From their purpose built production facility in Norwich they manufacture a wide range of products including panel doors, flush doors, glazed screens, acoustic doors, PAS24 enhanced security doors and their renowned specialist fire doors, which are rigorously tested and subjected to temperatures of up to 1000 degrees.

Recent projects include the installation of 67 striking bright yellow internal doors at the Digi-Tech factory for the City College Norwich, 100 doorsets for the new Broadland Police Station, and multiple fire rating doors for a new GAP group warehouse.  Youngs Doors works across a variety of sectors from commercial projects, education, healthcare, leisure and public services, retail, emergency services and housing / student accommodation sector.
