BUYING HELPS
Below are a number of explanations to help in determining what options you will choose from the drop down menus.
Net Frame Size
Use the information below when choosing a Frame Width and a Frame Height. We sell doors by frame size, the actual door size will be less than the frame size.
Available Widths and Heights
For pre-built doors, you may choose from the following frame widths and heights:
FRAME
WIDTH |
FRAME

31 1/2″ | 81 3/4″ | 3″ |
37 1/2″ | 81 3/4″ | 3″ |
43 1/2″ | 81 3/4″ | 4″ |
49 1/2″ | 81 3/4″ | 6″ |
31 1/2″ | 97 3/4″ | 3″ |
37 1/2″ | 97 3/4″ | 3″ |
43 1/2″ | 97 3/4″ | 4″ |
49 1/2″ | 97 3/4″ | 6″ |
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 50 inches wide, order a frame width of 49 1/2 inches.
Frame Height
The Frame Height is the actual height of the door jamb. 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 97 1/2 inches tall, order a frame height of 97 inches.

Wood Type
Choosing a Wood Species…
For pre-built doors we offer four wood types: Mahogany (Sapele), Walnut, Paint Grade, White Oak. If you would like a greater range of wood types to choose from, you will need to order a customized exterior door.
As you decide which wood you’ll choose, the most important factor is how the wood species goes with the overall design of the door and your project. If you have specific questions about what wood to choose that are not answered here, feel free to reach out to us
Our Wood Selection for Pre-built

Mahogany (Sapele) Veneer
This exotic reddish-brown wood is desired for its rarity, strength, and beauty. It is very durable, and resists swelling and warping, making it ideal for marine uses and high moisture areas.
Walnut Veneer
Walnut is straight-grained in the trunk of the tree, but possesses a wavy grain in wood found closer to the roots. Walnut wood finishes beautifully, holding paint and stain exceptionally well.
White Oak Veneer
White Oak is valued for its light and even color.
Paint Grade
Jamb Depth
For pre-built interior pivot doors, we offer three jamb depths: 4 5/8 in., 5 1/2 in., 6 5/8 in. Jamb depth depends on the thickness of the walls into which the door unit will be placed. Most interior walls are studded out with 2×4’s. Usually the jamb is flush with the interior wall covering, with the seam covered by casing.
Available Jamb Depths*
- 4 5/8 in.
- 5 1/2 in.
- 6 5/8 in.
*You will need to order from our Customizable line if you need a different jamb depth from what is available above.
Deadbolt and Handleset Prep
Single and Double Bore
We will pre-drill the door for a handle with 2 3/8 in. or 2 3/4 in. backset. Standard bore diameter is 2 1/8 in. The term “backset” refers to the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the bore hole. See the diagram below for more details.
Mortise
We can mortise the door for many entry lock sets. Please contact us directly to configure your specific requirements.
Other
If you wish for us to prep for a handle you purchase from another vendor, you will need to provide us with the specifications for the handle or lockset so we can properly prep. Alternatively, you may decide that you want to wait and have a local carpenter prep the for the door handle. In that case, you do not need to provide us with the hardware specifications.
Standard Handle Prep

NOTE: All jamb strikes are prepped on-site to ensure proper alignment after installation and any necessary adjustments.
Swing Configuration
Swing configuration defines the direction of the door motion and from which side the pivot is placed. You can choose either a Right-hand Swing or a 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 swing, imagine you are looking at the door from the outside. If the pivot point is on the left side, it is a left-hand swing. If the pivot point is on the right-hand side, the door is a right-hand swing.
Use the diagram below to help identify which configuration will serve your project best.

Pivot Hardware
Free-swing Pivot Hinge
Our standard pivot hardware is a durable, specially engineered free-swing pivot hinge. This pivot hardware works for a wide range of doors, from small to very large. No matter the door size, the free-swing pivot hinge allows for effortless door operation. The hardware incorporates sets of ball-bearings for smooth, long-lasting performance. The door swings freely around the pivot point. There are no springs or tension pulling the door closed.
Pivot Placement
The pivot placement is the distance the pivot pin will be placed away from the vertical edge of the rough opening. Pre-built doors have set pivot placements.
