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.
The Orion round top door has eight glass lights to let the light in. The bottom of the door features an inset tongue and groove panel for a contemporary look and added practicality. Shown here in Black Walnut.
This stylish update on a French door design combines the beauty of a rounded silhouette with the symmetrical elegance of French style glass. Eight divided glass lights covering the top three quarters of the door panel create a welcoming and brightening effect. The rest of the door is built from solid wood, with an inset tongue and groove panel on the bottom of the door, which adds a practical touch for homeowners with small children or pets who might scratch the glass.
Our doors are made with premium materials. 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 (like Black Walnut) to exotic (like Sapele Mahogany). 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. And we offer door casing in the same species as the door for a perfectly matched final look. Our pre-hung round top doors also come with a frame-out kit to make installation easy and simple.
What we build with is only half the story. How we build is the other. Skilled artisans cut, assemble, and finish our doors by hand. So our doors have an artisanal quality that’s hard to find in a mass-produced world. Plus, our artisans use traditional deep joinery methods so your door is built to last.
This French style round top door is perfect for French farmhouse, traditional, classic, or shabby-chic decor styles. It's the key to creating an entryway that leaves a lasting impression.
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.
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.
All our exterior doors come with insulated glass as standard. For door designs featuring leaded glass, we can also do single panel glass 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.
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 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
Door Width + 2-3/8" for Unit Width + 3/8" per side minimum for Rough Opening Width
Calculating Unit Height Measurements for Pre-hung Doors
Door Height + 2-5/8" for Unit Height + 3/8" minimum for Rough Opening Height
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.
