Who we work with

Alongside the people who design, build and install

01

Architects

We develop the door you have drawn and give technical support on the specification, so the detail of your design reaches site intact. Unusual projects are our everyday work.

02

Homeowners and builders

A front door that lives up to the house. We help you choose the model and finish, put you in touch with an installer in your area and follow the project through to installation.

03

Fabricators and installers

We supply the panel or the complete door for your client, with a quote itemised piece by piece and production lead times you can commit to.

What we make

From the panel to the complete door

Every piece is designed for a specific opening and made in our own factory. Nothing is mass-produced.

Door panels
Made-to-measure aluminium panels for fabricators to fit into their own door systems. Flush, grooved, glazed, with stainless steel or a bespoke design.
Monobloc doors
The complete door, frame and panel, ready to install. Made to fit the opening and the project.
Pivot doors
Large-format pivot doors for entrances where the door is the centrepiece of the façade.
Finishes
Powder coating in any RAL colour, smooth or textured, wood-effect finishes, stainless steel inlays and decorative glass.

How we work

A process shaped around you

From the first sketch to the installed door, we are with you at every decision so the project turns out as you pictured it.

  1. 01

    We listen to your idea

    Tell us about the opening, the façade and what you have in mind. A photo, a drawing or the measurements are enough to start.

  2. 02

    We advise on the solution

    We recommend the model, finish and technical approach that best serve the project, with support on the specification.

  3. 03

    A detailed proposal

    You receive a quote itemising every piece, with the payment terms, so you can decide with everything in view.

  4. 04

    Made to measure

    Each door is made to order in our factory in Âncora, for that opening and no other.

  5. 05

    Delivered and followed through

    We deliver across Portugal, Galicia and the rest of Europe, and follow the project through to installation.

About us

25 years of making doors in Âncora

Portancora was founded in Viana do Castelo, in the north of Portugal, to do one thing well: made-to-measure aluminium panels and doors. We work with fabricators who fit our pieces on their clients’ projects, with architects looking for a door designed around their building, and with people building their own homes.

We do not mass-produce. Every order is designed and made for a specific opening, which is why we are happy to take on the projects others turn down.

We deliver across Portugal, Galicia and the rest of Europe, and also sell to the United States.
