General Doors

General Doors Corporation has been a leading manufacturer of sectional overhead doors since 1947. Our journey began with a focus on crafting premium wood doors, setting the stage for a legacy of quality and innovation in the door industry. Over the decades, we expanded our product lines to encompass both commercial steel doors in the 1970s and residential steel doors in the 1980s, meeting the evolving needs of our customers.

We recognized the importance of making our products readily accessible to a wider market. In the 1990s, we strategically developed a network of distribution and sub-manufacturing facilities serving the East and Northeast regions of the country. This expansion allowed us to strengthen our presence and provide exceptional service to a growing customer base.

Commitment to Excellence and Innovation

The current decade has witnessed a continuous expansion of our manufacturing and distribution capabilities. We are proud to have incorporated the latest technologies and design trends, developing a range of stylish wood and steel carriage-style doors that add a touch of elegance to any home. Our dedication to craftsmanship and innovation distinguishes us as one of the few door companies that still manufactures a comprehensive line of wood doors and invests in producing our own track and hardware.

Strategic Locations and Partnerships

General Doors' main office and manufacturing plant are strategically located in Bristol, Pennsylvania, a prime location approximately 20 miles north of Philadelphia. This central hub enables efficient distribution and operations throughout the region.

Under the General Doors umbrella, we operate several specialized facilities:

• Dor-Set Corporation, also located in Bristol, Pennsylvania, focuses exclusively on steel door manufacturing.
• A network of distribution centers strategically placed across key markets, including "Banner Doors" locations in Woonsocket, Rhode Island; Newington, Connecticut; Lewiston, Maine; Hudson, Massachusetts; Manchester, New Hampshire; Geneva, New York; and "Bristol Doors" in Cincinnati, Ohio.

• Artisan Custom Doorworks, our partnership venture in Morgantown, Pennsylvania, specializes in meticulously crafted custom doors. This separate entity leverages the experience and manufacturing capabilities of General Doors to deliver exceptional quality and attention to detail.

By strategically expanding our reach and partnering with leading industry players, we ensure that our customers have access to a wide range of products and expert services.

Our goal is to curate a portfolio of products that consistently exceed industry standards, offering a harmonious balance of aesthetics, construction, durability, and value.

Partnering with Distributors

We operate on a wholesale basis, serving approximately 1,000 professional garage door distributors and building supply companies. Our unwavering commitment is to collaborate closely with our distributors, providing the right products at competitive prices, and offering comprehensive technical support to empower their success.

The door industry has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent years, with an explosion of diverse models, designs, materials, and colors. While the manufacturing and sales landscape has evolved significantly, the core principle of reliable installation remains paramount.

General Doors stands apart by providing comprehensive support that extends beyond product offerings. Each location is equipped to assist distributors with installation-related needs. This includes cutting out lites, cutting down sections, and providing insulation for doors. Furthermore, we offer expertise in calculating and cutting springs and cables, as well as fabricating track, ensuring a seamless installation process.
