Types of office door
- Manager and cabin doors. Veneered or laminated solid-core doors for privacy.
- Glass doors. Framed or frameless glass for meeting rooms and reception.
- Sliding doors. For tight corridors and partitions.
- Fire and exit doors. For stairs and escape routes.
Glass and frosting
Glass doors make an office feel open and bright. Use tempered or laminated glass of 8 to 12 millimetres for frameless doors, and frosted bands at eye level for privacy and to prevent collisions. Add company logos on frosting for branding.
Acoustic and privacy needs
Manager rooms and meeting rooms need sound privacy, so use solid-core doors with perimeter seals and drop seals, since glass doors leak sound. See soundproof doors and windows.
Safety and fire rules
Escape routes need fire-rated, self-closing doors and outward opening exits, clear signs and panic hardware. See fire doors. Glass doors need safety glass and visible markings. Check local building rules for commercial buildings.
Hardware and access
Use lever handles, quality hinges and closers, and consider keycard or fingerprint locks for server rooms and managers' offices. Add door stops and kick plates. Check that doors suit wheelchair users, with 0.9 metre clear width.
Finishes and signage
Veneer and laminate give a corporate look, and glass with aluminium frames feels modern. Add name plates and room signs at consistent heights. Match colours to the office palette.

Planning tips
Plan door positions with furniture and circulation, keep swings clear and choose a limited family of door types. Fitting should be done by a trained carpenter or fixer, and the frame and wall checked for level before the door is hung.
A short checklist
Match doors to privacy and safety needs, use safety glass and plan access and signage. Visit a few finished offices if you can, note which doors feel solid and which feel flimsy and ask the supplier for references. Plan door numbers and positions on the floor plan, and ask for a hardware schedule that lists every handle, closer and lock by door, so that fitters and the office manager work from one document. Keep the specification, drawings and finish details in one folder and compare at least two quotes on the same list, because small differences in thickness, core and hardware explain most price gaps. Ask for delivery and fitting dates in writing, and inspect each door and its hardware on arrival before the carpenter leaves, since faults found early are simple to fix.
