An elegant, symmetrical design thatadds texture and drama to your entryway. The Montauk Herringbone Front Door is available in over twenty wood speciesfor the ultimate custom look.
A twist on the chevron motif: the Montauk Herringbone Door brings texture and charisma to your entryway. With its herringbone panel and solid wood construction, it's one of our most popular pivot door designs and we're pleased to introduce it as an entry door. Herringbone patterns showcase the unique grain pattern of real wood, for a distinctive and elevated entryway.
The Montauk door is built with solid wood and traditional deep joinery for extraordinary beauty and longevity. Handbuilt by our team of skilled artisans, our doors carry their passion and pride. Not only will you never need to replace your door, you'll never want to.
We offer more customization options for your front door than anywhere else on the Internet. Choose from over twenty wood species, ranging from American classics to rare and exotic imports. Add sidelights or a transom window for an even more beautiful entryway.
The finishing touches are just as premium. Our oak threshold and adjustable silicone fin preserves your door jamb. And we offer three jamb options, including door-matched wood for a bespoke final look. Finished with high quality oil hardwax finishes, our entry doors have a soft, luminous sheen and are easier to maintain over time.
Skilled artisans make all our doors by hand onsite in Gig Harbor, a small seaport town on the Puget Sound in Washington State.
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.
Transom & Sidelights
RealCraft's Transom and Sidelights are made with the same wood as your door, for a cohesive and premium look.
What is a transom?
A transom window refers to a window above a door slab, typically (but not always) separated by a transverse horizontal structural beam.
What are sidelights?
Sidelights are narrow windows that flank a door slab. You can have one side light or two, one on each side of the door. You can also combine one or two sidelights with a transom. Sidelights make your entry door look more visually striking.
Benefits of transom and sidelights:
Our transoms and sidelights are built with the same wood species as your door, for a beautiful custom look
Lets in more natural light
Improves curb appeal
Increases home value
Completely transforms your entryway
Please note that RealCraft Sidelights and Transoms are non-operable, meaning they do not open or close. To add an operable side light or transom, please contact our custom sales department at253-853-3811.
Door Handing & Swing Direction
To determine door handing: Stand with your back to the side of the jamb where the pivot will be closest to. 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.
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.
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.
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.
