The Herringbone Dutch Door features a striking herringbone pattern on the lower door leaf for a textured look. A single glass panel on the top leaf is framed in traditional mortise and tenon joinery, creating a balanced and tasteful design.

This unique Dutch door design is a variation on our Chevron door design. The herringbone pattern on the lower door leaf adds geometric interest and displays the full beauty of your chosen wood species. A single glass panel on the upper door leaf balances things out visually while maximizing natural light. This design is versatile enough to work with many design styles, from farmhouse to traditional to Scandinavian. If you’re looking for a door that sets you apart from the neighbors, you’ve found it.
It’s beautiful, and it’s also built to last. This door is built with solid wood—no veneers here! And traditional mortise and tenon joinery. Choose from one of twenty premium wood species—go for a rustic look with Western Red Cedar, or a classically elegant choice like Sapele Mahogany. With a white oak threshold designed to prevent water damage and a coordinating solid wood jamb, this door is made with premium materials from top to bottom. 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.
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:
We also offer custom glass options upon request.

If your door will be an outswing door--especially in coastal areas--we recommend stainless steel or brass hinges to prevent corrosion.

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 i
