From first measurement to final delivery.
A custom door system affects framing, waterproofing, finishes, scheduling, and installation. Our process confirms the critical details before the system enters production.
Submit the project
Provide the project city and state, rough-opening width and height, project type, desired system, target timeline, and any photos, plans, elevations, or door schedules.
Preliminary review
We review the information, discuss the intended operation, and identify missing details. Rough-opening dimensions are for planning and quoting—not automatically the final unit dimensions.
Receive the quote
Your preliminary quote identifies the proposed system, assumptions, selected options, pricing, estimated production timeframe, delivery method, and payment requirements.
Confirm the configuration
We confirm panel count, operation, stacking location, frame finish, glass, hardware, threshold, screens, and other selected options.
Review and approve drawings
Detailed drawings are prepared before production. The customer and responsible construction professional must review the unit dimensions, panel layout, operation, and rough-opening requirements.
Deposit and production
Production begins after the required deposit, final selections, and signed drawing approval. Most custom systems require approximately 90 days, although timing may vary by configuration and logistics.
Prepare the opening
The contractor prepares the opening according to the approved requirements, including structure, level and plumb conditions, waterproofing, flashing, anchoring surfaces, and finish clearances.
Coordinate delivery
Delivery is coordinated based on the order, destination, access, unloading requirements, and construction schedule.
Professional installation
The system must be installed by qualified professionals in accordance with approved drawings and product guidance. ModernFold provides product documents and reasonable product support but does not supervise or guarantee independent installer workmanship.
Production timing
Production time is estimated—not guaranteed—until the final configuration is approved and the manufacturer confirms the production schedule.
Order early
Starting before the opening is fully framed helps reduce reframing, finish, waterproofing, and schedule risks.
