At GBS Joinery, we’re experts in the design, manufacture, and installation of made to measure doors for homes across Stockport, Manchester, and the surrounding areas. Whether you need a made to measure external door, or made to measure French doors, our team can create bespoke timber doors that fit your property beautifully and suit the style of your home.
Made to measure doors are ideal when standard sizes, styles, or materials don’t give you the right result. Older properties often have uneven openings, unique proportions, or existing details that need to be respected, while modern homes and extensions may need a cleaner, more tailored finish. With bespoke timber joinery from our specialists, your door can be designed around the space, rather than forcing the space to work around the door.
Every door we make starts with the property. We look at the size of the opening, how the door will be used, the surrounding frame, the style of your home, and the finish you want to achieve. This allows us to create made to measure doors that feel considered, practical, and in keeping with the rest of the building.
Our bespoke timber doors can be designed in a wide range of styles, from traditional panelled doors, to glazed designs, French doors, and cleaner contemporary options. You can choose details such as the panel layout, glazing style, timber type, colour, finish, and ironmongery to help your door look and function exactly as it should.
We can also manufacture complete door and frame sets, which is especially useful when replacing older doors, working with non-standard openings, or improving external entrances. The result is a made to measure door that fits accurately, operates smoothly, and looks like it belongs to the property.
A made to measure external door gives you a better fit, a more considered appearance, and improved everyday performance compared with a standard off the shelf replacement. This is particularly important for front doors, back doors, side doors, garden doors, and other external openings that need to deal with regular use and changing weather conditions.
At GBS Joinery, we can design external timber doors around the exact requirements of your home. This may include a traditional front door for a period property, a practical back door for garden access, or a glazed external door for a renovation or extension.
Each made to measure external door can be specified with suitable glazing, secure locking, quality hinges, durable finishes, and weather protection. Where required, we can also produce the frame alongside the door, helping to improve the overall fit, security, and finish of the entrance.
Made to measure French doors are a popular choice for connecting indoor living spaces with gardens, patios, and courtyards. Their double door design brings in natural light, creates a more open feel, and adds character to the room.
Because each set is made to measure, the doors can be designed around your opening and property style. We can create traditional timber French doors with glazing bars and period detailing, or simpler designs with cleaner lines for modern homes and extensions.
Our made to measure French doors can include timber frames, bespoke glazing layouts, secure locking systems, painted or stained finishes, and proportions that suit the property. Whether you’re replacing an existing set of French doors or adding a new feature as part of a renovation, bespoke joinery helps achieve a more polished and long-lasting result.
Made to measure internal bi fold doors can help divide spaces, improve flexibility, and create a more practical layout without compromising on the style of the room. They’re useful for open-plan living areas, dining rooms, home offices, kitchens, snug spaces, and rooms where you want the option to open up or close off the space.
Unlike standard internal doors, bespoke timber bi fold doors can be designed around non-standard openings and existing interior details. We can create solid timber designs, glazed bi fold doors, or styles that match other internal joinery in your home.
For renovations and modern interiors, made to measure internal bi fold doors offer a practical way to improve how the space works. They can be designed with the right number of panels, suitable folding configuration, matching finishes, and carefully chosen ironmongery, helping the doors feel like part of the room rather than an afterthought.
The frame is just as important as the door itself. A new door fitted into an old, damaged, or poorly aligned frame may not perform as well as it should, especially for external entrances where weather protection and security matter.
We can manufacture complete door and frame sets made to fit your property. This is especially useful for older homes, out of square openings, previous unsuitable replacements, or projects where the whole entrance needs to be improved.
A made to measure door and frame set can help achieve better operation, tighter weather protection, improved security, and a more consistent finish. It also allows details such as mouldings, timber profiles, thresholds, and frame depth to be designed together, creating a cleaner and more professional result.
Made to measure doors can be designed to suit almost any property style. For period homes and character properties, we can create traditional timber doors with panelled details, glazing bars, mouldings, and finishes that feel appropriate for the age of the building.
For modern homes, extensions, and architect led renovations, we can produce more contemporary door designs with clean lines, simple panels, larger glazed sections, and refined timber finishes. Painted and stained options are available depending on the look you want to achieve.
Whether the aim is to match existing joinery, reinstate lost character, or create something more modern, a bespoke timber door gives you more control over the final appearance and performance.
Choosing doors made to measure gives you the opportunity to improve fit, appearance, and long-term performance. At GBS Joinery, we combine careful design with skilled timber manufacture and installation support to help you achieve doors that are built around your home.
