OUR PROCESS
How we handle landmark door projects
01
Initial assessment
We evaluate the existing door, the building’s landmark status, and the scope of restoration or replacement needed. We identify LPC requirements specific to your property before any work begins.
02
Design & documentation
We prepare all technical drawings, material specifications, and documentation required for the LPC application. Every detail is reviewed for compliance before submission.
03
LPC filing & approval
We coordinate directly with the Landmarks Preservation Commission, managing the filing process and responding to any requests for additional information. We don’t move forward until approval is confirmed.
04
Restoration & installation
With approvals in place, our team fabricates and installs the door to the exact specifications approved by the LPC — on time and with the craftsmanship historic buildings deserve.
WHY CHOOSE DORI DOORS?
Landmark doors require more than craftsmanship — they require expertise
Working on a landmark or historic building in New York City means navigating one of the most complex regulatory environments in the country. The wrong material, finish, or design detail can result in permit rejections, costly revisions, and project delays that set your timeline back months.
Most door companies don’t have the experience or the relationships to manage that process. At Dori Doors, landmark projects are a specialty. We’ve worked on some of New York City’s most recognized historic properties, and we understand exactly what the Landmarks Preservation Commission requires — from the initial application to the final approval.
We coordinate directly with the LPC and work alongside your architect, designer, or general contractor to ensure every detail is accurate, compliant, and approved before a single door is touched.

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT Landmark Door Restoration
& Filing in NYC.
If you have a question that you can’t find here, please contact us directly for more information.
What is the Landmarks Preservation Commission and why does it matter
for my door project?
The Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) is the New York City agency responsible for protecting and regulating changes to landmark buildings and historic districts. Any exterior modification to a landmarked property — including door replacement or restoration — requires LPC approval before work can begin. Working without approval can result in fines and mandatory reversal of the work.
Do you handle the LPC filing process directly?
Yes. We manage the entire filing process on your behalf — including application preparation, technical documentation, and direct coordination with the LPC. You don’t need to navigate the regulatory process alone.
How long does LPC approval take?
Timeline varies depending on the type of application and the complexity of the project. Standard approvals can take a few weeks, while more complex applications may take longer. We factor realistic timelines into your project estimate from the beginning.
Can you match the original materials and finishes of a historic door?
Yes. Historic material and finish matching is a core part of our landmark restoration work. We source period-accurate materials and work to replicate original details as closely as possible — or to the specifications approved by the LPC.
Do you work with architects and general contractors on landmark projects?
Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with architects, preservation specialists, and general contractors. We can work from existing drawings or develop our own technical documentation depending on what the project requires.
What types of landmark buildings
do you work on?
We work on individual landmark buildings, properties within historic districts, commercial landmark buildings, and residential landmark properties across all five NYC boroughs.
Do you restore doors or only replace them?
Both. Depending on the condition of the existing door and the LPC requirements, we can restore original doors to preserve historic fabric, or fabricate period-accurate replacements that meet LPC standards.
