Construction and materials
JELD-WEN offers a diverse range of exterior doors designed to enhance both the aesthetics and security of your home. These doors are crafted with a variety of materials and construction methods to suit different needs and preferences, from custom designs to fire-rated and entry door solutions.
The construction of JELD-WEN exterior doors emphasizes durability and performance. Key construction features often include:
- Core Construction: Depending on the specific door model, cores can be solid or hollow. Solid cores, often made from engineered wood, composite, or wood, provide enhanced insulation, sound dampening, and a more substantial feel. Hollow cores, typically found in some panel doors, offer a lighter-weight and more cost-effective option.
- Stile and Rail Construction: Many JELD-WEN doors utilize a traditional stile and rail construction, where vertical stiles and horizontal rails form the frame. This method is known for its structural integrity and can be found in panel and Dutch doors.
- Panel Design: Exterior doors feature a variety of panel designs, from traditional raised or flat panels to more contemporary styles. These panels contribute to the door's visual appeal and can be made from materials like wood, composite, or glass.
- Frame and Jambs: Doors are typically fitted into robust frames and jambs, often made from wood, composite materials, or even metal for fire-rated applications. These components ensure a secure fit and proper sealing against the elements.
- Insulation: For energy efficiency, many JELD-WEN exterior doors incorporate insulation within their core. This can include foam insulation or strategically designed air pockets to reduce heat transfer.
The materials used in JELD-WEN exterior doors are selected for their performance, durability, and aesthetic qualities. These may include:
- Wood: A traditional and versatile material, JELD-WEN offers exterior doors in various wood species, such as pine, fir, and oak. These can be finished with stains or paints to match existing architectural styles. Wood doors offer natural beauty and can be custom-designed.
- Composite Materials: Engineered wood composites and fiberglass are frequently used for their resistance to warping, cracking, and decay. Fiberglass doors are particularly noted for their durability, low maintenance, and ability to mimic the look of wood while offering superior performance in harsh weather conditions.
- Steel: For enhanced security and fire resistance, JELD-WEN offers steel exterior doors. These are often constructed with a steel skin over a solid or composite core, providing robust protection and meeting stringent fire-rating standards.
- Glass: Many JELD-WEN exterior doors incorporate glass elements, including decorative glass inserts, sidelites, and full glass panels. These can be single-pane, double-pane, or triple-pane for improved energy efficiency and sound insulation. Options for tempered or impact-resistant glass are also available for safety and security.
- Hardware: While not always part of the door construction itself, hardware such as hinges, locks, and handles are critical components. JELD-WEN doors are designed to accommodate a wide range of hardware for security and functional purposes.
JELD-WEN's product line includes specific types of exterior doors tailored to unique needs:
- Custom Doors: For homeowners seeking a unique look, JELD-WEN provides custom exterior door options, allowing for specific dimensions, materials, panel configurations, and glass designs.
- Fire-Rated Doors: These doors are engineered and tested to meet specific fire-resistance ratings, providing an essential safety feature for certain applications. They are typically constructed with specialized materials and internal components to slow the spread of fire and smoke.
- Entry Doors: The primary entry door to a home is a focal point and a critical security element. JELD-WEN offers a wide selection of entry doors in various styles, materials, and finishes to complement any home's architecture.
- Dutch Doors: Known for their distinctive split design, Dutch doors allow the top and bottom halves to be opened independently, offering versatility for ventilation and interaction.
- Panel Doors: These classic doors are characterized by their stiles, rails, and panels, offering a traditional aesthetic that can be adapted to various home styles.
- Barn Doors: While often used for interior applications, JELD-WEN also offers exterior barn door systems, providing a rustic and distinctive look for porches, patios, or as accent features.
Glass Options
JELD-WEN offers a variety of glass options to enhance the aesthetic and functional qualities of their exterior doors. These options are designed to cater to diverse design preferences and performance needs, allowing homeowners to customize their entryways.
The available glass types include:
- Clear Glass: This is a standard, transparent glass that allows maximum light transmission and offers unobstructed views. It is a versatile choice suitable for a wide range of architectural styles.
- Frosted Glass: Frosted glass provides privacy by obscuring the view while still allowing light to pass through. This option is ideal for areas where a balance between natural light and privacy is desired, such as entryways or doors leading to bathrooms or side yards.
- Obscure Glass: Similar to frosted glass, obscure glass offers enhanced privacy. JELD-WEN offers various obscure glass patterns, each with a different level of light diffusion and visual distortion to meet specific privacy requirements.
- Decorative Glass: This category encompasses a range of styles, including etched, textured, and beveled glass. Decorative glass adds a unique artistic element to the door, creating a focal point and enhancing curb appeal. Options may include intricate patterns, geometric designs, or stained glass-inspired inserts.
- Low-E (Low-Emissivity) Glass: Low-E glass is an energy-efficient option that has a microscopically thin, transparent coating. This coating reflects infrared light (heat), helping to keep homes cooler in the summer by reflecting solar heat gain and warmer in the winter by reflecting indoor heat back into the room. This can contribute to reduced energy bills.
- Tempered Glass: Tempered glass is a safety glass that is four to five times stronger than standard glass. It is heat-treated to increase its strength and resistance to breakage. If it does break, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pebble-like pieces, significantly reducing the risk of injury.
- Laminated Glass: Laminated glass consists of two or more panes of glass bonded together with a plastic interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral (PVB). This construction makes it highly resistant to impact and penetration. If broken, the glass fragments adhere to the interlayer, remaining largely in place and offering an added layer of security and sound insulation.
JELD-WEN also provides options for insulated glass units (IGUs), often referred to as double-pane or triple-pane glass. These units consist of two or more panes of glass separated by a sealed space filled with air or an inert gas like argon. IGUs significantly improve thermal performance by reducing heat transfer, contributing to better insulation and energy efficiency.
Frame Options
JELD-WEN offers a diverse range of frame options to complement their exterior door selections, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and robust performance. These frame systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with their various door styles, including custom, fire-rated, entry, Dutch, and panel doors.
The primary frame materials available are:
- Wood: JELD-WEN provides high-quality wood frames that offer a classic and versatile look. These frames can be stained or painted to match any exterior design. They are typically constructed from durable species suitable for exterior applications.
- Composite: Composite frames offer enhanced durability and resistance to rot, decay, and insects. They are engineered for longevity and require minimal maintenance, making them a practical choice for many homeowners.
- Fiberglass: Fiberglass frames are known for their strength, impact resistance, and low maintenance. They are resistant to warping and cracking and can mimic the look of wood without the associated upkeep.
Beyond material choices, JELD-WEN frames can also be configured with specific features:
- Primed: Many frame options come primed, providing a ready surface for painting to achieve the desired color and finish that complements the door and surrounding architecture.
- Unfinished: For those who prefer to select their own finishing products, unfinished frames are available. This allows for complete customization to match specific design palettes.
Specific to JELD-WEN's exterior door categories, frame options are designed to meet the unique demands of each type:
- Custom and Entry Doors: These often feature robust frame systems designed for security and weather resistance, with a wide array of material and finish choices to enhance curb appeal.
- Fire-Rated Doors: Frames for fire-rated doors are engineered to meet stringent safety standards. They are typically constructed from materials and designs that contribute to the overall fire resistance rating of the door system. Specific details on materials and construction for fire-rated frames would be available upon further inquiry.
- Dutch Doors: Frames for Dutch doors are designed to accommodate the unique two-part opening mechanism, ensuring proper fit and function for both the upper and lower door panels.
- Panel Doors and Barn Doors: While panel doors utilize more traditional frame types, barn doors, often mounted externally, may have frame considerations that relate to their mounting hardware and the overall aesthetic of the opening.
The specific frame profiles and configurations available may vary by door collection and product line. It is recommended to consult product-specific documentation or a JELD-WEN representative for precise frame details related to a particular door model.
Hardware
JELD-WEN offers a diverse selection of hardware options designed to complement their extensive range of exterior doors. These hardware choices are crucial for both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your entry, Dutch, panel, barn, custom, and fire-rated doors.
The hardware available caters to various styles and security needs. For entry doors, JELD-WEN provides options that enhance curb appeal and offer robust security. This typically includes:
- Locksets: Available in various configurations such as deadbolt and knob combinations, as well as single cylinder deadbolts for enhanced security. Finishes often include popular choices like brushed nickel, polished brass, oil-rubbed bronze, and black, allowing for coordination with exterior color schemes.
- Handlesets: These offer a more decorative and substantial look for entry doors, often paired with a deadbolt. They come in a wide array of designs, from traditional to contemporary, and in the same finish options as locksets.
- Knobs and Levers: Interior and exterior knobs and levers are offered for standard door functions. These are available in various ergonomic designs and finishes to match the overall hardware suite.
- Hinges: While often functional, hinges can also contribute to the door's appearance. Options may include decorative finial hinges for a more traditional look, or standard butt hinges in various finishes.
- Strike Plates and Components: Essential for proper door closure and security, these components are typically included with locksets and deadbolts and are available in matching finishes.
For JELD-WEN's Dutch doors, hardware often includes specific configurations to accommodate the split opening. This might involve:
- Separate locksets and handles for each half of the door, allowing for independent operation of the upper and lower sections.
- Specialized hinges and latches to ensure a secure seal when the door is fully closed.
Barn doors, known for their rustic and sliding functionality, come with their own set of specialized hardware:
- Track Systems: Available in various lengths and styles, including top-mount and side-mount options, with finishes like black, stainless steel, and oil-rubbed bronze.
- Rollers/Wheels: These glide along the track, designed for smooth and quiet operation. Styles can range from industrial to decorative.
- Door Pulls and Handles: Essential for sliding the door open and closed, these are offered in a wide variety of designs and materials to match the barn door's aesthetic.
- Stops and Guides: These components ensure the door operates within its intended path and prevents it from swinging.
Fire-rated doors require specific hardware that meets stringent safety standards. While the aesthetic options may be more limited for these doors, functionality and compliance are paramount. Hardware for fire-rated doors typically includes:
- Fire-rated hinges that are designed to maintain their integrity under high heat conditions.
- Fire-rated locksets and closers that are tested and approved for use with fire-rated assemblies.
Custom doors offer the greatest flexibility in hardware selection, allowing for unique combinations and styles to achieve a truly personalized look. This can include:
- A wide range of decorative knobs, levers, and handles in diverse materials and finishes.
- Specialized locking mechanisms and security features tailored to the homeowner's needs.
Across all JELD-WEN exterior door types, homeowners can expect hardware that is designed for durability and to withstand outdoor elements. Material choices often include solid brass, stainless steel, and other corrosion-resistant metals. Finishes are engineered for longevity and resistance to tarnishing and fading.

Glass Options
Kolbe Windows & Doors offers a variety of glass options to enhance the performance, aesthetics, and functionality of their exterior entry doors. These options cater to different needs, from energy efficiency and light control to privacy and decorative appeal.Glass Performance Options
Kolbe provides several glass packages designed to improve thermal performance, reduce unwanted solar heat gain, and offer UV protection.- Low E Glass: This is a fundamental option for energy efficiency. Low E (low emissivity) coatings are microscopically thin and virtually invisible, but they significantly reduce heat transfer. In colder climates, it helps keep indoor heat from escaping, while in warmer climates, it reflects solar heat away from the building, reducing cooling costs.
- Solar Gain Low E Glass: A specialized type of Low E glass designed to allow more solar heat to enter the home during winter months, further aiding in passive heating. This is particularly beneficial in colder regions.
- Triple Pane Glass: For maximum thermal performance and sound reduction, triple pane glass is available. This configuration includes three panes of glass with two insulating gas-filled spaces between them, creating a superior barrier against heat loss and gain.
- Argon or Krypton Gas Fill: The spaces between glass panes can be filled with inert gases like Argon or Krypton. These gases are denser than air and provide an additional layer of insulation, further enhancing the thermal efficiency of the glass unit.
- Warm Edge Spacer System: This system utilizes advanced spacer materials between the glass panes that reduce the conduction of heat at the edges of the glass unit. This minimizes condensation and improves overall energy performance.
- ENERGY STAR Qualified: Many of Kolbe's glass configurations meet or exceed ENERGY STAR requirements, signifying high levels of energy efficiency.
Glass Privacy and Decorative Options
Beyond performance, Kolbe offers a range of decorative and privacy glass choices to complement the architectural style of the home and provide desired levels of seclusion.- Obscure Glass: This type of glass distorts the view while allowing natural light to pass through. It is ideal for areas where privacy is essential, such as bathrooms or entryways where direct views into the home are not desired.
- Textured Glass: Kolbe offers various textures that can add visual interest and privacy. These textures range from subtle patterns to more pronounced designs, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the door.
- Etched Glass: Available in custom designs or standard patterns, etched glass provides a sophisticated and elegant privacy solution.
- Beveled Glass: Beveled glass inserts can add a touch of traditional elegance with light-reflecting facets.
- Art Glass: For a distinctive look, Kolbe may offer art glass options, which can include hand-crafted designs and unique color compositions.
- Frosted Glass: Similar to obscure glass, frosted glass offers privacy by diffusing light and obscuring the view.
Additional Glass Features
Kolbe's glass options may also include features that enhance durability and convenience.- Tempered Glass: For safety and security, tempered glass is often used. It is stronger than standard glass and designed to break into small, blunt pieces if shattered, reducing the risk of injury.
- Laminated Glass: This type of glass consists of two or more panes of glass bonded together with an interlayer. It offers enhanced security, sound dampening, and UV protection.
- Low Iron Glass: For exceptional clarity and true color rendition, low iron glass can be specified. It minimizes the greenish tint often found in standard clear glass, offering a more transparent view.

Their extensive range includes fiberglass, steel, storm/screen, wood, fire-rated, patio-sliding, and patio entry doors, catering to diverse architectural styles and homeowner preferences.
Fiberglass Doors: These doors are known for their durability and low maintenance. The construction typically involves a rigid composite core, often polyurethane foam, which provides excellent insulation. The exterior surface is molded to replicate the look of natural wood grain or a smooth finish. Fiberglass is resistant to denting, cracking, and warping, making it an ideal choice for various climates.
Steel Doors: Steel doors offer superior security and strength. They are constructed from heavy-gauge steel panels, often filled with a foam insulation core for thermal performance. Many steel doors feature a wood-look embossed finish, providing the aesthetic appeal of wood with the added benefits of steel's resilience. The edges are typically reinforced for added structural integrity.

- Low-E Glass: This is a crucial option for energy efficiency. Low-E (low-emissivity) coatings are microscopically thin, transparent layers applied to the glass surface. They reflect infrared light (heat), helping to keep your home cooler in the summer by reflecting solar heat gain and warmer in the winter by reflecting interior heat back into the room. This can lead to significant energy savings and improved indoor comfort.

Price Tier
Market Position: Mid-Range ($$)
Reeb Millwork's standard fiberglass and steel exterior doors offer a significant upgrade in durability and style over basic options, while still being more accessible than custom wood or high-end architectural designs. They represent a solid balance of performance and investment for most homeowners.
How It Compares: Compared to budget-friendly solid core doors, these Reeb Millwork options provide superior weather resistance and a wider range of design choices. Moving up to premium wood or specialized architectural doors would offer more natural aesthetics or unique customization, but at a substantially higher cost.
Key Value Drivers:
- Material Composition: Constructed from robust fiberglass or steel, offering excellent resistance to denting, warping, and corrosion, outperforming traditional wood doors in harsh weather conditions.
- Longevity and Warranty: Typically backed by a manufacturer's warranty that signifies confidence in their durability and performance over many years, often exceeding the limited warranties found on more basic door types.

Market Position: Premium ($$$)
Reeb Millwork's high-quality wood exterior doors are positioned as a premium choice, offering natural beauty and customization that surpasses standard fiberglass and steel options. They cater to homeowners who prioritize the timeless appeal and unique character of natural wood.
How It Compares: While offering superior aesthetic appeal and a more authentic, natural feel than mid-range fiberglass or steel doors, these premium wood doors come with a higher price point and typically require more maintenance. They provide an elevated look and feel, distinct from the more utilitarian, albeit durable, options in the lower tiers.
Key Value Drivers:
- Material Composition: Crafted from high-grade solid wood species, providing unparalleled natural beauty, warmth, and the ability to be stained or painted to match any décor. This natural material offers a tactile and visual richness not found in manufactured materials.
- Longevity and Warranty: While wood requires proper maintenance for optimal longevity, these doors are built for durability. Warranties typically cover structural integrity, though they may have specific clauses regarding finishing and environmental exposure due to the nature of wood.
- Aesthetic Appeal and Customization: Offers a wide array of wood species, panel configurations, glass options, and the ability for custom profiling and finishing, allowing for truly bespoke entryways that enhance curb appeal significantly.
- Installation Considerations: While installation is generally straightforward for skilled carpenters, the weight and specific handling requirements of solid wood doors might contribute slightly to installation labor considerations compared to lighter fiberglass alternatives.
Best Suited For: Homeowners building or renovating a custom home, historic properties, or those who desire the superior natural beauty and distinct character that only premium wood can provide. This option is ideal for those who appreciate the finer details and are willing to invest in the aesthetic and resale value of their home.

The primary frame material offered is wood, providing a classic and versatile choice that can be stained or painted to match any exterior design. Specific wood species and their associated characteristics are detailed for each door product, influencing durability, grain pattern, and suitability for various climates.
- Wood Frames: Available in several wood species, providing natural beauty and the ability to be customized through finishing.
In addition to standard wood frames, Rogue Valley Door also provides options that incorporate specialized components for enhanced performance. This may include:
- Composite Components: Certain frame systems may utilize composite materials for specific parts, such as door jambs or brickmolds, offering increased resistance to rot, moisture, and insect damage.
- Primed Frames: Many of the wood frame options come pre-primed, ready for immediate painting. This ensures a smooth and durable finish and protects the wood during the finishing process.
- Unprimed Frames: For those who prefer to select their own priming and finishing products, unprimed wood frames are also an option, offering maximum flexibility in customization.
The design of the frame system is crucial for a proper door installation. Rogue Valley Door ensures that their frame options are designed to accommodate various installation methods and building codes. This includes considerations for:
- Jamb Depth: Frames are available in standard and potentially custom jamb depths to suit different wall thicknesses, ensuring a flush and secure fit.
- Casing and Brickmould: Exterior trim pieces like casing and brickmould are integral parts of the frame system, providing a finished look and a crucial seal against the elements. These are often offered in coordinating wood species or durable composite materials.
- Sill and Threshold: The sill and threshold are critical components of the frame assembly that provide a barrier at the bottom of the door. Options may include various materials and designs to optimize water drainage and prevent drafts.
Specific frame configurations and material choices will vary depending on the particular door model selected. It is recommended to consult the product details for each door to understand the precise frame options available. This ensures that the chosen frame will meet the aesthetic, functional, and durability requirements for your exterior door.
Glass Options
Rogue Valley Door offers a variety of glass options for their exterior wood doors, providing homeowners with choices to enhance both aesthetics and functionality. These options cater to different privacy needs, decorative preferences, and energy efficiency requirements.
Glass Styles and Types
- Clear Glass: This classic option provides maximum light transmission and an unobstructed view. It is ideal for settings where light and visibility are paramount.
- Frosted Glass: Frosted glass offers a diffused light effect, obscuring the view while still allowing natural light to enter. This is a popular choice for areas requiring increased privacy, such as bathrooms or entryways.
- Obscure Glass: Similar to frosted glass, obscure glass provides privacy by reducing visibility. Rogue Valley Door offers various patterns and textures within their obscure glass options to add a decorative element.
- Decorative Glass: This category encompasses a wide range of styles, including beveled glass, stained glass, and textured glass. These options add a unique artistic touch to the door, serving as a focal point for the home's exterior.
- Etched Glass: Etched glass features designs or patterns created by acid-etching or sandblasting the surface of the glass. This can range from subtle patterns to intricate custom designs.
Glass Configurations
The glass options are available in various configurations depending on the door design. These can include:
- Full Lite: The glass panel extends the full length of the door, offering maximum light and a clear view.
- Half Lite: The glass panel covers the upper half of the door, typically with a solid lower section.
- Three-Quarter Lite: The glass panel extends approximately three-quarters of the way up the door.
- Vision Lite: Smaller glass inserts within a solid door, often used for peepholes or small decorative elements.
- Sidelites and Transoms: Glass is also available for sidelite units (vertical glass panels flanking the door) and transom windows (horizontal glass panels above the door), allowing for coordinated design elements.
Specialty Glass Features
In addition to standard glass types, Rogue Valley Door may offer specialty glass features such as:
- Low-E (Low-Emissivity) Coatings: These coatings can be applied to glass to improve energy efficiency by reflecting radiant heat. This helps keep homes cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, potentially reducing energy costs.
- Tempered Glass: For safety and security, certain glass options may be tempered. Tempered glass is stronger than regular glass and, if broken, shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces. This is often a requirement for glass near the floor or in high-traffic areas.
- Insulated Glass Units (IGUs): Many of their exterior doors feature double-pane or triple-pane glass units with an air or gas-filled space between the panes. This further enhances insulation and sound dampening properties.
Specific glass availability and features will vary by door model. It is recommended to consult the detailed specifications for each door design to confirm the available glass options.

From elegant levers to traditional knobs, these hardware pieces are designed for comfortable grip and ease of use, while contributing significantly to the door's curb appeal.

Frame Options
TruStile offers a variety of frame options designed to complement their collection of exterior wood and entry doors. These frame options are carefully crafted to ensure both aesthetic appeal and robust performance for your home's entryway.
Frame Construction Options
- Wood Species: The primary wood species available for frames often mirror the wood options for the doors themselves, allowing for a seamless and cohesive look. Common species include Douglas Fir, Knotty Alder, and various hardwoods.
- Jamb Depth: TruStile typically offers a range of jamb depths to accommodate different wall thicknesses, ensuring a proper fit and secure installation for any project. Standard depths are usually available, with custom options sometimes possible.
- Profile Options: Frame profiles are designed to match the style of the door. This can include simpler, more traditional profiles for classic designs or more substantial profiles for contemporary or rustic looks.
- Priming and Finishing: Frames are often available pre-primed for painting, providing a ready surface for your chosen finish. Some collections may also offer pre-finished options to match specific door styles or to provide a factory-sealed protection.
- Prefitting and Machining: For ease of installation, many of TruStile's frame options are prefitted and machined to accept the door slab, hinges, and locksets, reducing on-site labor.
Specialty Frame Features
Depending on the specific door collection and intended application, certain frame features might be available:
- Extended Jambs: For thicker walls, extended jambs can be ordered to ensure full coverage and a finished appearance without the need for extensions.
- Brick Mould: Exterior brick mould is an option for many frame types, providing a decorative and weather-resistant seal against the exterior cladding, particularly useful in brick or stone applications.
- Pre-hung Units: Many of TruStile's exterior door systems are offered as pre-hung units, which include the door slab, frame, hinges, and often the lockset, all assembled and ready for installation. This ensures proper alignment and simplifies the installation process.
When selecting a frame option, it is important to consider the overall architectural style of your home, the desired level of durability, and the specific installation requirements.
Glass Options
TruStile offers a variety of glass options for their doors, designed to enhance both aesthetics and functionality. The specific glass types available will depend on the door style and its intended application.
For entry doors, security and privacy are often key considerations. TruStile provides options that balance natural light with a desired level of seclusion.
- Obscure Glass: This type of glass is ideal for areas where privacy is paramount, such as bathrooms or entryways. It allows light to pass through while obscuring the view from the outside. Various textures and patterns are available within this category.
- Decorative Glass: For a touch of elegance and personal style, decorative glass options are available. These can range from etched or frosted patterns to more intricate designs that add architectural interest to the door.
- Textured Glass: Beyond obscurity, some textures can offer a subtle decorative element while still providing privacy. These can include hammered, rippled, or seeded glass effects, each casting light in a unique way.
For interior doors, the focus might be more on light diffusion and aesthetic appeal, though privacy remains a factor for certain rooms.
- Frosted Glass: Similar to obscure glass, frosted glass offers privacy by diffusing light, creating a soft and translucent effect. This is a popular choice for interior doors where a clean and modern look is desired.
- Clear Glass: For situations where uninterrupted light flow and a clear view are preferred, clear glass is an option. This is often used in styles designed to maximize natural light or to connect interior spaces visually.
- Patterned Glass: TruStile may offer various patterned glass options that add visual interest without sacrificing light. These patterns can range from simple geometric designs to more elaborate motifs.
It is important to note that the availability of specific glass types can vary depending on the particular door model and collection. For instance, some door styles might be designed to accommodate specific insert types or sizes of glass.

These hardware selections are curated to enhance both the aesthetic appeal and the functional performance of your entryway, ensuring a cohesive and stylish look.
When selecting hardware for your TruStile doors, consider the following categories:
- Locksets: TruStile provides a variety of locksets to ensure security and style. These include options for deadbolts, knobsets, and lever handle sets. Finishes vary to match different architectural styles and personal preferences.
- Hinges: The type of hinges available depends on the door style and application. For traditional swinging doors, standard butt hinges are offered in various finishes. For barn doors, specialized track and roller systems are crucial for smooth operation and visual impact.
- Handles and Pulls: Complementing the locksets, a wide array of handles and pulls are available. These range from classic, ornate designs to minimalist, contemporary styles, allowing for personalization of the door's touchpoints. Materials and finishes are selected for durability and visual appeal.
- Accessories: Beyond the primary functional hardware, TruStile may offer complementary accessories such as kick plates, door knockers, and escutcheons. These details add a refined touch and can further enhance the overall design of the door and its surroundings.
The hardware is designed to integrate seamlessly with TruStile's door offerings, ensuring proper fit and function. The selection of finishes aims to provide options that are both durable and aesthetically pleasing, withstanding the elements while maintaining their appearance over time.
