Door Profiling — Precision-Cut Doors Ready for Fast, Clean Installation

At BF Door Manufacturing, we specialise in custom door profiling, a highly accurate digital measuring and CNC-cutting process that ensures every door fits its frame perfectly, with no trimming, chiselling, or on-site modification required. Our profiling technology removes the guesswork from door installation, reduces on-site labour and improves fire-door performance, making it one of the most reliable and cost-efficient door preparation methods available in Australia.

What Is Door Profiling?

Door profiling is the process of creating a precise 2D architectural opening profile based on an installed door frame. A technician digitally measures the frame, including hinge positions, latch locations, and critical clearances. This digital data is then entered into our CNC machinery, allowing the door to be manufactured to the exact dimensions of the opening.

The result? A door that arrives fully prepared, hardware cutouts complete, accurate clearances applied, and ready to hang immediately.

How the Door Profiling Process Works

Initial Documentation Icon

Initial
Documentation

We start by gathering all project information, including:

  • Door type and handing
  • Hardware schedule
  • Required clearances
  • Floor type and thickness

This documentation allows our team to plan the profiling accurately. A technician then schedules an on-site measure.

3D Printer Icon

On-Site Digital
Measurement

Using advanced digital scanning tools, our technician captures the profile of each frame by defining measurement points around the opening. This creates a highly accurate 2D representation that mirrors the true shape of the frame, including hinge placement, latch locations, and opening tolerances.

Once complete, this data is sent to our manufacturing team for CNC processing.

Using Profile Data

The final step transforms the digital measurements into a perfectly cut door.
The CNC machine uses the profile to:

  • Cut the door to the precise size
  • Pre-cut all hardware preparations
  • Apply exact clearances for installation
  • Optionally, pre-prime the door for smoother finishing

Your doors are then delivered ready to hang. No cutting, no chiselling, no on-site adjustment.

Note: As door profiling creates a 2D profile, axial twisting of the frame cannot be detected.

Why Door Profiling Saves Time, Cost, and Labour

Time Efficient

Installers can hang doors immediately, thanks to all the prep work being done during manufacturing.

Compliance Support

Accurate profiling assists with AS1905 fire-door compliance, ensuring frame-to-door gaps do not exceed the 3mm requirement.

Cost Efficient

Reduced on-site labour means faster installation and earlier progress claims — valuable for contractors and project managers.

Cleaner and Safer Job Sites

No cutting tools, reduced dust, and fewer workers required mean a safer, cleaner installation environment.

Absolute Precision

All hardware dimensions are programmed into our database, ensuring every hinge, lock, and latch is cut exactly to specification.

Benefits of Profiling with BF Doors

When you choose our profiling service, you’re choosing confidence. Here’s what you gain:
Time Saving Icon

Time Savings

Doors arrive fully profiled, so your installer spends less time on site. Fewer tools, no planing or chiselling, just lift, fit, and finish.

Complaint Icon

AS1905 Compliance

Profiling helps maintain tight tolerances. For fire doors, the critical 3 mm maximum gap is easier to achieve when doors and frames match perfectly.

Save Money Icon

Cost Savings

Faster installs reduce labour hours and allow you to close out projects sooner, saving money on staging and site overheads.

Door Cleaning Icon

Cleaner Sites

No on-site trimming or sanding means less dust and mess, especially important for live environments like hospitals, schools, or occupied buildings.

Consistent Icon

Consistent Quality

Every door is cut on precision machinery, so the first door and the last door are the same.

How to Order Your Profiled Doors

Unmatched Precision
Through Digital Measurement

Our technicians carry out detailed on-site digital scans, capturing hinge locations, latch points, and exact frame dimensions. This ensures every door is manufactured to millimetre accuracy, providing a perfect fit when installed.

CNC Machine Icon

CNC-Machined for
Accuracy and Speed

Profiling data is fed directly into our CNC machinery, allowing all cut-outs, clearances, and hardware preparations to be completed before delivery. This dramatically speeds up installation and improves overall project efficiency.

Quality Compliants

Compliance You
Can Rely On

Accurate profiling helps maintain the strict gap tolerances required for fire-rated doors under AS1905. By controlling clearances during manufacturing, you achieve a compliant doorset without additional onsite rework.

Discount Icon

Reduced On-Site Labour
and Project Delays

With profiling, installers no longer need to trim or cut doors on-site. This reduces labour hours, minimises downtime, and supports faster progress claims, essential for medium and large-scale developments.

Worker Icon

Cleaner and
Safer Job Sites

No cutting tools, no dust, and fewer workers required. Profiling contributes to a safer working environment and helps maintain site cleanliness, especially in operational buildings or sensitive environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the main benefit of profiling compared to traditional door preparation?

Profiling eliminates the need for on-site trimming, cutting, and hardware preparation. The door arrives ready to hang, saving labour time and reducing installation errors.
Digital measuring allows extremely high accuracy, capturing hinge and latch positions down to the millimetre. This ensures a snug, precise fit once the door is installed.
Yes. Profiling allows consistent gap control, helping meet the 3mm maximum clearance requirement for fire-rated door sets under AS1905.
We require door handing, hardware schedules, floor thickness, clearance requirements, and frame details to complete the initial documentation and on-site scan.
Profiling works on most metal and timber frames, provided they are already installed. The technique accurately captures the frame shape for manufacturing.
