Can you help us design something we have in mind or modify a design you have?
Absolutely. We encourage you let us incorporate your ideas into your own design. We will provide detailed CAD drawings for you through the process. Once a design is approved we use that CAD drawing to build your door. Below are examples of what the design drawings will look like:

Specifications
Why is door swing important?
You can select or order your custom door with left or right hand swing. This is usually a matter of preference often influenced by the design of your house. Factors like light switches, or entries to other rooms like a study off the foray typically influence this choice. We can help you decide.
On double doors units do both door panels open?
Yes. On entries featuring double door units, the inactive door panel is equipped with a flush bolt system allowing it to remain locked and stationary when not in use but full opens when needed so both panels can be opened at the same time.
