A Versatile Swing Door For Your Creative Side

Our Magnetic Sliding Chalkboard Door is a must-have swinging door for creative types. It's also perfect for kids' playrooms or bedrooms, as it gives them a place to draw that won't ruin the wall paint. Plus the magnetized surface allows for play with magnets, too. We also love it as a pantry door--you can write your grocery list and weekly menu on the door for easy reference. 

The chalkboard is surrounded by a simple solid wood frame, built with mortise and tenon joinery, so you know it’s built to last. The back of the door has a plain wood panel, but you can add a second chalkboard if you would like--call us at 1-800-694-5977. Plus the door is available in twenty wood species. You can opt for a luxurious exotic wood like Wenge or Padauk, or keep things classic with White Oak or Walnut. We especially like lighter woods with the dark chalkboard for a contrast. Customer favorites for this door include: 

• Knotty Alder 
• Western Red Cedar 
• Plain Sawn White Oak 
• Sapele Mahogany

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.

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.
