Our standard delivery time for a RealCraft Round Top Door is 10-14 weeks. However, the timeframe may vary depending on customization requests and current demand. We recommend reaching out to our team for the most up-to-date lead times.
The Polaris Door, named after the North Star, is the centerpiece of our round top door collection. It features a circular window with four divided glass lights. The rest of the door is made of a vertical tongue and groove panel, in a solid wood panel. The combination of clean lines and elegant proportions make this door a stunning addition to any entryway.
Not only do we design our doors beautifully, we also make them with premium materials. Choose from twenty different wood species and multiple finish options for a combination that’s unique to you. 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-matched wood casing for round top doors, which creates a bespoke, cohesive look. Our pre-hung round top doors also come with a frame-out kit to make installation easy and simple.
But the materials are only one part of the story. The other part is who makes them. Skilled artisans cut, assemble, and finish our doors by hand. So our doors have an artisanal quality that’s hard to replicate. Other companies prioritize cost efficiency—but we prioritize beauty and durability. That’s why our artisans use traditional techniques like mortise and tenon joinery, for a door that’s just as strong as it is beautiful.
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.

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:
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.
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:
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 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.
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.
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:
