Because each of our doors is handmade they can be made in any size you require. Our custom Craftsman and Mission style entry systems feature matching stain grade jambs and thresholds.

Entry systems which incorporate sidelites and /or transoms have jambs are typically constructed from 8/4 stain grade material to provide structural integrity and an authentic Craftsman appearance. Since we mill all of our own stock, special threshold or jamb configurations are available. Ask about our Custom trim packages. Matching brick or stucco mold is available.
