(02)About 182

Designed, built
& installed by one team.

182 Universal Doors designs, builds and installs custom doors for homeowners, architects and builders across the United States, with an installation team based in South Florida that travels to your project.

You bring the opening and the idea. We handle everything else: drawings, materials, joinery, hardware, finishing, freight and installation. There's no showroom and there are no catalog sizes. Each door is made once, for you, and built to be the first thing people remember about your home.

Designs to start from.

Your options are unlimited. These are just starting points, from hand-carved timber to custom steel, bronze and iron. Every design is reshaped around your opening, or bring us an idea and we'll design it from scratch.

    (06)FAQ

    Good questions.

    Commissioning a custom door is new for most people. Here's what clients usually ask first. Anything else, just ask us.

    Ask a question
    Do you work with clients across the United States?

    Yes. We freight our doors anywhere in the United States, so wherever your project is, your door can get there.

    How long does a custom door take?

    Every door is built to its own specifications, so lead times vary. Most doors are completed in 8–10 weeks, while larger or more complex designs can take up to 16 weeks. We confirm your timeline in your proposal.

    What does a custom door cost?

    Every custom door is different, so pricing depends on its specifications: size, materials, glass, hardware and finish. Share your plans and we'll prepare a detailed proposal for your project.

    How is shipping handled?

    When our team installs, we manage delivery from start to finish. If your own installers are handling the job, every door is clearly labeled before it ships, so everything is organized and easy to install the moment it arrives on site.

    Who installs the door?

    Our installation team is based in South Florida and travels to projects to install our doors. Prefer to use your own installer? We'll ship your doors fully labeled and ready for their team.
