The first choice you are asked to make is the basic type of door.

Choose if you want double or single. Top styles can be straight, eyebrow arch or full arch. Don't worry if it is not exactly what you want yet - there will be plenty of other options to choose from.

The Frame Options defines the width of the frame (The stiles and rails of the door). You can also choose a wide or narrow frame. The wide frame is about 6" (150mm) and narrow is about 3" (85mm). Both choices are equally durable and the choice is only one of personal taste.

Here you can also choose the type of Kick Panel you want - this is lower portion of the door under the window. You can choose various shapes - or to have no kick panel at all.

The Scrollwork / Lights design can be anything that is pleasing to you. We have many designs in our library or we can work from your sketch or picture. If you do not find what you like in the list of designs, choose the last option called "Alternative". Once selected you will see a new button on top left "Example Scrollwork / Lights". Click on that and you will be offered even more designs to review or the option to upload your own image. The image selected or uploaded will be shown in top left corner.

After we receive your order we will make CAD (engineering) drawings of your door using the example given. We will make sure you are completely happy with the final design before making your door.

The configuration panel lets you add sidelights and or a transom to your door. Various combinations and sizes are available depending on your type of door. If you don・t see what you want, choose something close to what you want. You will be able to adjust the exact size and design of the unit later.

Please note, you see the words "Matching Scrollwork / Lights TBD" in the sidelight or transom then it means we don't yet have a preview of that design. After you place your order we will create this design and supply you with engineering drawings for your approval. We will be sure you totally happy with the design before making your door.

All our colors have a subtle metalic patina under the surface, like most automobiles, although the effect is subtle it does add depth and interest. All or finishes are a soft satin luster that fits perfectly with most other architectural elements.
