A classic wood exterior door is a traditional, timeless entrance door made primarily of wood, designed to enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality of a home.
Timeless Beauty: Wood doors have a classic, timeless look that enhances the curb appeal of any home. They can complement various architectural styles, from traditional to contemporary.
Natural Warmth: The natural grain and texture of wood add warmth and character to a home, creating an inviting entrance.
Customization: Wood doors can be easily customized with different stains, paints, finishes, and decorative elements like glass inserts, carvings, and moldings to match the homeowner’s personal style.
Strength: High-quality hardwoods like oak, mahogany, and walnut are incredibly strong and durable, capable of withstanding the elements and daily use.
Longevity: When properly maintained, wood doors can last for decades, making them a long-term investment.
Natural Insulation: Wood is a natural insulator, providing excellent thermal performance. It helps to keep the interior of the home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, contributing to energy efficiency.
All Classic Doors are handcrafted from 100% solid wood using traditional stile and rail construction with dowel joinery and full thickness raised panels. All combined, master craftsmen produce a very durable and strong, and yet beautiful entry system. Our expert design team will create your dream door from design to reality. We’ll be inspired by your wish list and fabricate your unique entrance with the utmost attention to detail.
Additional wood types available upon request.
Choosing multipoint door hardware offers significant advantages over traditional single-point locks, making it an excellent investment for enhanced security, durability, and energy efficiency. Our multipoint locking systems feature three or more locking points along the door, providing superior resistance to forced entry and ensuring a tighter seal against drafts, moisture, and noise. This not only improves insulation and reduces energy bills but also maintains proper door alignment and smooth operation, minimizing wear and tear.Â
