Timber doors custom-made to suit your space
At MacBlack Timber, every door is custom built from locally grown New Zealand timber to suit your existing space, so there's no need to alter your frame or change your layout. Solid timber brings warmth, character and natural grain that manufactured doors simply can't replicate, creating a feature that's made specifically for your home.
Barn doors are our most popular style, whether you prefer a rustic cross braced design or something clean and contemporary, but we also build internal timber doors, exterior solid wooden doors and French doors.

Custom timber doors generally take four to six weeks from order confirmation to collection, with around half that time dedicated to carefully drying and preparing the timber before joinery begins. Taking the time to prepare the timber properly dramatically reduces the risk of warping, twisting and movement over the life of the door.
