Custom Door Fabrication in Switzerland
We design, manufacture, and install your custom doors in steel, aluminum, 316L stainless steel, and Corten steel. Our workshop is in Yverdon-les-Bains, and we operate throughout French-speaking Switzerland – Geneva, Vaud, Valais, Fribourg, Neuchâtel.
Your Custom Door, From Concept to Installation
Choosing a custom-built door in Switzerland means opting for artisanal craftsmanship and industrial precision. At Forgéa, every door is unique: designed with you, manufactured in our Yverdon-les-Bains workshop, then installed by our own teams.
We work with powder-coated steel, aluminum, 316L stainless steel, and Corten steel to create doors that last for decades. Whether it's a designer entrance door, a minimalist interior door, a motorized garage door, or a fire-rated door for an industrial building, we adapt the material, dimensions, finish, and options to your project. All our constructions comply with Swiss standards SIA 358, SIA 260, and European standards EN 14351-1 and EN 1627-1630.

FAQ
How much does it cost to build a custom door in Switzerland?
The price of a custom door varies from "Quote on request" for a simple aluminum interior door to over "Quote on request" for a premium 316L stainless steel entrance door with laminated glazing. The price depends on the material, dimensions, opening type, finishes, and options (motorization, armor, fire rating). Our quote is free and detailed within 24 hours.
What is the manufacturing lead time for a custom door?
The standard lead time is 3 to 5 weeks from the quote validation for most residential doors. Complex projects (armored door, fire-rated, large dimensions) may require 6 to 8 weeks. We always meet our deadlines – it's a contractual commitment.
