Custom Timber Joinery Manufacturer in Auckland
Our business is built on three generations of joiners in the Dando family, with timber joinery knowledge passed down from grandfather to father, and now to son. That depth of experience shapes how we design and manufacture custom timber doors and windows for homes throughout New Zealand.
Our bespoke joinery includes bifold doors, French doors, sliding doors, and custom windows, all designed for durability, performance, and long-term value.
Every timber door and window is manufactured in-house at our Auckland factory. We don’t import or resell, we make everything ourselves, giving us full control over quality, detailing, and delivery from specification through to completion.
We have manufactured timber doors and windows for more than 45 years, and we have operated from the same Auckland premises since the late 1980s. This gives builders and homeowners a stable, long established manufacturing base, consistent workmanship, and the confidence that comes with decades of experience.
We understand that building or renovating can be stressful, so our approach is focused on making the joinery process straightforward. We provide clear advice, accurate pricing, reliable timeframes, and open communication, so you can move forward with confidence.
In May 2024, JMF NZ recognised us as New Zealand’s largest producer of NZS 4211–compliant timber joinery, based on certified tag volume across 118 registered manufacturers nationwide

Joinery Made for New Zealand Homes
At Dando Doors and Windows, we manufacture timber doors and windows specifically for New Zealand conditions. As a third-generation timber joinery manufacturer, we understand what it takes for joinery to perform over the long term — not just on installation day, but for decades to come.
All of our timber joinery is designed, engineered, and manufactured in-house at our Auckland factory, giving us full control over quality, performance, and delivery.
Proven Performance, Not Just Good Looks
Tested for Weathertightness
All of our timber doors and windows are tested to New Zealand weathertight standards, including exposure to extreme wind and rain conditions equivalent to hurricane-force events. This testing gives builders and homeowners confidence that our joinery meets the demands of New Zealand’s climate and complies with current performance requirements.
Naturally High Thermal Performance
Timber has excellent natural thermal resistance, helping to reduce heat loss, improve indoor comfort, and support warmer, healthier homes. When combined with modern glazing systems and correct detailing, timber joinery contributes meaningfully to overall building performance and energy efficiency.
Built for Long Service Life
Well-designed and properly maintained timber joinery can last for decades. Unlike many other materials, timber doors and windows can be repaired, refinished, and refreshed over time, extending their lifespan and reducing the need for full replacement.
Design Flexibility Without Compromise
Timber offers exceptional flexibility in size, profile, finish, and detailing. Whether you’re working on a heritage renovation, architectural new build, or bespoke home, timber joinery allows you to achieve the look you want without compromising performance.
A Responsible Material Choice
Timber is a renewable material with a low embodied carbon footprint. When sourced and manufactured responsibly, it remains one of the most environmentally sound options for high-performance doors and windows.
