Custom Door Fabrication for Interior Design Projects

Why interior designers choose made-to-measure doors

Standard doors rarely fit the proportions a designer has in mind. A tall pivot door, a slim-framed glass partition door, or a steel-look door with a specific mullion pattern usually has to be made from scratch. Working with a fabricator that builds to measure lets the design stay intact from concept to finished opening.

Custom work also gives you control over the details that define a space: frame depth, profile thickness, hardware positions, and the way a door meets a wall or ceiling.

Iron versus aluminum for interior doors

Each material suits different looks and uses. The choice affects weight, sightlines, and maintenance, so it is worth deciding early.

• Iron offers a strong, heavy character and fine detailing, well suited to industrial, loft, and heritage-inspired interiors.
• Aluminum is lighter and allows slender profiles and large glass panels, ideal for contemporary and minimalist spaces.

We can advise which material works best for the opening size and the intended finish.

Our process from drawing to installation

Every project follows the same clear steps so designers know what to expect. It begins with an inquiry that includes photos and the design drawings. We then visit the site to measure the opening accurately, since on-site measurement is what prevents fit problems later.

Next comes a written specification and drawing for your approval. Once approved, the door is produced in our factory, finished with hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating where needed, and installed on site.

Finishes and colors that match your palette

Finishing is where a door meets the rest of the room. Powder coating offers a wide range of colors and textures, from matte black to warm tones, and can be matched to a sample you provide. Galvanizing protects iron against corrosion, which matters for exterior-facing or humid spaces.

Tell us early which surfaces the door must relate to, such as wood, stone, or plaster, so the finish is chosen with the whole room in mind.

Coordinating with architects and contractors

Doors often depend on other trades, so coordination matters. Share the rough opening dimensions, floor finish thickness, and any wall construction details with us before drawings are finalized. If the contractor is still building the opening, we can review the frame requirements together.

• Confirm finished floor level before measuring.
• Agree on hardware and handle positions in the drawing.
• Schedule installation after painting and tiling where possible.

Safety and standards for interior doors

Doors must open smoothly, hold their weight, and meet the safety requirements that apply to the space. Where a door forms part of a guardrail or a glass partition, the relevant Israeli standards apply, and we check the design with the engineer. We do not guess at structural values, so any critical dimension is confirmed against the applicable requirements before production starts.

Frequently asked questions

Can you produce a door to a designer's own drawing?

Yes. We work from your drawings and written specification, and we confirm dimensions on site before production. If anything is unclear, we will raise it before fabrication begins.

Do you measure on site before making the door?

Yes, on-site measurement is a standard step. It helps ensure the finished door fits the actual opening rather than the nominal size on paper.

Which finish is better for an interior door, iron or aluminum?

It depends on the look and the space. Iron suits a heavier, more characterful design, while aluminum suits slim profiles and large glass areas.

How does the process start?

Send us photos and your drawings through WhatsApp or the contact form. We will reply with next steps, including a site visit to measure the opening.

Common mistakes to avoid

Ordering a door before the floor finish and opening are confirmed often leads to a poor fit. Choosing a finish without checking it against the surrounding materials can also disappoint once the door is installed.

Our recommendation

Measure and confirm the finished floor level before drawing the door, and bring a physical color or material sample to the first meeting so the finish is matched accurately.

Summary

Custom door fabrication lets interior designers get iron or aluminum doors built exactly to the design. Measure on site, specify the finish early, and coordinate with the contractor for a clean result.
