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 new High Panel Swinging Door is the perfect place to record ideas. It features a functional blackboard on the top panel, and your choice of Flat Panel or Tongue and Groove on the bottom panel. Available in twenty wood species, this door is for the dreamers, artists, and doers.
Let your creative juices flow with this swinging door. The High Panel Blackboard Swinging Door combines traditional construction with a practical metal blackboard top panel. The lower half of the door face is available in either Flat Panel or Tongue and Groove Style. Choose Flat Panel for a more minimal look, or Tongue and Groove for more texture. The two panels are separated by a mid-rail and the door is made with solid wood and mortise and tenon joinery. Of course the main feature of this door is the blackboard panel, ideal for children and adults alike. From menu planning and grocery shopping to drawing to Tic-Tac-Toe, this door helps you make plans, record ideas, and just have fun. The classic vibe of this door works perfectly with many décor styles, including:
Traditional Décor
Vintage Décor
Rustic Décor
Farmhouse Décor
Handmade by expert craftsman and built to order, this door carries the passion and expertise of the men and women who made it. If you order it pre-hung, it comes with a wood jamb in the same wood species for a coordinated look and easier installation.
Wood Species
We offer twenty wood species, with a wide range from domestic hardwoods to exotic imports. This way you can create a custom door that suits your own unique style. Customer favorites for this door design include:
European Beech
Sapele Mahogany
Knotty Alder
White Oak Quarter Sawn
Can't find the wood species you are looking for? We can source custom wood species upon request!
Please note: blackboard panel is only on the front face of the door, not the back. To add a second blackboard panel on the back, please call us at 1-800-694-5977.
Skilled artisans make all our doors by hand onsite in Gig Harbor, a small seaport town on the Puget Sound in Washington State.
For frequently asked questions about choosing a door and hardware, see our FAQ page. If you're not sure what species is right for your space, or want to see the wood in person, you can order samples here.
Please note that doors will ship separately from hardware when purchased together. Doors are pictured with hardware for context. Casing and/or decorative trim are not included with pre-hung doors.
We designed these doors with interior applications in mind. We don't recommend exterior use, and can't guarantee against warping or damage if you install your door outside. To have this door specially crafted for exterior use, call us at 1-253-243-3343 and we’ll be happy to help!
If you wish to customize the door even further, we can make your dream door a reality! Please understand that customization will add to the lead time. If you need more than 10 doors, or if your project requires special consideration, please call 1-253-243-3343.

Door Handing and Inswing/Outswing
Door handing is determined from the outside of a room. If the hinges are on the left side, the door has left handing. If the door swings into the room (away from you, standing outside the room), it is a left-hand inswing door. If it swings toward you, out of the room, it is a left-hand outswing door. The opposite is true of right hand doors – the hinges will be on the right side. If the door swings into the room (away from you), it is a right-hand inswing door. If it swings toward you, out of the room, it is a right-hand outswing door.
In cases where there isn’t a clear “inside” or “outside” to determine handing (i.e., the door connects two rooms), open the door and stand with your back against the hinges. If the door is on your left, it’s a left-handed door. If the door is on your right, it’s right-handed. If you are still unsure, don't worry! We'll be happy to help you make sure you select the right handing. Just give us a call at 1-800-694-5977, or click the chat bubble on the right to chat with one of our customer care agents!
Standard interior swinging door slabs are typically 36” x 80.” But widths between 28" and 32" are also common. If your interior door is taller than 80 inches or wider than 36 inches, the thickness should be 1 ¾ inches. Commercial swinging doors are subject to ADA compliance and may require different dimensions.
For pre-hung doors, you will need to know the rough opening measurement. To calculate the rough opening, measure the width from the inside of the side studs at the top, bottom, and middle of the door frame. Use the smallest of the three measurements, if any variance occurs. Next, measure the height from the floor to the header on the left, center, and right. Again, you will use the smallest of these three measurements, if any variance occurs. Measure the thickness of the wall by using the smallest measurement of the exposed drywall.
For special applications, please call our customer care team at 1-800-694-5977 to make sure you choose the correct size.
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.
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.
Clear Satin Eurofinish by Osmo: A high-end hand-rubbed hardwax oil that conditions, seals, and finishes the wood.
Oil Stain EuroFinish by Osmo: A high-end hand-rubbed hardwax oil that stains, seals, and finishes the wood.
