At RealCraft Carriage Doors we put quality and craftsmanship above all else. From the moment you call us to the day your door is installed, we're here to make your dream doors a reality. Our handcrafted carriage and entry doors have been featured in some of the most popular TV shows and magazines in the industry. Each carriage door is made from premium wood and built by skilled artisans in the Pacific Northwest.
Now you don't have to choose a farmhouse-style door to get the Dutch door functionality you love. Our new Chevron Paneled Dutch Door With Window is the modern update on this classic door style. Featuring solid wood construction and insulated glass, this door adds an instant 'wow' factor to any home. Available in twenty wood species so you can coordinate seamlessly with your unique style.
The Dutch door, hailing from the Netherlands in the 17th century, is a treasured innovation. Splitting the door slab in half creates unique functionality and versatility. A Dutch door lets natural light and fresh air fill your home while keeping small children and pets safely inside. Plus, Dutch doors add curb appeal and feel extra welcoming to any guest.
And while the Dutch door usually has a farmhouse feeling, our Chevron Dutch Door keeps the functionality you love while adding a modern, sleek update to the design. Now you can get a Dutch door that’s elevated and contemporary, with an elegant chevron motif and single glass panel. Our Dutch Doors are hand-made with solid wood and mortise-and-tenon joinery, which means they’re both beautiful and built to last. We use a solid White Oak threshold with a Silicone swiss sweep for a door system that's extremely water resistant and designed to prevent water damage over time. Just like our other entry doors, this door is available in your choice of twenty wood species. Choose from classic American hardwoods like Walnut or Cherry, or exotic, richly colored woods like Wenge or Padauk. We also offer an optional shelf, reinforced with corbels for a traditional touch. Choose from a modern frameless look or a framed, traditional style for optional sidelights and transom windows. With multiple customizations available, we'll craft the Chevron Dutch Door that’s perfectly suited to your home.

We think this door is ideal for transitional, modern, contemporary, or Scandinavian minimalist styles. It works great as a side door or door to the backyard—but we love it as a front door for a statement-making look.
Skilled artisans make all our doors by hand onsite in Gig Harbor, a small seaport town on the Puget Sound in Washington State.
Dutch Shelf
Our Dutch shelf comes with corbels for support and a classic silhouette. The Dutch shelf is tapered, as shown below, in order to allow for optimal door clearance. There are three Dutch shelf options: you can either opt for an interior shelf, an exterior shelf, or a double-sided shelf. Please note that shelf height will vary slightly depending on the hinge side and/or door handing. Hinge-side shelves will be slightly lower on the door slab than non-hinge side shelves. As shown in the image below, a double sided shelf will be slightly offset because of the nature of the Dutch cut in the door slab.
