It’s available in an array of customization options, including twenty solid woods to choose from. Give your home a stunning upgrade with this Double French Dutch Entry Door.

This door is the combination of two famous door innovations: a Dutch door, and a French door. The Dutch door adds practicality and functionality, thanks to its farmhouse origins. And the French door combined a door with a window—the French themselves call it a “window door.” The result of marrying these two designs together? Old World elegance with practical utility. Now you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other—you can have both.
In keeping with the traditional design, this door is also crafted from solid wood using traditional joinery. Because there’s just no substitute for the Real thing. A solid wood entry door will last longer and look beautiful for many years to come. This door is available in twenty different wood species, from Classic American hardwoods like Ash and Alder, to exotic, richly colored woods like Wenge or Sapele Mahogany. We use insulated glass in your choice of Clear or Crystal Etched (frosted) so you can either maximize natural light or opt for more privacy. And our French doors are always made with real leaded glass panes—no fakery or drawn-on lines here. Plus it comes with your choice of three optional shelf configurations. Choose from a modern frameless look or a framed, traditional style for optional sidelights and transom windows. With multiple customization options, we can build the Double French Dutch Door that’s perfect for your unique style.
Features:
Skilled artisans make all our doors by hand onsite in Gig Harbor, a small seaport town on the Puget Sound in Washington State.
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.
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.
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:
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.
Our standard entry hinges are 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" ball-bearing hinges available in:
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.
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 and our recommendation for Dutch doors.
There are two options for jamb material:
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 exterior casing/trim is not included. 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.
All our Dutch doors come with a Dutch bolt to keep both leaves of the door together when needed. The Dutch bolt is not pre-installed on the door because it should only be placed after you hang the door, to allow for variances in site conditions.
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.
Please note that any door or door unit that measures more than 90 inches in both width and height will be shipped as a kit with jamb legs disassembled and side light glass separate. This is done to comply with crate size limits on freight trucks.
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:
