A Solid Background
A Legacy Passed Down Through Generations
Founded in Brits in 1969 and still family-run — today one of Africa's largest manufacturers of doors, frames and mouldings. Our story is built on precision, innovation and integrity. For us, craftsmanship isn't just a process — it's a legacy. Every door we make carries our family's promise of enduring strength, refined detail and design excellence.
Solid Doors manufactures wooden external and internal doors, door frames and mouldings across fifteen distinct ranges. Founded in 1969, the company has grown from a single workshop into a supplier serving DIY retailers, building merchants and wholesale distributors throughout South Africa, neighbouring states and other African countries.

Precision at Volume
Timber selection, machining, pressing and finishing all happen under one roof in Brits. Controlling every stage is how we hold a consistent specification across thousands of doors a week — and why merchants can reorder a range years later and get the same door.
