How do I get started finding the perfect door?
1. Construction Phase Matters:
New Build/Major Renovation: Ideal! Design your opening to fit your dream door. Work with your builder to frame the opening to fit your new door.
Existing Opening: Measure your current opening accurately (see step 2).
2. Measure Carefully:
Width: Measure at the top, middle, and bottom of the door or opening. Use the smallest measurement.
Height: Measure both sides; use the smallest measurement.
Thickness: Measure the door's thickness.
Jamb Depth: (For existing openings) Measure your door frame's depth.
Swing: Determine if your door is left or right-hand. (Hinges on the left from outside, it is a left-hand door)
Pro-Tip: Photos of your current door and opening are helpful!

What type of wood are your doors made of?
Our antique doors are crafted from a variety of beautiful, aged woods. A significant portion of our collection features old-growth Baltic Pine, a prized wood known for its superior strength, fine grain, and the rich patina it develops over time. Each door's specific material is listed on its product page.
Do you craft any of your own doors?
Yes, in addition to our antique collection, we offer a selection of newly built doors, meticulously handcrafted with the same care and expertise as their antique counterparts. We use traditional mortise and tenon joinery, a hallmark of quality craftsmanship, and old-growth Baltic Pine, renowned for its beauty and durability. While we don't offer custom orders at this time, our newly built collection is worth exploring!
Where do your doors originate from?
Our doors come from all over the world, each with its own rich history. We source many from Europe, notably France and Belgium. We also feature doors from farther locales such as Egypt, Turkey, and beyond.
Are the doors square and ready to install?
Each of our antique doors is sold as-is, showcasing its unique patina and history. Some doors may be nearly square, while others retain their original hinges, adding to their charm. To make installation easier, we offer services to remove hinges and square the door's edges. This allows your contractor or carpenter to build a custom jamb for a seamless fit. Contact us to learn more about how we can tailor your door to your specific needs.
