How are your wood doors constructed?
Our wood doors are all wood, built with a solid wood engineered core, then finished with a real hardwood wood veneer. This construction provides exceptional strength and stability and is far superior to solid wood doors in resisting warping, splitting, and other common issues over time.

A solid wood engineered core minimizes issues like warping, swelling, and cracking caused by humidity or temperature changes. Combined with a real hardwood wood veneer, this design offers superior durability and long-term performance.

We use premium hardwoods like African Mahogany and Knotty Alder, valued for their strength, density, and visual appeal. These hardwoods are ideal for both traditional and modern home styles.

Our Wood Door Construction
Our wood doors are crafted using rail and stile construction with an engineered stave core design, creating a compact and durable core that is stronger and more stable than traditional solid wood exterior doors. Standard solid wood doors are known for their natural beauty, but they can also be susceptible to warping. With our state-of-the-art engineering, we’ve tackled this challenge head-on to reduce the risk. Our doors are meticulously crafted to maintain their shape and durability, giving you the timeless elegance of solid wood front doors — without the worry of warping.
But we don’t stop at durability — our wood entry doors are as practical as they are beautiful. Featuring true divided lite (TDL) double-pane, insulated Low E Glass, our doors allow natural light to flood your home while maintaining energy and thermal efficiency. Each door comes with available stock glass options, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your home.
The Wood Species We Use
Mahogany
Our wood front doors are crafted from African Mahogany, known for its light pink to light brown color and straight, uniform grain. This durable and strong wood has a medium hardness and high strength-to-weight ratio, making it easy to stain in a wide array of colors.
Knotty Alder
Knotty Alder is a popular wood entry door for its light color, rustic appearance, and visible knots and streaks. Ideal for homes with a rustic, Mediterranean, or cottage feel, it offers great flexibility in stain color while preserving the natural beauty and grain pattern.
Our Handleset Preparation Options
When choosing a handle and lock for a wood front door, you want it to be stylish and secure.
Double Bore for Handleset & Deadbolt
We provide a standard double-bore preparation for tubular or cylinder door handles, with a 2-3/8” backset and 5-1/2” center-to-center holes. This setup is ideal for wooden entry doors with a standard thumb latch and deadbolt handle sets or electronic smart lock options.
Multipoint Locking
Multipoint locking provides a premium look, enhanced stability, and additional security with multiple latches positioned at the top, middle, and bottom of the door — all operating simultaneously. This system, which includes a deadbolt, is ideal for taller or oversized doors.
