Buying Helps
Below are a number of explanations to help in determining what options you will choose from the drop down menus. Measurements to Know When sizing the door you will need to consider two principle measurements, rough opening and frame size. See the image below for reference. Rough Opening The rough opening is the distance from stud to stud for framing purposes. We advise that you build a rough opening that is ½ in. wider and 1/2 in. taller than the total door unit. We find that this allows for sufficient shimming and adjustments during installation. Frame Width The Frame Width is the actual width of the door jamb. When determining the frame width you want to put in a number that is at least a half inch less than the rough opening size to allow room to square and level the door. For example, for a rough opening 48 inches wide, order a frame width of 47 1/2 inches. Frame Height The Frame Height is the actual height of the door jamb. This includes the the header and threshold. When determining the frame height you want to put in a number that is at least a half inch less than the rough opening size to allow room to square and level the door. For example, for a rough opening 96 inches tall, order a frame height of 96 1/2 inches.
OUR STANDARD SELECTION
Mahogany (Sapele)
African Mahogany (Sapele) is a reddish-brown hardwood wood and is desired for its rarity, strength, and beauty. It is one of our most durable, and resists swelling and warping, making it ideal for harsher environments and coastal climates. With its stability and smooth surface, Sapele is also used as our Paint Grade wood selection.
Walnut
American Black Walnut hardwood is naturally darker in color, much like an espresso brown. It is strong, hard and exceptionally durable, without being excessively heavy. When sealed there is a dark contrast from the heartwood and sapwood offering an exotic finish. Although Walnut is naturally dark it has the propensity to lighten over time.
White Oak
White Oak hardwood has a medium brown grain with an olive cast, while the sapwood ranges from a light cream to tan. Its moisture movement is medium to high and it has a good density with a medium to coarse texture. White Oak is more resistant to weathering issues than Red Oak.
Cedar
Cedar is a light, reddish-brown softwood. This wood is softer than most hardwoods. Cedar’s fine, straight grain and uniform texture provides a smooth surface ideal for staining, although it requires more maintenance than Mahogany. Cedar remains stable and resists warping, making it a reliable and attractive lighter option.
Premium Alder
Alder is a light brown with a yellow or reddish tinge. The wood is fairly straight grained with a uniform texture. Alder is a relatively soft hardwood of medium density that has low bending strength, shock resistance, and stiffness. Premium Alder captures the grain beauty without the rustic feel of open knots, will contain some closed knots.
JAMB DEPTH
Jamb depth depends on the thickness of the walls into which the door unit will be placed. Most walls are studded out with 2×4’s or 2×6’s, and so, our most common jamb depths are 4 5/8 in. and 6 5/8 in., respectively. Usually the jamb is flush with the interior and exterior wall covering, with the seam covered by casing. We have standard jamb depths of 4 5/8 in. 5 1/4 in. 5 1/2 in. 6 5/8 in. 7 1/2 in. If you wish for us to provide a jamb depth different from one of our standard options, please contact us. Jamb Depth Dimension
Threshold Color
You may choose between two different finishes for the aluminum threshold cover plate: black or grey.
Swing Configuration
When you order your pivot-hung entryway, you have options when it comes to how the door will swing. Though 99% of the time, you will want a door that swings into the interior (in-swing), we are set up to build jambs where the door swings out to the exterior (pushing your visitors out of the pathway of your tremendous door). However, when it comes to right-hand or left-hand swing, the layout of your installation site will determine the swing configuration. To determine if the door is left-hand or right-hand in-swing, imagine you are looking at the door from the street. If the pivot point is on the left side, it is a left-hand in-swing. If the pivot point is on the right-hand side, the door is a right-hand in-swing. Diagram of Potential Configurations Swing configuration defines the direction of the door motion and from which side the pivot is placed
