Custom Doors in Islington, Toronto
Custom Doors in Islington, Toronto | Built for One of Etobicoke's Oldest Villages
Custom doors in Islington start with a neighbourhood that predates most of Etobicoke by decades: it grew up around a stagecoach inn on the old Dundas Highway in the 1830s and served as Etobicoke's original municipal seat once the township became independent in 1850. EHI Custom Doors manufactures every front and back door to your home's exact opening, in solid fiberglass finished to suit it. No imported system on a three-month wait, just a door built for your house specifically.
- Manufactured to your exact opening, whether your home is decades old or a newer build near the subway
- Finished to suit homes ranging from the historic village core to the newer growth around Islington station
- Real pricing starting at $2,500, not a European import on a months-long lead time
- HomeStars Verified with a lifetime warranty on the fiberglass
- Same team from your first message to the final seal, about 45 to 47 minutes up the 404

What We Manufacture
From the established homes closer to the historic village core around Dundas and Islington to the newer builds rising near Islington subway station, we manufacture every front and back entry door to fit your home's exact opening. Every door is solid fiberglass, finished the way you want it, never picked off a shelf.
Custom Front Doors
Your front door sits in a neighbourhood that has been continuously settled since a stagecoach inn opened here in the 1830s, longer than almost anywhere else in Etobicoke. We build it in solid fiberglass, sized to your exact opening, with finish options like Oak Grain, Mahogany Grain, Smooth, or Contemporary.
Custom Full-Glass Front Door with Sidelights
Custom Back Doors
A lot of Islington homes have added a deck, mudroom, or rear extension over the decades as families settled in for the long term. We build your back door in the same solid fiberglass as our front doors, sized to your exact opening and finished to hold up to it.
Custom Back Door
Why Islington Homeowners Choose EHI Custom Doors
Search for a custom door manufacturer in Islington and most of what comes up is a repair or locksmith franchise, not a genuine manufacturer building to your actual opening. We manufacture front and back doors, in Ontario, whether your home dates back generations or went up last year.
Built for a Neighbourhood That Predates the Standard
Islington has been settled since the 1830s, long before builder-grade door sizing existed, and homes here span nearly two centuries of construction as a result. We measure your actual opening and manufacture to it.
Etobicoke's Original Village
Islington served as Etobicoke's first municipal seat after the township became independent in 1850, and the neighbourhood still carries that sense of being the original, not an afterthought. We build doors that respect it.
Real Pricing, Made in Ontario
Imported European systems often carry a lead time of eight weeks or more. Ours is manufactured close by, priced plainly: single doors start at $2,500 installed, double doors start at $5,100.
Our Services
Every door we build for an Islington home goes through the same three steps, all under our own roof. No dealer network, no subcontractor showing up on install day who was not part of your original quote.
Door Manufacturing
Your door starts as raw fiberglass at our Whitchurch-Stouffville workshop and leaves built for your home's exact opening, whatever era it was actually framed in.

Once your door is built, the same team that made it handles the install, taking care of the framing, the fit, and the final seal.

When a door is too far gone, cracked, rotted, or letting in drafts no matter how many times it has been patched or resealed, we replace it with a custom fiberglass door built to your exact opening.
Get Your Door ReplacedWhat Makes an EHI Door Different
Every entry door we build for an Islington home is built around a foam core and a full moisture barrier, which is exactly why we can back it with a lifetime warranty on the fiberglass. Here is what actually goes into it.
CFC-Free Polyurethane Foam Core
Every door is built around a CFC-free polyurethane foam core, giving you six times the insulation of a standard wood door, a real upgrade over what a lot of Islington's older homes were originally built with.
Tongue-in-Groove Moisture Barrier
Every door uses a tongue-in-groove rail lock system with composite PVC rails, keeping it fully waterproof at every seam. No swelling, no rot working in from rain or melting snow.
Lifetime Fiberglass Warranty
Fiberglass does not rot, crack, or break down the way an older wood door eventually does, so we back every door with a lifetime warranty on the fiberglass itself.
Multipoint Lock System
Every door comes with a multipoint locking system, engaging at several points along the frame instead of one deadbolt, in finishes like satin nickel, oil rubbed bronze, and matte black.

From your first message to us to the final install at your Islington home, the process stays simple. No pushy in-home sales visit, just clear pricing and a team that actually builds what you order.

Custom Manufacturing and Professional Installation
Your door is built specifically for your home, then installed by our own team, with a full quality check before we leave to make sure everything operates the way it should.
Door Styles That Fit Islington Homes
Islington spans nearly two centuries of building, from Georgian-era homes near the historic village core to postwar houses and newer builds closer to the subway. The right door depends on which era yours belongs to.
Wood-Grain Finishes for Established Homes
For the older homes near Islington's historic core, an Oak Grain or Mahogany Grain finish sits naturally against brick and mature landscaping, without the yearly refinishing a real wood door needs.
Modern Finishes for Newer Builds
Closer to Islington station, a smooth, clean-panel door in matte black or charcoal with a slim glass insert tends to fit the newer architecture better.
Built to Fit, Not Off the Shelf
Either way, every door is fully custom to your opening, so a home from any era of Islington's long history is never stuck picking from a modern stock size chart.
Real Pricing, No Guesswork
We do not believe in vague estimates, even in a neighbourhood that spans nearly two centuries of building. Here is a real starting point for what a new custom fiberglass door costs installed.
Single Door
A single custom fiberglass door for your Islington home starts at $2,500 installed, backed by a lifetime warranty on the fiberglass. Final price depends on size, glass, finish, and hardware like a single point or multipoint lock.
Double Door
A double custom fiberglass door, sized for a wider Islington entrance, starts at $5,100 installed. Final price depends on the same factors as a single door, scaled up for two panels.
Serving Islington From Our Whitchurch-Stouffville Workshop
Islington is one of the farther Toronto neighbourhoods from our workshop. It's on Bloomington Road in Whitchurch-Stouffville, about 45 to 47 minutes up the 404.
What that drive buys you is a door built by the same team that installs it, manufactured in Ontario instead of shipped over from a European supplier on a months-long wait. Every measurement, every cut, and every install for your Islington home comes from one crew, start to finish.

In 2021, Efficient Home Improvements, the team behind EHI Custom Doors, was named a HomeStars Best of Award Winner and has held HomeStars Verified status ever since, recognition that takes a full year of real reviews and a background check to earn, not something handed out for free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to replace a front door in Islington?
In most cases, no. The City of Toronto does not require a permit to replace a door in an existing opening on a detached, semi-detached, or row house, as long as the size and structural support of the opening stay the same.
Is my home near Montgomery's Inn under a heritage designation?
Some properties near the historic village core are individually heritage-listed, and alterations visible from the street on those specific homes need a heritage permit. Most other like-for-like door replacements in Toronto do not need a permit as long as the opening's size and structural support stay the same. We can help you figure out which situation applies to your home.
How much does a custom front door cost in Islington?
A single custom fiberglass door starts at $2,500 installed, and a double door starts at $5,100 installed. Final price depends on size, glass, finish, and hardware, but those two numbers are the real starting point.
My home is a newer build near Islington station. Do you still build custom doors for it?
Yes. A newer build still deserves a door manufactured to its actual opening rather than a generic stock size, and we build the same way for a new house as we do for one that has been standing for a century.
Choosing custom doors in Islington should not mean settling for a generic size that ignores nearly two centuries of building history, or paying imported pricing for something manufactured overseas. EHI Custom Doors manufactures, installs, and replaces fiberglass front and back entry doors built to your home's exact opening.
Every door is backed by a lifetime warranty on the fiberglass, priced honestly from the start, and installed by the same team that built it. If you are ready for an entry door that is actually made for your Islington home, call us at 647-952-2311 or fill out the form above for a free quote.
