About Our Doors

Our doors fit perfectly on the new Sektion and old Akurum (pre-2015) IKEA kitchen systems. We also make doors for IKEA PAX as well as non-IKEA cabinets.

Our doors come in a variety of styles, materials and finishes to suit your specific needs. Our painted doors are finished with high-quality and durable polyurethane paint on a premium MDF core.

 

Our wood doors are made with real wood veneers with solid wood rails and stiles

and a durable clear coat finish.

 

Our laminate doors come in a variety of finishes, such as wood grain and solid

colours (including Supermatte), and are known for their durability, scratch

resistance, and easy maintenance. They are also very cost-effective, versatile

and have great aesthetic appeal.

Yes. Glass insert door frames are only made with 2 1⁄4” stiles due to door hinge

requirements. All of our glass insert door frames come without glass.

Our doors are easy to clean with a damp cloth using a mild, non-abrasive soap. Simply dry immediately after to preserve the finish.

Pricing & Availability

That is a good question, but it’s a bit like comparing apples and oranges.


db Custom Doors uses high-quality materials and finishes to give your project that truly custom look. We offer doors to fit every budget – from cost-effective and highly durable laminates that look and feel like real wood and paint to unique profiles (standard shaker, skinny shaker, stepped-shaker, and more) painted doors that allow you to pick that perfect colour, to real wood veneers and solid wood rail and stile shaker doors to give your project that natural but varied look.

Every year, we look at our door styles, colours and materials to keep up with the latest and most enduring trends.

db Custom Doors prides itself on providing personalized customer service with a single point of contact throughout the ordering process right through to delivery.

We accept Visa, MasterCard or e-transfer. A 50% deposit is required at the time of order, with the balance due at the time of shipping or pick-up.

IKEA makes more kitchen doors than nearly any other company worldwide, and naturally they can do it very cost-effectively. The difference in price is reflected in the choices in high-quality door materials, styles, colours and finishes that db Custom Doors provides.
