Custom doors

Attention to detail is at the heart of every Longden project.

Longden’s experts work closely with all those involved in the specification of custom interior doors and doorsets to establish the best approach to your project. Whether it be restoration, conservation, adaptation of historic and commercial buildings or a new build, our custom doors give you complete freedom with all designs.

As a truly bespoke joinery specialist, Longden is uniquely placed with its exceptional background in traditional craftsmanship supported by the resources and modern techniques of Leaderflush Shapland, the UK’s leading performance doorset manufacturer.

All Longden timber custom interior doors and doorsets are manufactured individually to order, allowing complete design freedom and the capability to perfectly match existing doors or to give complete individuality to a new project.

Capability
With over 400 doors and doorsets manufactured every month, Longden is a major contender in the solid timber door market. This is underlined by the extensive product portfolio which includes panelled doors, both raised and fielded and flat panel, as well as boarded, stable, bi-folding and sliding doors.

Support
Technical expertise is available at all stages of the specification and procurement process. At Longden, we also recognise the skills needed to install doorsets correctly and, as such, can offer assistance on the latest techniques to help installers.

Sustainability
Longden shares its customers’ concern for sustaining the earth’s resources. We have developed an Environmental Management System in accordance with BS EN ISO 14001:2004, based on an environmental policy of sustainability and reduction of carbon emissions. Doors and doorsets from Longden can be specified using solid timber and timber based raw materials approved by FSC and exclusively from well-managed and sustainable sources.

Certification
All our doors and doorsets are fully certified to recognised performance standards. The company is accredited to BS EN ISO 9001:2000. All fire resisting products are manufactured under the intensive BWF-CERTIFIRE Independent Product Conformity Scheme. Every fire door or doorset carries a tamper evident and fully traceable label with clear, essential information.

Innovation
Continuing product development and an exhaustive performance testing programme enable us to offer a wide scope of certified doorsets. In addition to regular performance testing by UKAS accredited independent bodies, our in-house test facility allows continuous product development and quality assurance checks. Our test facilities include a furnace for full size doorsets and cyclic testing rigs, as well as equipment for assessing mechanical properties and security performance. But this innovative approach is also applied to customer service and procurement initiatives to meet the challenges of today’s construction industry.
