Every opening is different. Measurements, frame condition, floor level, door material and hardware can change the best approach. Send us a few details or photos and we can help you plan the next step.

Planning the right door

Start with the opening and how the door needs to work in everyday use. Then choose the material, finish, glass and hardware around those practical requirements. This helps avoid choosing a door first and discovering later that the frame, threshold or opening direction needs extra work.
