Describe the doors you sell or install. Makeform creates an editable door order form for dimensions, construction, handing, frames, finishes, hardware, and delivery details.
Send door orders to Google Sheets, Slack, and Zapier.

Built for accurate intake
Door orders combine measurements and dependent choices. A guided form can adapt questions to the selected door type.
Reveal frame and threshold questions for prehung units while slab-only orders take a shorter path.
Require size, handing, material, finish, and preparation before review.
Tag missing measurements, unusual openings, and special hardware for clarification.
Four door workflows
Plants, installers, retail counters, and commercial estimators need different context for the same components.
Collect repeatable openings, dealer references, preparation, and shipping instructions.
Capture measurements, jamb conditions, access notes, and site photos.
Guide staff through options, pricing, deposits, suppliers, and review.
Organize requirements by opening mark and attach schedules and plans.
Order-form workflow
Start with your product vocabulary, refine the fields, and share the form with submitters.
Name your door types, submitters, and whether orders include multiple openings or schedules.
Add your materials, profiles, finishes, frames, glass, and preparation codes.
Show exterior, rating, and frame questions only when applicable.
Share the form, notify the salesperson or estimator, and route order data for review.
Order intake options
A schedule carries technical detail but cannot guide a submitter through missing choices. An online form can accept it while collecting project context.
Field guide
Use six focused sections to capture the information needed to identify, configure, review, and deliver an order. Adapt the choices to your catalog and internal process.
Customer and project
Capture the people and references staff use to find an order. Separate buyer, site, and delivery contacts when needed.
Opening and dimensions
Connect each opening to plans and room labels. Separate numeric fields make dimensions easier to review.
Handing and operation
Use a consistent handing reference and visual guide. Give sliding, bifold, double, and barn doors distinct operation choices.
Construction and appearance
Match construction choices to your catalog. Conditional paths keep incompatible materials, cores, finishes, glass, and louvers apart.
Frame, prep, and hardware
Prehung and commercial openings depend on compatible frames, hinges, bores, closers, and hardware. Collect internal prep codes where useful.
Evidence and review
Plans, photos, schedules, and sketches clarify unusual details. A readable summary helps submitters spot omissions.

It collects customer, project, opening, dimensions, construction, finish, frame, preparation, hardware, and delivery information for review. It can support one replacement door or many scheduled openings.
Collect slab width, height, thickness, rough opening, wall thickness, and jamb depth when applicable. Separate the fields, state units, and say whether each measurement describes the opening, frame, or slab.
Use your staff's handing terms and add a diagram or viewing rule. Ask for inswing or outswing where relevant. Site photos add context, but retain a structured selection for review.
Yes. Let submitters repeat opening details or upload a schedule after completing project-level fields. Require an opening mark or room label for every unit.
Yes. Conditional logic can show exterior, prehung, glass, or commercial preparation fields only when relevant, keeping simpler orders short.
Yes. Accept plans, schedules, elevations, sketches, hardware sets, and site photos. Label expected files and ask which opening or condition each supports.
Yes. Makeform includes unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and collect door order submissions without an artificial response allowance. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Require critical fields, use catalog-specific choices, split dimensions into numeric inputs, and show a summary. Route exceptions to staff; structured intake does not replace measurement or production review.
