Contract Door Programme
As a furniture manufacturer, we produce only the specific doors that belong to the joinery — those built into a wall or integrated into a piece of furniture, finished to match the panelling around them. Mass door production is a different speciality, and for that we work with the right solution partners. So when a hotel corridor is clad in wall panels and doors, we produce the wall panelling, source the fire-rated doorsets from our supplier network, and hand it over as one turn-key solution.

A hotel has more doors than almost any other building of its size, and they are rarely the same door twice. The guest-room entrance has to resist fire and hold sound. The corridor to the stair has to contain smoke. The wall between two rooms has to stop a conversation carrying. The plant room and the back-of-house store need a steel leaf that shrugs off a trolley. The riser in the corridor needs an access door that vanishes into the finish. Buying all of that from separate suppliers is how a project ends up with mismatched finishes, clashing lead times and a door schedule nobody can reconcile.
We make the whole programme. Fire rated, steel, acoustic, wooden and service doors, produced as complete doorsets against your drawings, so the leaf, the frame, the lipping and the prepared ironmongery arrive coordinated and ready to hang. Because one factory runs the schedule, the oak in the guest room matches the oak in the suite, the fire leaves carry the evidence they need, and the consignment lands when the floor is ready for it instead of in six uncoordinated deliveries.
This page covers the full range in one place. Each door type has its own section below — what it is for, how it is built and where it is specified — and the heaviest detail sits where the demand is: fire, steel and acoustic openings account for the bulk of any commercial door schedule, so they carry the deepest treatment here.

From the corridor, a contract door and a domestic one can look identical. After a year of hospitality use they look nothing alike — and that is the whole point.
The difference lives on the inside and at the edges. A commercial door runs on a solid or engineered core rather than a hollow lattice, which gives it the mass to stay flat, to carry a fire or acoustic grade, and to take a closer without sagging. Every exposed edge is protected with a hardwood lipping or a steel return, because the edge is where a luggage trolley, a cleaning cart or a hose reel does its damage first. The face is sealed to survive the chemicals housekeeping uses daily, so it wipes clean instead of going patchy. The frame, the hinges and the lock case are machined to one template, so the hundredth opening on a floor hangs exactly like the first.
A domestic door is specified for a home: light use, no rating, occasional cleaning, one or two of them. Put it on a hotel corridor and it warps, the edge frays, the finish dulls, and within a season it is being replaced room by room with the room out of service while it happens. The cheaper door is almost always the more expensive decision once the replacement cycle and the lost nights are counted.
There is a second, quieter difference: documentation. A hospitality building has to satisfy a fire strategy, an acoustic report, a building inspector and an insurer. A contract door arrives with the evidence those parties need — the rating, the test reference, the schedule that says which leaf went where. A domestic door comes with none of it, and on a commercial project that gap is a liability rather than a saving. It is worth judging a door on how it behaves at year three and year five, what happens when one gets damaged, and whether a rated set keeps its certification after it has been hung, used and cleaned for a season. That is where the two diverge for good.
Find the Door
Start from the job the opening has to do and the selector points you to the right type. Most openings in a hotel are one of these.
Guest-room entrances that have to resist fire, corridor and cross-corridor doors, stair and lobby doors. These are specified to an integrity rating — commonly FD30 or FD60 — with intumescent seals and a self-closer, and supplied with the evidence the inspector and insurer ask for. The largest single requirement on most commercial door schedules.
• FD30 / FD60 integrity rating
• Intumescent and smoke seals
• Self-closing on rated openings
• Certification and test evidence

More openings in a hotel are fire doors than any other single type. They are the part of the door package the building cannot open without.
A fire rated door — a fire door — does one job that everything else depends on: it holds the spread of fire and smoke for a defined time, keeping escape routes usable and compartments intact while people get out and the building empties. In a hotel that means the guest-room entrance, the corridor and cross-corridor doors, the stair and lobby doors, and any opening the fire strategy nominates. The rating is not a feature added for marketing; it is a regulatory requirement the building is signed off against, and the door either meets it with evidence or it does not go in.
Fire doors are classified by the minutes of fire integrity they provide. An FD30 leaf resists fire for thirty minutes and is the common standard for guest-room entrances and most internal compartment doors; an FD60 leaf gives sixty minutes and is specified on higher-risk openings, stairs and where the strategy demands it. Higher grades exist for plant and special areas. The rating governs the build — a thirty-minute leaf and a sixty-minute leaf are not the same door with a different label — so it has to come from the fire strategy before the door is priced, not chosen afterward.
Performance comes from the parts the guest never sees. A dense fire-resisting core carries the integrity; intumescent seals set into the leaf or frame swell when they heat, sealing the gap around the door as it expands; cold-smoke brushes stop smoke passing in the early minutes before the intumescent activates. The leaf hangs on fire-rated hinges, closes on a self-closer that returns it to the frame every time, and is hung in a frame tested as part of the same set. Glazed apertures, where the design calls for them, use fire-rated glass and beads that belong to the certified assembly. Change any of those parts on site and the certification is void — which is why we supply the leaf, the frame and the seals as one tested doorset.
A fire door does not have to look like one. The same FD30 leaf can wear an oak or walnut veneer, a laminate or a painted finish, so an internal fire door on a guest corridor reads as joinery while doing a compliance job behind the face. This is where the fire requirement and the guest-room finish meet: most guest-room entrance doors are both fire-rated and finished to the room scheme, and we build them as a single specified leaf rather than two competing ones.
The fire strategy does not end at compartment doors; it ends at the way out. Fire exit doors and emergency exit doors sit on the escape route and the final exit, and they carry a different priority: they have to open instantly under a crowd. That means panic hardware — a push bar or touch bar that releases the latch when pushed — and a leaf that opens in the direction of escape so a press of bodies forces it open rather than jamming it shut. Many of these doors are fire-rated as well, because the escape route has to resist fire while it stays passable. An emergency exit door is specified to the egress strategy: where it is, which way it swings, what hardware it carries, and whether it also needs an integrity rating. We build the exit and escape doors to that strategy and prepare them for the panic hardware and any alarm or hold-open the system requires.
ONE RULE THAT SAVES PROJECTS
A finish never equals a rating. An oak leaf is not automatically a fire door; a fire door is not automatically acoustic. Each grade is certified separately and must come with the correct core, seal package and supporting evidence. Confirm the ratings from the fire strategy before sign-off, and the doors get built to match.
Where an opening takes force, weather or a security risk, a steel door does what a timber leaf cannot.
Steel doors and metal doors are the workhorses of the building's harder openings. A hollow metal leaf — a steel skin over a rigid core, hung in a steel frame — resists impact, holds its line under a heavy closer, takes weather on an external face and stands up to the daily punishment of a service route that would dent and split a timber door within a season. On a hospitality project that puts steel on the external entrances, the plant and service rooms, the stores, the loading and refuse routes, and the back-of-house circulation where trolleys and equipment move all day.
The leaf is formed from galvanised or coated steel sheet over an internal stiffening and an insulating or fire-resisting core, depending on what the opening has to do. The frame is steel, welded or knock-down, fixed to the structural opening and machined for the hinges, lock and closer. Faces are powder-coated or primed for site decoration, and a steel leaf can carry a vision panel, a louvre for plant ventilation, or a glazed aperture where staff need to see through. The same construction underpins external entrance doors, internal heavy-traffic doors and the fire-rated steel openings on plant and risers.
Some openings have to resist a deliberate attempt to get through, not just the wear of use. Steel security doors add reinforcement to the leaf and frame, heavier hinges, anti-jemmy detailing and a lock case specified to the risk, turning the opening into a barrier for stores, cash rooms, server and plant rooms and external doors that face an exposed elevation. The level of resistance is matched to what the door protects rather than over-specified across the board, so the security spend lands where it earns its place.
The choice between a steel and a timber leaf comes down to what the opening faces. Anywhere there is weather, impact, a security requirement or a wet and dirty service environment, steel is the lower lifetime cost because it does not absorb the abuse. Guest-facing openings stay timber for warmth and finish; the building behind them runs on steel.
A guest who can hear the corridor or the next room writes the review nobody wants. The door is usually the weakest point in the wall.
A wall can be built to a high sound specification and still fail if the door in it leaks noise, and the door is almost always the weakest link between a guest room and the corridor. A sound proof acoustic door — a sound insulated, noise-proof, sound-resistant door, however the specification words it — is engineered to close that gap. It is specified to a sound-reduction rating and built so that the leaf, the seals and the threshold all work together, because a single open path around the door undoes the rating of everything else.
Acoustic performance is a number, not an adjective. A door is specified to a sound-reduction rating measured in decibels, and the higher the figure the more it cuts the noise passing through. The right target comes from the acoustic report for the building — a city-centre hotel beside a road needs more than a quiet resort wing — and the door is built to hit it. Quoting "soundproof" without a rating is meaningless; we work to the figure your acoustician sets.
Mass and sealing do the work. A dense, sealed core gives the leaf the weight to resist sound transmission; perimeter seals close the gap down the sides and head; and a drop seal — an automatic seal that lowers onto the floor as the door closes — shuts the gap at the threshold, which is where most acoustic doors leak. Heavier ratings combine these with a thicker leaf and twin seals. The detailing is the difference between a door that meets its rating on paper and one that meets it in the room.
Many guest-room entrances have to be both fire-rated and acoustic at once, and the two requirements are met in one leaf. The core and seals are chosen to satisfy the fire integrity and the sound reduction together, each certified on its own terms, so the guest-room door is quiet, compliant and finished to the room — a single specified set rather than a compromise between three competing doors.
The door the guest actually touches. It has to look like joinery and behave like equipment.
Wooden hotel doors are the most-handled joinery item in any guest room, and the largest count of timber openings in the building — guest-room entrances, bathroom and connecting doors, suite and corridor doors, internal timber doors throughout the public and private areas. They frame the first impression in the corridor and they take the slams, trolley knocks and housekeeping cycles of commercial occupancy, so they are built as contract leaves, not domestic ones.
The leaf is built on a solid or engineered core for mass and stability, faced in a natural veneer — oak, walnut, ash, sapele — or a hard-wearing laminate, and protected on every edge with a solid hardwood lipping that takes the knocks and keeps the leaf looking new. The face is sealed with a commercial lacquer that survives housekeeping chemicals. Where the opening also needs a rating, the same timber leaf is built as an internal fire door or an acoustic door without changing the face the guest sees.
Because we also manufacture the wardrobes, headboards and case goods, the door face is matched to the rest of the guest-room joinery so the room reads as one designed scheme. Sample leaves and finish boards are produced for sign-off before any run. The result is consistency across the floor: the same gap line, the same swing and the same closing action at every opening.
Engineering needs to reach the services. The corridor needs to stay clean and rated. These doors do both.
Every hotel corridor hides a run of risers and ducts carrying water, power, data and ventilation, and each needs an access door for maintenance. A hotel shaft door — a riser door, a duct access door, a fire-rated access panel — gives engineering that reach while staying flush against the corridor finish and holding the fire rating the shaft requires. Done well, it reads as part of the wall rather than as a hatch, which matters in a guest corridor where every visible service door cheapens the finish.
Because risers penetrate fire compartments, most of these openings are fire-rated access doors built to the same integrity standard as the compartment around them, with the seals and closer to match. They are sized to the access the services actually need, finished to disappear into the wall, and prepared for the lock or latch that keeps them secure between maintenance visits. It is a niche line by volume, but on a real building it is the difference between a corridor that looks finished and one that looks like a plant room.
A door is only as good as the frame it hangs in and the ironmongery that works it, so we produce complete doorsets — leaf, frame and prepared hardware positions — to a single template per opening type. That is what keeps a floor consistent and what protects a rated set: a fire or acoustic doorset keeps its certification because the leaf, frame and seals were tested and built together and nothing was modified on site.
Frames & Linings
Timber or steel frames with integral stops, machined for the hinges, lock case, closer and any spyhole or room-number plate. Supplied finished to match the leaf or primed for site decoration.
Hinges & Closers
Hinges sized to the leaf weight and cycle count; concealed or surface closers where the door must self-close — essential on rated openings and chosen so housekeeping moves through without a fight.
Locks & Access Control
Lock mortice machined to the specified case. Where the property runs key-card or RFID access control, we prepare the leaf for the reader and lock body so the access-control vendor drops the hardware straight in.
Seals, Thresholds & Signage
Intumescent and smoke seals on fire openings, perimeter and drop seals on acoustic openings, panic hardware on exit doors, and spyhole, room-number and signage positions cut on the same jig as the rest of the floor.
The programme was developed for hotels, and the same contract standards carry across the wider commercial building.
Full guest-floor door schedules — fire, acoustic, finished and prepared — coordinated with the room joinery across new-build and refurbishment.
Guest-room, connecting and bathroom doors for extended-stay formats, matched to the rest of the apartment fit-out.
Front-of-house and kitchen openings, including heavy-traffic service doors between dining and back-of-house.
Internal, fire and acoustic doors for workplace fit-outs where the same contract performance applies.
Durable, hygienic and rated openings for clinics, care and institutional buildings with demanding compliance.
Phased and prefabricated projects where doorsets are shipped to follow the construction sequence on site.
We are a manufacturer, not a local installer, and the process reflects that. An order starts from your door schedule and drawings — the list of every opening with its size, handing, rating and finish — and ends with a coordinated consignment on its way to your port. Thirty years of producing for hospitality projects means the process is built to handle the things that derail door packages: ratings that arrive late, finishes that have to match across categories, and floors that come on line at different times.
Schedule & Spec
You send the schedule, quantities, ratings and finishes. We return a specification per opening type and direct factory pricing — a real, project-based quotation rather than a list price. Two attributes settle early: the rating, which comes from the fire and acoustic reports, and the handing, which decides which way each leaf swings.
Samples & Sign-Off
Sample leaves and finish boards are produced for approval before any run, so veneer, colour and detailing are agreed on a physical sample, coordinated with the wider FF&E package, not on a screen.
Manufacture & QC
Production runs to one template per opening type, leaves, frames and hardware preparation coordinated, rated sets built and documented to grade. Lead times generally fall in a four to eight week window depending on quantity, grade and finish.
Shipping & Spares
We ship worldwide FOB or CIF from Istanbul, in one consignment or phased to follow your floors, larger schedules across several containers. A small order of attic stock — spare leaves and finish boards — lets the operator swap a damaged door for an exact match years later.
Handling the whole door package through one manufacturer means one party is accountable for the openings arriving correct, coordinated and on time, and one number to call when a question comes up on site. That single line of responsibility, more than any individual specification, is what keeps a door package off a project's snag list.

Questions
The full contract programme on one schedule: fire rated doors, steel and hollow metal doors including security builds, sound proof acoustic doors, fire exit and emergency egress doors, wooden hotel and internal doors, and riser or shaft access doors. All are supplied as complete doorsets — leaf, frame and prepared ironmongery — made to your door schedule.
The number is the minutes of fire integrity. An FD30 leaf resists fire for thirty minutes and is the common standard for guest-room entrances and most internal compartment doors; an FD60 leaf gives sixty minutes for higher-risk openings and stairs. They are different builds, not the same door relabelled, so the rating must come from the fire strategy before pricing.
Yes, and many guest-room entrances must be. The face and finish stay the same while the core, seals and ironmongery are chosen to meet both the fire integrity and the sound-reduction rating, each certified separately to the fire strategy and the acoustic report.
Emergency exit and escape-route doors carry panic hardware — a push or touch bar that releases the latch under pressure — and open in the direction of escape. Many are fire-rated as well, since the escape route has to resist fire while staying usable. We build them to the egress strategy and prepare for any alarm or hold-open the system requires.
Wherever the opening faces weather, impact, a security risk or a wet, dirty service environment — external entrances, plant and service rooms, stores and back-of-house circulation. A hollow metal leaf and frame takes abuse a timber door cannot, at a lower lifetime cost. Guest-facing openings stay timber for warmth and finish.
As a sound-reduction rating in decibels, set by the acoustic report for the building. The door hits that figure through a dense sealed core, perimeter seals and a drop seal at the threshold. "Soundproof" without a rating is meaningless — we build to the number your acoustician specifies.
