These exterior doors with glass windows have all the hallmarks of Craftsman design: clean lines, solid wood, and traditional joinery. Sometimes “the old fashioned way” is the right way if you want a classic. Plus we added an insulated glass panel at the top for more natural light. Shown here in Knotty White Oak.

We take much inspiration from the Arts and Crafts movement from the turn of the twentieth century. This exterior door with glass window has a simple, symmetrical design, featuring two wood panels with a T formation of planks between them, and a glass window above. Optional side lights and transoms are available in two styles: a frameless modern look, or wood-framed for a traditional feel.
The Arts and Crafts movement was a response to industrialization and mass-production. The movement prioritized making things with your own hands and building them to last. At RealCraft, we relate to that. We continue to carry on the craftsman tradition, with our emphasis on quality and beauty.
Our doors are made from premium materials from start to finish. We use insulated glass, available either in etched or clear, so you can choose how private you want the door to be. Choose from twenty different wood species, ranging from traditional to exotic. For this door we would recommend a hardwood like Whie Oak, Cherry, or Black Walnut. We use 100% solid wood—no shortcuts here.
Our exterior doors come with an exclusive white oak threshold and 100% silicone Swiss door sweep, a combination that prevents water damage to the jamb. We offer three options for door jambs, including the same species as the door for a cohesive look. Because we believe a thing that’s worth doing is worth doing right.
The materials are only half the equation. The other half is who makes the doors. Skilled artisans cut, assemble, and finish our doors by hand. As a result, our doors have an artisanal quality that’s hard to replicate. Plus, our artisans use traditional deep joinery methods to add to your door’s longevity.
We think this door is ideal for Craftsman, traditional, Scandinavian or transitional décor styles. It works well as a side door, or door to the backyard—but we really love it as a front door. Install it wherever you want your door to make a statement.
Skilled artisans make all our doors by hand onsite in Gig Harbor, a small seaport town on the Puget Sound in Washington State.
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.
When selecting a glass option for this door, keep in mind how private the space is. Choose the standard clear glass for full transparency or the etched option for a little more privacy.
We also offer custom glass options upon request.
Our standard entry hinges are 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" ball-bearing hinges available in:
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.
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.
There are three options for jamb material:
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 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.
Our doors are designed to be low maintenance. 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 Osmo oil hardwax finishes may need a refresh every 1-3 years depending on their exposure to elements. Large temperature & humidity changes, direct exposure to sunlight, and seaside environments all can affect how often a door needs refreshing. Unlike plastic based varnishes, Our Osmo oil hardwax finishes don’t chip or flake off, so you don’t have to sand them to refinish. Simply clean the wood surface and reapply the finish, removing excess and rubbing in for best results.
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.
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 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. Visit our wood species page to learn more.
