Installers in the GTA usually choose between a stock door from a big-box store such as Home Depot, Lowe's, IKEA, RONA or Costco, and a custom shop and a wait. Buildr is the third: made to the ⅛ inch, ordered from the job site, picked up in two business days.

| Big-box store stock door | Custom shop | Buildr | |

| Ready when | Today, if your size is in stock. | 1 to 3 weeks, usually. | 2 business days after payment. You get a message the moment it's ready. |

| How you order | In store or online, depending on the retailer. | Phone, email or a visit, often with a deposit. | From the job site: the app, the web, or a WhatsApp message to Bob. Pay by card. |
| Where you collect it | The store, or delivery where the retailer offers it. | The shop, or installed by them. | The Buildr counter in Concord, Mon–Fri 8–4. Pickup only. |
The stores named are the retailers GTA installers most often mention. Product ranges and services differ by store and change over time, so check the store for current details. Buildr is not affiliated with any of them, and this page doesn't compare prices.
Standard opening, needed today, and the door on the shelf is the one you want. Nothing beats walking out with it.
Unusual finishes, oversize openings, anything beyond white panel and mirror. You pay for that range with the quote step and the lead time.
The everyday case: a closet opening that isn't a stock size, a job that can't wait two weeks, and an installer who'd rather type the size than make a phone call. Made to the exact opening, the complete kit in one pickup, ready in two business days.
HST is added at checkout. Pickup at the Buildr counter, 201 Millway Ave, Unit 28, Concord. Paid Monday morning, ready Wednesday.
Buildr's own prices: common sizes, panel and mirror · what moves the price
When the opening is a standard size, you need it in the next hour, and the door in the store is the one you want. Stock doors come in fixed sizes, so for an opening that isn't one of them, a made-to-measure kit may save the trimming and shimming.
For one job, yes: a closet opening that isn't a stock size. Home Depot, Lowe's, IKEA, RONA and Costco sell doors in fixed sizes you can take home the same day. Buildr makes the doors to the exact opening, ready for pickup in Concord in 2 business days, and the kit includes the tracks and fascia.
We don't compare prices. A stock door and a door made to your exact opening are different products, and store prices change. Compare on what matters to the job: fit, how soon you need it, and what's in the box. Buildr's own price shows in the app before you pay, and the common sizes are listed here.
When you need something Buildr doesn't make, or a finish outside white panel and mirror. For a standard closet opening, the wait and the quote step are the price you pay for that flexibility.
Deliver, install, or carry finishes beyond white or black panel, and mirror framed in white or black or frameless in white, silver or black. Everything is pickup only from the counter in Concord.
Questions about fit, a size, or an order. Text a photo of the opening if that's easier. No ticket queue.
