Custom Wooden Doors - Commitment to Quality (A Word from Our Manufacturer)

We are a living, growing, always evolving business, where the art form of our products meet the necessary function in a home. Add a beautiful piece of our story to yours, with one-of-a-kind custom products, made in Montana. We work with each client from start to finish to create a custom door just for you. As with any work of art or hand crafted work, each custom door is built to suit and we take the time and effort necessary to produce wooden doors of the highest quality.

Handcrafted: All of our custom wood doors are created the old fashioned way, by hand, using proven time tested, manual processes that give the doors distinctive personality.

Craftsmen: Our team is made up of highly skilled craftspeople that are true artists. Many of them build furniture by hand as their hobby and they bring their attention to detail and artistic integrity to every custom wood door. For instance, our custom exterior door manager actually builds wooden hybrid acoustical and electric guitars in his spare time. One of our interior door specialists creates one-of-a kind wooden easels for artists.

Interior custom doors start at around $500 and go up from there into the thousands. As you add art work, sidelites, transoms, glass etc, it naturally increases the costs.

Design: Because we handcraft our products, we are able to offer virtually unlimited design opportunities through a totally integrated CAD system with final hand touches and review.

Our Door & Millwork Construction: All of our wooden doors and millwork are handcrafted at our 20,000 sq. ft facility in Kalispell, Montana. We hand sand to give our products a finished look and we also offer custom finishing, distressing and various enhancement options for each of our product lines. We typically build our doors using traditional frame and panel construction. Our stiles and rails are typically skinned with a minimum 1/8" thick skin to allow for better finish absorption and durability against nicks and abrasions. We typically use Stave Core for our stiles and rails compared to plywood used by many companies. Panels are typically made out of solid wood and float within the stiles and rails to allow expansion and contraction.

Wood: We have extensive knowledge about wood because we specialize in only offering products made out of the finest woods. Therefore, we pride ourselves on having the knowledge and expertise to select only the finest grades of woods and raw materials. When wood arrives at our facility, we actually hand select only the top wood pieces that we will use for our doors and if the wood is not up to our standards, we simply reject it. Along the same lines, we typically book match the wood for our custom exterior doors, a process where grains and distinctive characteristics are featured in each piece. In addition, we keep our wood extremely well acclimated, drying it to a 6-8 percent moisture content, which helps prevent bow and warp issues after assembly.

Thickness: We can build to any door thickness desired. However, our standards are a bit higher than the industry norms. Our interior doors are typically 1 ¾" thick compared to industry standard of 1 3/8" thick and our exterior doors are typically 2 ¼" thick compared to 1 ¾". This makes our custom doors structurally more sound and gives them a more aesthetically pleasing look and feel as well as a longer life in your home.

Stiles & Rails Construction: Our stiles and rails are typically skinned with a minimum 1/8" thick skin to allow for better finish absorption and durability against nicks and abrasions. We typically use Stave Core for our stiles and rails compared to plywood used by many companies. Panels are typically made out of solid wood and float within the stiles and rails. Stave Core, an engineered wood product increases the torsional stability and resistance to bow and warp of the door while retaining the traditional solid wood look and feel.

Simple custom exterior doors start at $1500 and go up into the 10s of thousands. Again as you add art work, sidelites, transoms, glass etc, it naturally increases the costs.
