Made-to-measure internal doors
How do made-to-measure internal doors differ from bespoke?
Unlike standard doors, which can mean poor door placement and dictate the scope of a design, our made-to-measure internal doors are handcrafted to align seamlessly with your home’s dimensions and overall project – both aesthetically and technically. Whether you’re designing for spatial impact with extra-tall doorways, or seeking the drama and flexibility of made-to-measure internal bifold doors for an open-plan scheme, every detail is tailored to your specific architectural needs.
While bespoke design seeks to set striking visions apart aesthetically, made-to-measure is about tailoring your door to fit – ensuring dimensions are exactly right, offering both aesthetic fluidity and functional excellence to help you get the most out of the experience of living in your dream home. But not all made-to-measure doors are equal.
At Deuren, we not only craft every internal door to your precise measurements, for flawless integration into even the most ambitious projects. We also work alongside your project team from the outset, ensuring our doors are seamlessly incorporated into the design process, with a focus on quality and detail at every stage. Made in the UK, we offer an exceptional customer experience, leaving nothing to chance and ensuring your made-to-measure internal doors not only fit perfectly but elevate your space for years to come.
To truly understand the endless possibilities for your space, visit our workshop and showroom, where you can discuss your made-to-measure and bespoke options with our experts. We’ll help you explore how our doors can elevate your design, ensuring every detail is crafted to perfection.
The ultimate in custom-fit precision
Standard isn’t our standard. Every Deuren door is crafted to fit your vision perfectly, rather than forcing you to compromise your design to accommodate a standard door. Whether it’s a striking floor-to-ceiling design, a wall-to-wall bi-fold, or a stunning traditional single-leaf, we handcraft doors that unlock the full potential of your space.
So, whether your project calls for something taller, wider, smaller, or narrower, you can access precision-engineered sizing that doesn’t get in the way of your architectural ambition, while keeping premium quality front and centre. We do things the right way around, so you can focus on the bigger picture, while we ensure your doors work just as hard as the rest of the home. That’s the beauty of made-to-measure internal doors by Deuren.

Design without confines
The size and layout of your space shouldn’t restrict your ambition, it should enhance it.

Made to measure FAQs
From cost queries to logistical challenges, read expert answers to our most frequently asked questions about internal made-to-measure doors.
Are made-to-measure internal doors more expensive?
As with anything custom-made, made-to-measure doors come at a higher cost than standard, off-the-shelf solutions. However, this is a reflection of the expert craftsmanship, premium materials, and precision-engineered fit that go hand-in-hand with such a service. Plus, with Deuren, you can go beyond made-to-measure and opt for fully bespoke doors without any additional bespoking fees. Since every door we make is crafted individually, the only extra costs you might incur would be associated with more expensive materials, hardware, or additional hand-finishing when required. These options are always discussed transparently as part of the design process, ensuring you have full control over both the aesthetic and budget of your project.
How do you measure internal doors?
To craft a made-to-measure internal door that fits flawlessly into your exact openings, we require the structural opening width, height, and thickness of the wall. Our skilled engineers will check this personally on-site for you before the manufacturing process begins, but estimated measurements are sufficient for an initial quote.
With extensive experience in the self-build market, we know the self-builder’s journey inside and out – from securing planning permission and managing budgets to coordinating with architects and contractors and bringing your vision to life with finishing touches. So, if you need help understanding your options, navigating the process, or simply want to pick our brains about your project overall, get in touch. The earlier you speak with us, the more flexibility, and better outcomes, you and your architect will have.
What is the perfect gap above and below internal doors?
For optimal functionality and adequate ventilation, the gap between the underside of an internal door and an unfinished floor should range between 10mm and 22mm. The gap between the door and the frame at the top and sides should be no more than 4mm.
Is there a maximum width and height for internal doors?
Seeking a made-to-measure internal French door that’s wider than the standard? Or perhaps an ultra-tall full-height model for an entrance even grander than usual? With our manufacturing capabilities, you can create a statement focal point up to three metres in height, depending on the configuration. Plus, with customisable door frame depths of up to 0.6m, we can help you achieve the perfect look for your period renovation, too.
What are the benefits of made to measure doors?
Made-to-measure internal doors create openings that are perfectly proportioned to your property – maximising functionality, enhancing aesthetics, and creating illusions that reflect your individual style and tastes. For example, angled head doors are ideal for making the most out of under-stair storage, while full-height doors can create the impression of a grander space.
