CNC for architectural doors is what Multiax has built for two decades — purpose-engineered machining centers that handle hinge mortising, lock prep, sweep cutouts, and beveling in one feed-through cycle. Built in Michigan, serving door manufacturers across North America.

Multiax Technologies is located in Grandville, Michigan.  We have been working with door manufacturers for more than 20 years.  During that time we have provided solutions to the unique needs of many door manufacturers.  We tailor our equipment for the specific needs of each customer.  We can offer machines with 3, 4, 5 or more axes. We have produced machines with more than 15 axes with three simultaneous machining processes.  If you need to be more efficient we are here to help.

We can help the door distributor who needs to machine a small quantity of doors in a fast turn around, as well as the higher volume door manufacturer.  We have software solutions that can design a door and create the program for our CNC machine, all from an order entry screen with drop down menus, with no programming experience required from the order entry person.  We have worked with door manufacturers in many markets to offer innovative solutions for their needs. We have helped customers in solid wood, MDF, fiberglass, aluminum, and hollow metal doors.  Let us know your needs and we will do our best to help.

CNC for Architectural Doors: A Specialized Discipline

Architectural door manufacturing is not general woodworking. Tolerances are tight, the hardware list is long, and every door has to align perfectly with the frame it is hung in. CNC for architectural doors needs to handle hinge mortising, lock prep, sweep cutouts, beveling, and surface boring — often on the same machine, in a single setup. The wrong tool for the job adds setups, eats labor, and shows up as inconsistency in the finished product.

Why Door Manufacturers Choose Multiax

Multiax has built CNC for architectural doors since the early 2000s, with the NE Series purpose-built for door processing in North America. The feed-through table design lets door manufacturers run high volumes without manual repositioning, while the 4-axis head handles bevels and side-strike work in the same cycle. For shops running multiple door sizes per shift, changeover time is measured in seconds rather than minutes.

Hinge Mortising, Lock Prep, and Beveling

The most common CNC for architectural doors operations are hinge mortising, lock prep, sweep cutouts, and beveling. The NE Series handles all four in one pass, with a 13 HP spindle managing solid wood doors, engineered cores, and fire-rated assemblies. Door manufacturers running with us have replaced multi-station production lines with a single NE machine and seen throughput improve by 30 to 40 percent.

Made for North American Door Shops

Multiax Technologies engineers and supports CNC for architectural doors from Grandville, Michigan, with service technicians located across the United States and Canada. We work with door manufacturers ranging from small custom shops to high-volume operations producing thousands of doors per week. See the NE Series for the door-specific machine, or contact us to discuss your application.
