Surf Up To Your New Front Door

Looking for a front door that’s modern, original, and sure to set you apart? Meet the Zuma design. Diagonal glass planks are set in a solid wood frame. Named after Zuma Beach, famed for its dynamic, rugged surf, the Zuma door is different—in a good way. This one’s for the mavericks out there. 

This front door is available in over twenty wood species. No matter your design style, we have a species that works for you. From rustic Knotty Alder to luxurious Wenge--choose the one that fits your vibe. We'll select each board by hand for the most beautiful final look. Even though the design is ultra-current, our construction methods are traditional and time-honored. Mortise and tenon joinery ensures that your front door will last for decades. 

Our exterior doors feature an exclusive white oak threshold and adjustable silicone sweep to prevent water damage to the jamb. And we offer three options for door jambs, including the same species as the door for a bespoke look. Sidelights and transoms with insulated glass can be added to complete your entryway. Choose from either frameless modern or traditional framed designs for these add-ons. 

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.

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.

We offer American or European hinge placement of the ball bearing hinges. American-style hinge placement spaces out the hinges evenly. The European-style puts two hinges high on the door and one at the bottom. We recommend European style hinge placement, it is the strongest option. This placement allows the two upper hinges to better bear the load of the door, thus preventing sag over time.

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.

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.

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 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.
