This Craftsman Traditional Dutch Door creates a stately first impression. This door comes with the exclusive option to add contrasting wood as clavos and sticking around glass panels for a bespoke look. Customize the design with nine different glass options on the upper door leaf.
A Traditional Dutch Door With Unmatched Customization
The Craftsman Nine Light Dutch Door features nine divided lights with traditional wood mullions. This door comes with the exclusive option to add contrast wood to the clavos and sticking to further emphasize the beauty of real wood. The clavos are decorative dowels that heighten the Craftsman look, while sticking are the small wood pieces to frame around each pane of glass. These contrast accents are available in four species: Walnut, Padauk, Maple, and Wenge. A classic panel on the lower half of the door completes this timeless design. If you’re looking for a Dutch door with a stately, traditional look, this is the one for you.
Customize the look and feel of your door with one of twenty different wood species options. From rustic Knotty Alder to luxurious Wenge, you can make this design fit your own style. You can also customize the door by adding a Dutch shelf on one or both sides of the door. Plus, two insulated glass styles—Clear or Etched—allow you to control how private the door is. Choose from a modern frameless look or a framed, traditional style for optional sidelights and transom windows.
Dutch doors are ideal for homeowners with small children and/or pets, because they allow for fresh air—or accepting deliveries—while keeping kids and pets safely inside. If you’re looking for maximum brightness, go for Clear glass. If you want more privacy or softer natural light, choose our Crystal Etched glass, which has a frosted finish.

Skilled artisans make all our doors by hand onsite in Gig Harbor, a small seaport town on the Puget Sound in Washington State.
Dutch Shelf
Our Dutch shelf comes with corbels for support and a classic silhouette. The Dutch shelf is tapered, as shown below, in order to allow for optimal door clearance. There are three Dutch shelf options: you can either opt for an interior shelf, an exterior shelf, or a double-sided shelf. Please note that shelf height will vary slightly depending on the hinge side and/or door handing. Hinge-side shelves will be slightly lower on the door slab than non-hinge side shelves. As shown in the image below, a double sided shelf will be slightly offset because of the nature of the Dutch cut in the door slab.
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.
Note that exterior Cedar doors come with a Douglas Fir jamb.
Glass Options
Glass Options
Our Dutch doors come with nine possible glass configurations on the upper door leaf. Choose a single pane for the most contemporary look, or opt for divided lights with mullions to make it more traditional, up to nine lights in all. We offer four glass types, including two Solarban variations. Solar Ban helps to regulate the temperature of your home by preventing heat transfer. Glass choices include:
Clear Insulated
Satin Insulated
Clear Solarban Low-E 60
Satin Solarban Low-E 60
We also offer custom glass options 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.
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 th
