Opening Doors for New Zealand Since 1926
In 1926, Duffett began with a simple goal: build strong, reliable doors for New Zealand businesses.
There’s no dramatic founding story preserved in the archives. What we do know is that for a century, Duffett has focused on doing one thing well — designing, building and servicing commercial and industrial doors that businesses can rely on.
Over the decades, New Zealand’s commercial landscape has changed dramatically. Warehouses, distribution centres, shopping centres and industrial facilities have expanded across the country. Through it all, Duffett doors have been part of the infrastructure that keeps those businesses moving.
Because commercial doors are more than just products, they’re essential to operations. When a warehouse roller door fails before a dispatch, or an automatic door stops working in a busy retail entrance, businesses need solutions fast.
That’s where Duffett’s experience matters. For nearly 100 years, our technicians have been installing, maintaining and repairing door systems across New Zealand, backed by nationwide service coverage and a 24-hour emergency repair service. Why Duffett
Today, Duffett continues to design and manufacture doors at its factory in Wiri, Auckland, using high-quality steel and aluminium and maintaining strict quality control over every system we produce.
Now part of the ASSA ABLOY group, Duffett combines over a century of local expertise with the innovation and global resources of the world’s leading access solutions provider.
While technology continues to evolve, Duffett’s focus remains the same as it was in 1926: building dependable door systems and supporting the businesses that rely on them.
After 100 years, we’re still doing exactly that.
