What to expect when working with European door systems — from measurement to final installation.
European interior doors are precision-engineered products. Unlike standard U.S. doors, they are designed with tight tolerances, integrated hardware systems, and finishing details that require careful handling and technical knowledge to install correctly. A door that is improperly installed — even slightly out of plumb or with incorrect hardware alignment — will not function as intended and may void the manufacturer’s warranty.
At Bdoors, we supply and install European door systems across South Florida, working with residential clients, architects, contractors, and hospitality projects. Here is what you can expect when working with a professional installation team.
Every installation begins with a professional site measurement. Our team visits the project location and measures every rough opening that will receive a door. We verify dimensions, check for plumb and level conditions, and identify any structural issues that need to be addressed before installation.
This step is critical. Even minor discrepancies between the ordered door size and the actual opening can require adjustments that add time and cost to the project. Professional measurement at the start eliminates most of these issues.
Once measurements are confirmed, we finalize the order with our supplier in Spain. This includes door dimensions, finish selection, hardware specifications, swing direction, and any special configurations such as full-height or flush-to-wall systems.
Lead times for European door systems are typically several weeks from order confirmation to delivery in South Florida. We communicate expected delivery dates clearly so project schedules can be planned accordingly.
When doors arrive, our team inspects every unit before delivery to the project site. We check for any transit damage, verify that finishes and dimensions match the order, and confirm that all hardware components are included.
Doors are delivered to the project site in protective packaging and stored in a climate-controlled environment until installation. This is especially important in Miami, where humidity and temperature fluctuations can affect door materials if they are left unprotected.
Before any door can be installed, the opening must be properly prepared. This includes ensuring the rough opening is plumb, level, and square, and that the subfloor and wall surfaces are ready to receive the door frame. Any remediation work — shimming, patching, or structural adjustments — is completed at this stage.
For flush-to-wall and full-height door systems, additional preparation may be required to ensure the wall finish aligns correctly with the door frame. We coordinate with the general contractor or construction team to ensure this work is completed on schedule.
With openings prepared, our installation team fits each door system. This includes setting the frame, hanging the door, adjusting hinges for perfect alignment, and installing all hardware — handles, locks, flush pulls, and any soft-close or concealed hinge mechanisms.
European door systems are designed so that hardware is integrated seamlessly into the door’s construction. Proper installation ensures smooth operation, correct latching, and the clean aesthetic these systems are known for.
Once all doors are installed, we conduct a final inspection of every unit. We check alignment, hardware function, finish quality, and overall appearance. Any adjustments are made on the spot.
We then walk the client through the installation, demonstrating the operation of each door system and explaining any maintenance recommendations. Our goal is that every client understands what they have and how to care for it.

For a typical residential project with 8 to 12 doors, installation takes one to two days once the openings are prepared. Larger projects such as multifamily buildings or hotels are scheduled in phases coordinated with the construction timeline.
Yes. Rough openings should be plumb, level, and square before installation begins. Our team conducts a site measurement visit in advance and will identify any preparation work needed. We coordinate with your contractor to ensure openings are ready when doors arrive.
European interior doors can be installed in both new construction and renovation projects. In existing homes, the process involves removing the old door and frame and preparing the opening to receive the new system. Our team handles this process regularly across South Florida.
We inspect every door upon arrival before delivery to the project site. If any unit shows transit damage, we address it before installation. In the rare case that damage is discovered on site, we work directly with the supplier to arrange a replacement as quickly as possible.
