Factory-Direct OEM & ODM Door Programs
Your spec, your brand, built on our floor. 15 engineers handle design-to-production in-house. Free 3D rendering before you commit. MOQ from 50 units for standard models, 100 units for custom designs.
OEM vs ODM: Two Models, One Factory
Most buyers come to us knowing roughly what they want but unsure which collaboration model fits their situation. Here's how we draw the line.
You Own the Design
You send us drawings, specs, or a physical sample — we review it for manufacturability, flag anything that will cause production problems, and build to your specification. Your brand goes on the door, your packaging, your label.
We're the production arm; you control the product identity. This model suits buyers who already have a product line defined and need a factory that can execute it without interpretation errors.

Start From Our Designs
We have a catalog of door configurations — panel profiles, frame systems, hardware packages — that have already been engineered, tooled, and run in production. You select a base design, apply your brand, and we can adjust dimensions, colors, and hardware within the design's parameters.
Time to market is faster because the engineering work is already done. This model suits buyers entering a new door category who want a proven product without building a design team.

In Practice: Most Projects Sit Between the Two
A buyer might start with one of our ODM base designs and then push us to modify the panel profile, change the frame depth, or add a specific lock prep — that's still manageable within our engineering process. The line between OEM and ODM is less important than the question: what do you need changed, and what can stay standard? We'll tell you honestly what's feasible and what adds cost.
What We Can Customize — and Where the Limits Are
Vague "full customization" claims from factories are a red flag. Here's what we actually do, dimension by dimension.
Dimensions and Configuration
Door leaf dimensions are fully customizable within our press brake and roll-forming capacity. Standard production runs cover widths from 700mm to 1200mm and heights from 2000mm to 2400mm for single-leaf doors; double-leaf configurations go wider.
Outside those ranges, we can discuss tooling adjustments — but lead time and cost change. Frame depth is adjustable from 90mm to 200mm to accommodate different wall constructions, which matters when you're supplying projects across multiple building types.
Steel Gauge and Core Material
Standard body panels run 1.0–1.2mm SPCC cold-rolled steel. For security door programs, we move to 1.5mm gauge with internal reinforcement channels — the difference is meaningful for buyers targeting high-abuse commercial environments where warranty claims on dented panels are a real cost.
Fire door cores use mineral wool or vermiculite board depending on the fire rating required; we don't substitute materials to hit a lower price point because the certification consequences aren't worth it.
Surface Finish and Color
The automated powder coating line runs 60+ standard colors with a 60–80μm film thickness. RAL color matching is available for OEM programs — if your brand standard calls for a specific RAL code, we can dial it in.
Texture options include smooth, fine texture, and sand texture. For buyers targeting coastal or high-humidity markets, we can specify a primer coat under the powder for additional corrosion protection.
Hardware and Lock Prep
We pre-install hardware at the factory — hinges, locks, closers, panic bars, electromagnetic releases — so your downstream customer or installer receives a complete, ready-to-hang assembly. Lock prep can be specified to your preferred lock brand's backset and bore dimensions.
For fire door programs, hardware selection is constrained by the certification requirements: the hinge count, closer specification, and intumescent seal placement are dictated by the test standard, not by preference. We'll flag any hardware request that would compromise the fire rating before it becomes a problem.
Packaging and Labeling
KD flat-pack is standard — door leaf, frame, and hardware packed separately in reinforced cartons. For OEM programs, carton printing with your brand, product codes, and market-specific compliance markings is included. We can also produce installation instruction inserts in your required language.
Pre-hung assemblies ship in foam-lined crates with corner protection on the frame.

The R&D Team Behind Your Custom Project
We run a 15-engineer in-house R&D team covering structural design, hardware integration, and custom project development. These aren't salespeople with CAD access — they're the people who decide whether a design is manufacturable, where the weld sequence needs to change to hold a tighter tolerance, and how a new panel profile will behave through the powder coating line.
When you send us a spec, it goes to this team first, not to a sales coordinator who forwards it to someone else.
"We've had buyers come to us with designs from their own architects that had frame-to-leaf clearance specs that would have caused binding in the field — we flagged it in the review stage, proposed a 2mm adjustment, and the buyer approved it before a single piece of steel was cut."
— EUWOO Engineering Review Process
That kind of feedback loop only works when the engineering team is in-house and has direct access to the production floor. The practical consequence for your project: we catch problems before tooling, not after.
Submit Your Spec
Send us your target spec, a reference product, or even a rough sketch. Our engineers review it for manufacturability and cost — no charge for that work.
3D Rendering + Quote
We come back with a 3D rendering and a detailed quote. Both sides get a clear picture before anyone commits to tooling or samples.
First Sample in 15–20 Days
Lead time from spec submission to first sample is typically 15–20 working days depending on complexity. Heavily modified designs with new tooling run longer — we'll tell you upfront.
MOQ, Lead Times, and What Affects Both
Production lead times run from deposit or sample approval confirmation — they don't include ocean freight. All lead times are subject to current line loading at the time of order; we'll confirm the actual schedule when we receive your deposit.
| Order Type | MOQ | Typical Production Lead Time |
|---|---|---|
| Standard catalog models | 50 units | 25–35 days from deposit |
| Custom color / hardware variation | 100 units | 30–40 days from sample approval |
| Full custom OEM (new profile/tooling) | 100 units | 40–55 days from sample approval |
| ODM base design with minor mods | 100 units | 30–45 days from sample approval |
What Pushes Lead Time Longer
-
New tooling requirements — custom profiles that require new dies or jigs add time before production can begin.
-
Multi-SKU orders — different configurations running on different lines extend the overall schedule.
-
Peak season (Q3–Q4) — when North American and European buyers are stocking for year-end projects, line loading is highest.
If your timeline is tight, tell us early — we can sometimes prioritize a run if we have line availability, but we won't promise what we can't deliver.
Why the 50-Unit MOQ Exists
The 50-unit MOQ on standard models exists because below that, the line setup cost per unit becomes disproportionate. For buyers testing a new market or validating a product with their customers, 50 units is a workable trial quantity.
We see a lot of first orders in the 50–150 unit range from distributors entering a new door category — it's a reasonable way to test sell-through before committing to a full container program.

IP Protection: NDA, Mold Ownership, and Design Confidentiality
Brand owners ask about this more than any other topic in OEM discussions, and the concern is legitimate. Here's how we handle it.
NDA Before Design Review
We sign NDAs before any design review. If you're sending us proprietary drawings, panel profiles, or hardware specifications, the NDA is in place before those files leave your hands. We use a standard bilateral NDA that covers design files, tooling specifications, and production data — if you have your own NDA template, we'll review it.
Tooling Ownership
Tooling paid for by the buyer belongs to the buyer. We maintain it in our facility for the duration of the program, but if you move production or the program ends, the tooling is yours. We document tooling ownership in the purchase agreement, not just in a side conversation.
Design File Confidentiality
CAD drawings, 3D models, and panel profile specifications are treated as confidential and are not shared with other customers or used as the basis for catalog products. We don't run a buyer's custom profile as a standard offering under a different name. (We've been asked to do this. We don't.)
Third-Party Audit Option
For buyers who want additional assurance, we can arrange factory audits through SGS or other third-party auditors. The audit scope can include a review of our document control and confidentiality procedures.
A Typical OEM Collaboration: How It Runs
This is a representative scenario based on how most of our OEM programs develop — not a specific client, but a realistic picture of the process. A distributor in the Gulf region came to us with a fire door program they were building for a hotel chain project. They had a spec sheet from the project architect and a target price point, but no existing supplier relationship for fire-rated steel doors.

Requirements Review & 3D Rendering
Our engineers reviewed the architect's spec, identified that the specified frame depth was non-standard for the wall construction type in the drawings, and proposed an adjustment. We delivered a 3D rendering of the revised design and a detailed quote within 10 working days.
3–4
Sample Production
After spec approval, we produced two sample sets — one for the buyer's review and one for the project architect's sign-off. Samples shipped via air freight.
5–6
Sample Approval & Production Confirmation
The architect requested one hardware change (a different panic bar model). We updated the sample, confirmed the revised hardware met NFPA 80 requirements, and received final approval.
7–14
Mass Production & QC
Full production run with 100% pre-shipment inspection. Every door test-fitted with its frame, hardware cycled, and dimensional check completed before packing.
15
Shipment
Container loaded and shipped to Dubai port with full documentation package.
Program Outcome
The total timeline from first contact to container departure was about 14 weeks — longer than a standard catalog order, but the buyer had a certified, custom-branded fire door program ready for a major project. That's the trade-off in OEM work: more upfront process, more defensible product at the end.
Gulf Region Hotel Chain Project
Destination: Dubai port. Certification scope: NFPA 80. Custom branding: buyer label. Hardware: panic bar per architect spec.
Market Segments Where OEM Door Programs Generate Margin
Your buyers in these segments are purchasing doors as part of a larger project or product offering — the door spec is a compliance and performance requirement, not a discretionary choice. That dynamic protects your margin.
Commercial Construction Supply
Contractors and project distributors supplying hotels, office buildings, and mixed-use developments need fire-rated and security doors in volume, with consistent specs across multiple floors or buildings. OEM programs with your brand and project-specific documentation simplify their procurement and give you a defensible position against commodity suppliers.
Residential Developer Programs
Developers building multi-unit residential projects — apartment blocks, gated communities — need consistent door specs across hundreds of units. A private-label program with your brand gives the developer a single-source relationship and gives you repeat volume on a predictable cycle.
Distribution and Import Programs
Importers building a door product line for hardware distributors or building material retailers need a factory that can hold consistent specs across repeat orders, manage packaging to their requirements, and scale volume as the line grows. The 50-unit standard MOQ lets you test SKUs before committing to full container quantities.
Specialty and Architectural Projects
Architects and fit-out contractors specifying custom door profiles for high-end commercial or hospitality projects need a factory with genuine engineering capability — not just a factory that will attempt any drawing and sort out the problems in production. Our ODM steel door base designs and in-house R&D team handle this category without the quality surprises.
Common Questions About OEM Door Manufacturing
Direct answers to the questions buyers ask before committing to a custom door program.
What is the minimum order for a custom OEM door design?
100 units for custom designs requiring new tooling or profile work. Standard catalog models start at 50 units. If you're testing a new SKU, the standard catalog MOQ is the lower-risk entry point — we can apply your branding and packaging at 50 units without new tooling cost.
How long does it take to go from my design to a production sample?
15–20 working days from spec submission to first sample, for designs that don't require new tooling. Designs requiring new press brake tooling or roll-form profiles add 7–10 working days. We'll give you a specific timeline after reviewing your drawings.
What file formats do you need for custom door designs?
DWG, DXF, STEP, or PDF with full dimensional callouts. If you have a physical sample you want replicated, we can work from that — our engineers will measure and produce the drawings. 3D models in SolidWorks or STEP format speed up the review process.
Can you match a competitor's door spec exactly?
We can manufacture to a dimensional and material spec. If you provide a full specification sheet — gauge, profile dimensions, hardware prep, finish spec — we'll build to it. We don't reverse-engineer proprietary designs or copy another factory's patented profiles.
Do your fire door OEM programs maintain NFPA 80 or CE certification on custom designs?
Certification coverage depends on how far the custom design deviates from our certified base configurations. Minor variations — color, hardware selection within approved hardware lists, label changes — don't affect certification. Structural changes to the door body, core material, or frame system require re-testing.
We'll tell you upfront whether your custom spec falls within our certified envelope or requires additional testing.
View our certifications scopeWhat happens if there's a quality issue after delivery?
Every unit ships with a barcode linked to its production batch record — line, date, inspection record. If there's a quality question on arrival, you can trace the unit within minutes. We stand behind our 100% pre-shipment inspection standard: if a defect passed our QC, we'll address it.
