Our
company’s roots go back to the early 1930’s -- Sam Sklar’s
paint and hardware business in Queens, very close to the neighborhood
that continues to house our present day enterprise. Sam, a Russian
immigrant and self-styled entrepreneur and inventor, chose an industry
in which he could use his talents while still contributing to his
community.
After struggling through, and then ultimately thriving in, the hardware
business during the War Years, the late 40’s building boom
on Long Island saw the opening of Sklar & Sons,
the family’s
hardware supply and installation company.
Sam’s ingenuity came through when he patented an innovative “knocked-down” steel
frame, which soon revolutionized the door installation industry.
This success, in turn, led to the opening of additional steel door
and fire door companies.
As the business continued to evolve, Sam’s sons, Martin and
Victor, decided to further extend their activities in the metal
and wood door industries. It was this diversification that led to
the
founding
of Manhattan Door Corporation, the premier flush
wood door manufacturer in the NY metropolitan area.
Today, under the able management of a third generation of Sklars,
Manhattan Door continues to thrive. It has enhanced its leadership
position among area producers through on-going improvements to its
75,000 sq. ft. Rewe St. facility; the application of state-of-the-art
technology using the latest CNC equipment; and our unique
full service approach, including:
| • take-off services |
• per spec constructions |
• special sizes (up to 10-0) |
| • machining for hardware |
• custom finishing |
• professional consulting services |
| • quick ship delivery featuring
our innovative “Door-in-24” program |
Most importantly, Manhattan
Door can attribute its ongoing success to itsreliance on the same
precepts of quality
product and total
customer service that have served the company so well over the years.
