The doors manufacturing sector in India is a highly unorganized one, with a number of manufacturers creating and pitching one-size-fits-all solutions to consumers without understanding the unique customer requirements. Within tier-1 cities such as Mumbai, Pune, and Bangalore, where real-estate development is in full swing, this poses a challenge as real-estate developers require specific kinds of products that align with the governmentally mandated norms such as fire safety regulations. As norms become stricter, the demand for high-quality and regulation-compiled products is increasing.
However, consumers, particularly real-estate developers face challenges in terms of procuring the products on time, in the expected quantity and quality. Although several big manufacturers take on large manufacturing jobs, the capacity to produce varies, leading to delays in deliveries, and inconsistent quality of products, causing real-estate developers to face delays in project completion. Addressing these issues, the Mumbai-based Bombay Door Company takes on a transparent approach to manufacturing, establishing clear expectations on delivery quantity and timeline, as per its capacity, without compromising on product quality.
High-Quality Doors
Established in 2015, Bombay Doors is a leading manufacturer of high-quality doors designed with the purpose of achieving utmost customer satisfaction, through the product, as well as the accompanying services provided. With a beautiful range of options consisting of fiber reinforced polymer doors, pvc doors, wooden flush doors, wooden fire retardant doors, ABS doors, UPVC doors and windows, WPC doors, metal fire retardant doors, FRP security cabins, FRP shade window, and several other products in its portfolio, the company provides comprehensive solutions to fulfill the unique requirements of its diverse clientele.
Dedicated to its mission to design and develop high-quality doors that meet or exceed industry standards, the company undertakes a very intensive process which starts with meticulously selecting the right raw materials, ensuring that they are durable, and suitable to meet the requirements of the clients. Thereafter, the company follows comprehensive precision manufacturing processes to shape each door impeccably as per the pre-defined parameters provided by clients, ensuring that the doors fit perfectly in every structure. Comprehensive quality control measures follow next, designed to ensure that every door meets the highest standards of quality, performance, and reliability, standing up to the Bombay Doors’ benchmark of excellence.
The company’s focus on developing the best products in the market starts with procuring seasoned wood from Gujarat, ensuring that the wood that is received is dried, with lower than fifteen percent moisture content, which helps enhance the product quality. Apart from this, the firm’s wood cutting process is conducted with utmost precision to ensure the thickness of the wood is exactly as much as is required, the wood gets calibrated before and after the cutting, ensuring that the surface is even, there are no undulations, post which the laminate is pressed. Once these procedures are completed, the doors are inspected once again, before being sent for packaging.
To achieve the exemplary results that the company is known for, it not only leverages the expertise and knowledge of the seasoned professionals that oversee the manufacturing processes, but also collaborates closely with clients, ensuring their every requirement is understood and followed to the letter.

This new facility is expected to boost the company’s capabilities by leaps and bounds, offering it the capacity to manufacture over five hundred doors every day.
The new facility is planned to be completely mechanized, which is expected to continue scaling as the demand for high-quality doors continues to grow. In addition to the equipment, the firm is also manned with over twenty workers who are solely responsible for cutting the wood into different sections (based on the thickness requirements). The firm also possesses a dedicated team for door pressing by using a hot press machine, which presses the wood to get it ready for the laminate pressing.
With the support of its team of workers at every level, and by leveraging the sophisticated machinery it is equipped with, the company creates products which come with a five year warranty on all its windows and doors, aligned with the basic RERA rules.
