This Craftsman T Window Dutch Door is minimal with a traditional touch. With its elegant proportions, symmetry, and clean lines, this Dutch entry door is tailor-made for those with classic style. Crafted from solid wood and available in twenty wood species. Shown here in Rustic White Oak.
This door design was a natural starting point when it came time for us to craft our Dutch Door collection. The single glass panel window at the top makes for an open and appealing look, while the T-shaped accent below keeps things traditional. One of our most versatile designs, this Craftsman T Window Dutch Door would be perfect for traditional, classic, farmhouse, or even minimalist homes.
True to its name, the Craftsman T Window Dutch Door is made with deep joinery and celebrates the beauty of true, solid wood. This door is available in your choice of flat or raised panels and with three optional shelf configurations, so you can customize it to fit your unique style. We have twenty wood species to choose from for a truly customized look. Opt for a domestic hardwood like Hickory or Walnut, or go for something exotic and vibrant like Wenge or Sapele Mahogany.
Dutch doors are ideal for homeowners with small children and/or pets, because they allow for fresh air—or accepting deliveries—while keeping kids and pets safely inside. If you’re looking for maximum brightness, go for Clear glass. If you want more privacy or softer natural light, choose our Crystal Etched glass, which has a frosted finish. Choose from a modern frameless look or a framed, traditional style for optional sidelights and transom windows.
Features:
Solid wood construction
Twenty wood species to choose from
Insulated glass panel in either clear or Crystal Etched (frosted) glass
Your choice of high or low Dutch cut
Optional shelf or double shelf
Nine hinge options
Kerfed weatherstripping
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.
Wood Species
RealCraft offers twenty different wood species, ranging from traditional to exotic.
One of the reasons we love real wood so much is that it carries the character of its natural habitat. Wood species respond differently to humidity and temperature conditions. If you aren't sure which wood species to pick, call us at 1-800-694-5977.
Note that exterior Cedar doors come with a Douglas Fir jamb.
Glass Options
Glass Options
Our Dutch doors come with nine possible glass configurations on the upper door leaf. Choose a single pane for the most contemporary look, or opt for divided lights with mullions to make it more traditional, up to nine lights in all. We offer four glass types, including two Solarban variations. Solar Ban helps to regulate the temperature of your home by preventing heat transfer. Glass choices include:
Clear Insulated
Satin Insulated
Clear Solarban Low-E 60
Satin Solarban Low-E 60
We also offer custom glass options upon request.
Hinge Style & Placement
Our standard entry hinges are 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" ball-bearing hinges available in:
Standard Steel with multiple finish options
Solid Brass
Pure Stainless Steel
If your door will be an outswing door--especially in coastal areas--we recommend stainless steel or brass hinges to prevent corrosion.
Our Simonswerk Tectus concealed hinges come in pairs and are three-dimensionally adjustable: side +/- 3mm, height, +/- 3mm, compression +/- 1.5mm. They are available in multiple finishes and are a top-of-the-line, completely concealed hinge system with maintenance-free slide bearings. Choose this door hinge for a sleek, upscale finish.
Door Handing & Swing Direction
To determine door handing: Stand with your back to the jamb to be hinged. Then let your arm be the door and note whether the door swings to your right or your left. If it swings to your left, it is a left-handed door. If it swings to your right, it is a right-handed door.
To determine “inswing” or “outswing”: First, stand outside your house. Then, when your door opens does it open into the house? Then it is an inswing door. Does it open out from the house? Then it is an outswing door.
Note: Inswing doors are more typical for entry doors and our recommendation for Dutch doors.
Pre-Hung Door Jambs
There are three options for jamb material:
Hemlock, the industry standard
Douglas Fir, an upgraded option
Door Matched wood, for a premium look
Jamb measurements: Door width plus 2 3/8" (plus another 1/2" with concealed hinges)
Minimum rough opening: Door width plus 2 3/4" (plus another 1/2" with concealed hinges)
Please note that exterior casing/trim is not included. Cedar exterior doors come with a Douglas Fir jamb.
Pre-Hung Door Threshold & Sweep
Pre-hung doors come with an exclusive white oak threshold. Our white oak threshold offers superior water protection and wear resistance. We use a pure silicone, adjustable Swiss weather sweep set into the bottom of the door. Kerfed weatherstripping is standard. If you need an ADA threshold, call us.
Dutch Bolt
All our Dutch doors come with a Dutch bolt to keep both leaves of the door together when needed. The Dutch bolt is not pre-installed on the door because it should only be placed on the door after you hang the door, to allow for variances in site conditions.
Door Maintenance
Maintenance is key to protecting your investment. If you live in a place that has big temperature changes between seasons, you may need to tighten or lubricate your hinges from time to time. You should also adjust the door sweep to make sure it keeps the door sealed against the elements over time.
Our water-based top coat finish will need a refresh every 1-3 years depending on your door's exposure to elements. Large temperature & humidity changes, direct exposure to sunlight, and seaside environments all can affect how often a door needs refreshing. Expect to fully strip and refinish your door every 6-7 years.
If your door gets dirty (weather, pets, children, etc.) you can clean it with a gentle soap and water. If you have to clean the hinges for any reason, make sure they dry thoroughly.

Ordering a pre-hung door means the door jamb is included. Therefore measurements for pre-hung doors should take into account the overall Unit Measurements and the Minimum Rough Opening where it will be installed.
Calculating Unit Width Measurements for Pre-hung Doors
With no sidelights: Door Width + 2-3/8" for Unit Width + 3/8" per side minimum for Rough Opening Width
With one sidelight: Door Width + Sidelight Width + 4-1/2" for Unit Width + 3/8" per side minimum for Rough Opening Width
With two sidelights: Door Width + Sidelight Widths + 6-3/4" for Unit Width + 3/8" per side minimum for Rough Opening Width
Calculating Unit Height Measurements for Pre-hung Doors
With no transom: Door Height + 2-5/8" for Unit Height + 3/8" minimum for Rough Opening Height
With transom: Door Height + Transom Height + 4-5/8" for Unit Height + 3/8" minimum for Rough Opening Height
Please note that any door or door unit that measures more than 90 inches in both width and height will be shipped as a kit with jamb legs disassembled and side light glass separate. This is done to comply with crate size limits on freight trucks.
We highly recommend adding a clear or stain finish to your door to protect it and make sure that it is eligible to be covered by our warranty. A clear finish not only protects your door, it also enhances its beauty and brings out the color and detail of the grain. Stain finishes can intensify or adapt the color of the wood and provide additional protection against fading. Visit our wood species page to learn more.
We offer the following finish options:
White Primer: Added to Paint Grade Hardwood. For this option, we use only high-quality hardwoods like European Beech or Red Grandis. These species provide a smooth surface for paint.
Luxe Clear Satin Finish: An oil finish base, sealed with a satin-texture water-based top coat.
Luxe Oil Stain Finish: A pigmented oil finish base, sealed with a satin-texture water-based top coat.
