Our Doors
Built Right, Built to Last
All wood used in manufacturing is FASIF-certified and kiln dried down to 6%–8% moisture content. Every stile is hand-selected for straightness and stability. No glue joints are used to obtain desired widths — except in situations where required widths are simply not available.
All panel material is selected for width to avoid glue joints. Panels are 1 3/8″ thick unless specified — thicker than standard, allowing for more decorative designs with no glue lines to separate or color variations.

How We Build Our Doors
Every door that leaves our shop is built with the same attention to detail — from material selection to final hanging.
FASIF Kiln-Dried Wood
All lumber is FASIF-certified and kiln dried to 6%–8% moisture content, ensuring dimensional stability and resistance to warping over time.
1 3/8″ Thick Panels
Panels are 1 3/8″ thick — thicker than the industry standard ¾″ or 1″ — allowing for more decorative designs with no glue lines or color variations.
Pre-Hung with Wood Screws
Doors are pre-hung using wood screws to secure jamb legs to jamb headers. When casing is applied, miter joints are far less likely to pull apart.
Standard Clearances
1″ carpet clearance is allowed on all doors unless specified otherwise. Standard bore is used unless the customer specifies a different hardware configuration.
Hand-Selected Stiles
Every stile is individually hand-selected for straightness and stability — no shortcuts in material selection that could compromise the finished door.
Interior & Exterior
We build both interior passage doors and exterior entry doors, each engineered for its specific application and exposure requirements.
Care & Installation
Handling, Site Finishing & Installation Instructions
Proper handling and finishing are essential to the long-term performance of your hardwood door. Follow these steps for best results.
Delivery & Storage
Unsealed doors must not be subject to abnormal heat, dryness, humidity, or sudden atmospheric changes. Deliver to the building site after plaster and cement are dry. If stored at the job site for more than one week, the entire door — including all edges and cutouts for hinges or hardware — must be sealed. Store flat on a level surface in a dry, well-ventilated building. Cover to keep clean but allow air circulation.
Preparation Before Finishing
Before finishing, the door must be clean. Remove handling marks, loose wood fibers, and raised grain by sanding lightly with fine sandpaper. Handle with clean gloves, taking care not to drag the door across other surfaces. Finishing must be done immediately after cutting for weather strip and hardware.
Staining
Most wood stains are applied before sealer to ensure proper penetration. Most solvent-based stains have some sealing qualities but should not be relied upon for adequate sealing. Most stains are wiped after application — the length of time allowed to penetrate before wiping and the amount of rubbing will determine the depth of color. Most stains lighten in color before drying and may darken slightly upon application of clear sealer and varnish.
Sealing & Top Coat
Before hanging any door, the entire door — including all cutouts for hardware — must be thoroughly sealed with two coats of good quality sealer. Lightly steel wool or sand after each coat. Next, apply at least two coats of high-quality polyurethane or lacquer, sanding lightly between coats. Apply finish to all surfaces, edges, and cutouts for hardware. For pre-hung doors, remove hinges so sealer and finish can be applied underneath.
Painted Doors
Sand lightly with fine sandpaper to remove any small fibers, then prime the entire door — including cutouts for hardware — with a high-quality primer, followed by at least two coats of high-quality paint. Be sure to apply to all edges and cutouts. For pre-hung doors, remove hinges so primer and paint can be applied underneath. Any new cut edges made after priming must be re-primed and repainted.
Installation Notes
The structural integrity of the door must not be impaired when fitting. There must be no alteration for lights, louvers, panels, or any other specific details. Take care in the application of hardware. If doors have been sealed and refinished prior to job site fitting, any new cut edges must be sealed and refinished.
