Custom Front Doors Built to Your Opening
Aluminum entrance doors made to your opening, not pulled off a shelf.
What a Custom Front Door Means From a Factory
A custom front door starts with a number you take off the wall: the rough opening. Width at the bottom, middle and top, height at both jambs, then the smallest of each. That's the number the door gets built around. WANJIA Hiseng builds aluminum entrance doors in Foshan, and every order is made to the opening on your drawing, not picked from a stock list. Single doors, double doors, sidelight combinations and pivot doors all come out of the same shop.
Most of what you see online is a retailer selling finished doors in fixed sizes with a published price. That works until the opening is 1 in off, or the wall is brick and the trim has to die into a reveal. A factory order flips the sequence. You send the opening, the swing, the glass and the finish, and the door arrives sized for the hole. It takes longer. It also means you don't frame a new wall around whatever the warehouse had that week.
This page is for builders, dealers, architects and homeowners who want to know how a custom front door actually gets specified, quoted and shipped. If you're comparing aluminum against wood or fiberglass, our material comparison covers the trade-offs. If you already know you want aluminum, read on.
What You Can Specify
Four decisions shape most custom front door orders.
Door Format
Single, double, sidelight combination or pivot. Double doors refer to the K80 large entrance aluminum double casement doors. Pivot doors swing on a floor and head pivot rather than side hinges, which lets you hang a wide leaf without a visible frame.
Glass and Lite Pattern
Laminated, Low-E, frosted or mirrored glass. Full-lite, partial-lite, or glass in the sidelights and transom only. Frosted and mirrored handle privacy on a street-facing entry; Low-E cuts solar gain on west-facing doors.
Finish and Color
Fluorocarbon coating, wood-grain transfer, anodizing or powder coating. Wood-grain transfer reads like a stained door from ten feet without the refinishing schedule. Anodizing and fluorocarbon hold up in coastal air where paint fails first.
Hardware and Entry
Multi-point locking, hydraulic door closers and multiple sealing strips come standard on the format. Hardware can be fitted from Kinlong, Hoppe, CMECH, VBH and G-U. Smart entry options include fingerprint, password, card access, remote unlock and app integration.

View detailsHow a Custom Door Order Actually Runs
It starts with your drawing or a measured sketch. Send the rough opening, wall construction, swing direction, hinge side, glass preference, finish and hardware. If you have an elevation, send that too. Our team quotes within 3 hours on average once the details are in hand. From there the order goes to production, usually 25-30 business days depending on the design, materials and order volume. Doors ship in wooden box and wooden frame packing, with a tracking number sent after shipment.
On arrival, you get installation videos and written guidance, plus remote assistance from the technical team until the project is finished. If you're weighing materials, our aluminum vs steel vs wood comparison is a fair place to start. One thing worth saying plainly: ask any supplier for the door's ratings on the label, the hardware brand and model, the glass build-up, and the warranty terms in writing. Those four items tell you more than a showroom finish does.
Questions buyers ask
How much does a new custom front door cost?
There's no honest single number. Size, door format, glass build-up, hardware, finish and smart entry options all move the figure, and a pivot door with a wide leaf prices differently from a single door with a sidelight. Ask any supplier to break the quote into frame, glass, hardware and finish so you can compare line by line. Get a Quote and we'll price your specific opening and specification.
Do retailers offer custom size doors?
We can't speak for any retailer's program. What matters is what the door is built around. Ask whether the door is made to your rough opening or selected from stock sizes, what the finished unit size will be against that opening, and who handles the sizing if the opening is out of square. A factory order starts from your measurement.
What is the difference between a custom front door and a stock door?
A stock door comes in fixed sizes and you adjust the opening or the trim to fit it. A custom front door is built to the opening you have, in the format, glass, finish and hardware you specify. That matters most on older homes, brick walls and wide entries where a stock size simply won't close the gap cleanly.
Can I get custom front doors with glass in cold or coastal climates?
Yes. Laminated and Low-E glass options are available, and the aluminum frame with a thermal break handles temperature swing better than an unbroken frame. In coastal air, anodizing or fluorocarbon coating holds up where paint fails. Tell us the climate and orientation and we'll suggest a glass and finish combination that suits it.
