flagged before dispatch."
"The aluminium pivot door went into a coastal house near Hermanus. Three winters in and the powder coat still looks even, no swelling at the threshold. The rough opening had to be set before screeding, which they explained upfront."
"We specified oak veneer doors and matching architraves across a renovation in Parkhurst. The backset on the locksets was checked against our stile width before the order shipped, which saved a return."
"I fitted the doors myself and used the measuring notes on the site. The hinge pack was rated for the leaf weight, so no sagging after eight months. Delivery to Pretoria took a bit longer than the estimate during the December rush."
