"If I could give Universal 10 stars I would"
If I could give Universal 10 stars I would, from their communication, quality of work, and their employees, I was genuinely impressed by them all. I had 2 doors installed in my facility by their crews and they did phenomenal work. I had even a slight user error occur by one of my members (gym facility) and universal immediately sent out their team to handle. Thank you Universal! I would highly recommend!

"As an Interior Designer I recently had the pleasure of working with the wonderful staff at Universal Fire Proof Doors."
I had commissioned them to design, fabricate, deliver and install a really beautiful Full French Motif Door for the main entrance to one of my clients Mix Use Residential buildings in Brooklyn Heights, NY.
Not only did they deliver a great product but their attention to detail, professionalism and customer care lead by manager Christian was impeccable from start to finish. I implore anyone looking to enhance their residential or commercial projects to discover what Universal Fire Proof Doors can do for you.Alexander Morrison

"Universal fire door made our door purchase so easy."
We told them what we needed and they worked with us to get our beautiful front entry door. We needed a high security option for our office front.
Universal are thorough in their email and phone communication to avoid any errors on sizing and were extremely helpful and informative on what would be the best options for us.
My doors just got installed this week and we am so happy with the results. The whole process was very seamless from beginning to end - from selection and pricing then the delivery of our doors. I worked with Ari via email and phone who is extremely knowledgeable and she guided us in the right direction – we could not have done it without her. We did our own installation so I cannot comment on that but overall I am very happy with the results and feel it was worth every penny we spent.
Thanks all!J.D.

"True professionals!"
We needed - what else - fireproof doors. Called this place, they sent someone to take the measurements, we were provided with a quote, ordered the doors, they were manufactured, and installed. All was done professionally and perfectly. Posting a picture. Thank you for a job well done!

"I always have a great experience working with Universal."
We have ordered several fire rated doors for our NYC properties and Lorena is a pleasure to deal with. They can usually provide an estimate for door replacements just with pictures, making my life easier, install is seamless and turnaround is extremely quick. Overall, a great company to work with time and time again.

"As the manager for my family building, I answer to a trust."
I was a bit nervous about my choice to choose UFD. Truth of the matter is everything was handled with care, from customer service, estimate, fabrication and install. Any questions or changes that needed to be done, where answered and changed quickly. Which helped ease my anxiety. Professionalism at its best. Will definitely use them again.
Thank you
