Custom Metal-Framed Interior Doors

Custom Metal-Framed Interior Doors in Toronto

Metro Metal Solutions fabricates custom metal-framed interior doors that bring architectural quality and modern design into Toronto homes. Every door is completely custom—built to your exact dimensions, design specifications, and finish preferences. We specialize in reeded glass doors, clear glass doors, and gridded metal frames that transform standard doorways into luxury design elements. Unlike mass-produced doors from big-box stores, each piece is handcrafted with precision welding, high-grade steel, and designer finishes that hold up to daily use.

Reeded Glass Doors—Our Signature Style

Reeded glass doors are one of our most popular products, and for good reason. The vertical ribbed texture of reeded glass obscures visibility while still allowing light to pass through—giving you privacy without making spaces feel closed off or dark. It's the ideal solution for home offices, bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, or any room where you want separation without sacrificing natural light flow.

We build reeded glass doors in any configuration you need—single doors, double doors, sliding barn-style doors, or French door pairs. The metal frame can be minimal and modern with thin profiles, or more substantial with gridded dividers that break up the glass into multiple panes. The reeded glass itself comes in different textures and patterns, so you can choose the level of obscurity and visual interest that works for your space.

Clear Glass Doors for Open, Modern Spaces

Clear glass doors maximize light and maintain visual connection between rooms while still providing physical separation. They're perfect for home offices where you want to see into the rest of the house, dining rooms that open to living areas, or anywhere you want to preserve an open floor plan feeling while still defining different zones.

The metal frame provides structure and architectural presence. We typically use black steel frames for a crisp, modern look, but can also do brushed steel, bronze, or custom powder-coated finishes to match your trim and hardware. The frame can be a simple border around a single large pane, or we can add horizontal and vertical dividers to create a gridded pattern that references traditional French doors with a contemporary twist.

Gridded Designs and Custom Configurations

Gridded metal-frame doors break up the glass into multiple panes, creating visual interest and adding a level of detail that elevates the entire space. The grid pattern can be symmetrical with evenly spaced horizontal and vertical bars, or custom-designed with specific proportions that complement your home's architecture.

Some clients want a classic 6-panel or 8-panel grid. Others prefer a modern asymmetric layout with larger panes at eye level and smaller sections at the top and bottom. We can also combine different glass types within a single door—clear glass in some panes, reeded or frosted glass in others—to create custom privacy zones while maintaining the overall design cohesion.

Single Doors, Double Doors, and Sliding Barn Doors

The door style depends on your space and how you use it. Single swing doors work for most standard applications—bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, offices. They're straightforward to install and operate, and the metal frame gives them a substantial, high-quality feel that standard hollow-core doors can't match.

Double doors (French door style) create a wider opening and make a bigger statement. They're ideal for main floor spaces where you want to separate a living room from a dining area, or close off a den without making it feel isolated. The symmetry of double doors also adds formality and architectural weight to the space.

Sliding barn-style doors work when you don't have clearance for a swing door or when you want the door to be a visible design element even when it's open. We fabricate the door itself and can provide or recommend appropriate barn door hardware that handles the weight of a metal-framed glass door. These are popular for bathrooms, closets, and pantries in modern or industrial-style homes.

Why Custom Interior Doors Beat Mass-Produced Options

Mass-produced interior doors come in standard sizes—80 inches tall, maybe 30 or 36 inches wide—and that's it. If your doorway doesn't match those dimensions, you're either cutting down the door, modifying the frame, or living with gaps and poor fit. Custom doors are built to your exact opening, so they fit perfectly without modification or compromise.

The quality difference is also significant. Mass-produced metal-frame doors use thin aluminum extrusions that bend easily and feel flimsy. The glass is often cheap and poorly installed. The finishes scratch and wear within months. Our doors use heavy-gauge steel, precision-welded joints, high-quality glass, and durable powder-coated or painted finishes that hold up to years of daily use. Here's what you get with custom:

• Perfect Fit: Built to your exact rough opening dimensions, not adapted from standard sizes.
• Structural Integrity: Welded steel frames that don't flex, warp, or feel cheap when you open and close them.
• Glass Quality: Premium glass properly set and sealed within the frame, not rattling or shifting over time.
• Design Flexibility: Choose your glass type, grid pattern, frame width, and finish to match your vision.
• Professional Appearance: Looks like high-end architectural millwork, not something from a home improvement store.

Frame Finishes and Hardware Options

Matte black is the default choice for most clients—it's timeless, modern, and works with virtually any interior design style. We achieve this with powder coating that's durable and resistant to chipping and scratching. For a lighter look, brushed stainless or clear-coated raw steel gives you an industrial aesthetic that pairs well with exposed brick, concrete, and other raw materials.

We can also do custom colors if you want the door frames to match your trim, cabinetry, or a specific design element in your home. Bronze, brass, white, gray—powder coating allows for almost any color in a durable, professional finish.

Hardware matters too. We typically provide the door itself and you source handles, hinges, and locks separately to match your home's existing hardware. But we can also coordinate complete door packages with hardware included if you prefer a turnkey solution.

Installation and Rough Opening Requirements

For new construction or renovations, we need the rough opening dimensions (height, width, and depth) before fabrication. We build the door to fit within that opening with appropriate clearances for operation and adjustment. For retrofit installations in existing door frames, we measure the existing opening and build the door to fit within it.

Installation can be handled by your contractor, a professional door installer, or we can coordinate installation ourselves depending on the project scope and location. The doors are delivered fully assembled and ready to hang—you're not piecing together frames and glass on site. Everything is built, finished, and quality-checked before it leaves our shop.

Where Custom Interior Doors Make the Biggest Impact

Certain locations in a home benefit more from custom doors than others. Home offices are a prime candidate—you want separation from household noise and activity, but you don't want to feel isolated or cut off. A reeded glass door gives you privacy while maintaining visual connection and light flow.

Primary bedroom suites benefit from custom doors between the bedroom and bathroom or closet areas. Clear or reeded glass maintains the open, luxurious feeling of a master suite while still providing functional separation. Basement stairs, laundry rooms, pantries, and mudrooms are also good applications—places where a standard hollow-core door looks cheap, but a solid wood door feels too heavy or traditional.

Design Process and Lead Times

The process starts with accurate measurements. For new construction, your architect or builder provides rough opening dimensions. For existing spaces, we can visit to measure or you can provide dimensions yourself. We'll discuss glass options, grid patterns, frame width, and finish preferences, then provide a detailed quote and timeline.

Standard lead time is 3-5 weeks depending on complexity and quantity. Single doors are faster than double door sets or multiple units. Custom grid patterns or specialty glass types may add time. Rush orders are sometimes possible if you have a hard deadline, but it's best to plan ahead and order early in your construction or renovation schedule.
