We love making doors at The Wooden Window & Door Co.! It is mostly because requests for doors usually come from customers who by nature are quite eccentric, thus, the door is reflective of this eccentricity. We have a lot of fun here when the creativity component is alive. That being said, we can make any style of interior or exterior door. Our exterior doors usually run between 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 thick!
Below you can view just some of our entrances and doors - these are high resolution photos that will take a long time to load - it will be worth the wait!
A pine entrance. The above 3 images are testament to how we can make pine look incredible. A very classy and aged example.
Another eastern white pine entrance - this one with it's heavily mullioned design and radius work will really look fantastic once stained and installed.
An mahogany arch top entrance ordered from one of our best high-end builders in Halifax. Keep the good designs coming Todd!
Another mahogany entrance. This one with really nice tongue and groove batten door. Stain choice for this local customer was traditional dark mahogany. This owner really understood this importance of going all the way not just with the entrance system itself but the entirety of the surrounding entrance. It should take the home owner a great deal of time and planning to get this just right.
The above 2 images of a mahogany entrance. This entrance is a good example of what you achieve with trim even if you don't have the room for a large entrance.
A heavily mullioned, African mahogany french door with generous trim. Ready for staining...
A pine, double gothic door for a local church. We really can create anything you want at the Wooden Window And Door Co.
Another pine entrance. This one has a huge door at 42" x 96". Upon the owners request we age-finished the entrance to give it a real historic look and feel.
A paint grade entrance that is an exact reproduction for a Nova Scotia heritage property.
One of our aged series entrances. We included a dentil shelf with dental work on the underside.
A modest 4-lite pine door for a home on the south shore.
A paint-grade pine door with a combination screen/storm door. Very traditional and will look great in royal blue.
A solid ash entrance we built for a spec-home in Halifax - heavy.
A chamfer door made of tulip poplar for the raised panels and american yellow poplar for the rails and stiles. This was supposed to be a paint grade door but the contractor so liked it they decided to go with a stain. Turned out to be a smart decision.
Above you see the making and final install of a super-entrance we call the "Three Sisters". This entrance is just shy of 12 feet and beautifully designed and constructed. This is the ultimate in grand entrances and we are pleased to offer 2 others (one in white pine, one in red oak) for sale.
A sliding cherry door we built to integrate into an all cherry wood kitchen. Cranberry Stained Glass crafted the art glass.
A entrance door we built for a church in Windsor, NS. This is a replica of the original.
The above photos are 2 of five entrances we built for a historic naval base in Halifax, NS
Interior red oak arch-top doors and jambs under construction for a home in Halifax. These doors weigh over 100 pounds each and are a thick 1-3/4". Below you can see the finished product installed.
Eight foot high, true arch double doors that will enter to a private library. Below is a picture of the door finished and installed.
One of our more stately, colonial entrance systems. This one we built of solid mahogany with a 2" thick solid ash threshold. Shown below is a picture of the dental work which is also mahogany.
Here we have just completed 10 replica oak doors for the Stadicona naval building in Halifax. These are 2-1/4" thick red oak - very heavy.
A mahogany entrance we designed, built and installed for a private school. We were requested to come up with a design for this school's new theatre... after spending some time in the building this is what we came up with. We think it captures the feel of the old world theatre quite well.
We have a superior finishing system that is second to none. We built these doors for a very discerning client. Below you can see these installed.
We had a blast designing and building this double door set. These are 8 foot high doors. Can you see the railing reflection?
This would be one of the more challenging doors we have built. There is nothing you can imagine that we can not create.
A solid mahogany interior stained glass door we built and installed. If you have a nice piece of stained glass that you would like to see in a door or window we can easily and tastefully do this for you.
A very rustic entrance we built for a couple building a new home in Grand Pre. The walls on this home are about 9 inches thick so we built this entrance with equally wide jambs. Our custom entrances integrate perfectly with any building project. Many door companies only have standard size jambs that serve only to make an entrance look like an after-thought.
Just one example of a custom entrance system we built. The door in this particular example is over 3 feet wide and very tall. Large entrance systems are nice - they have a certain appearance that everyone will notice and appreciate. You will notice that we wrapped the base of this entrance system in copper which will 'green' over time giving a really wonderful contrast with the teak stain. (CLICK HERE for close-up images).
A large solid mahogany entrance system we built. We installed custom leaded glass and like most of our entrance systems this one has it's sill wrapped in copper.
We also make custom carriage style garage doors. Our carriage doors are the highest quality overhead garage doors one can buy. Our customers all have one concern when ordering carriage garage doors: "WILL THEY LOOK LIKE REAL SWING-OPEN CARRIAGE DOORS?" This is inherent in every design we do. Again, striking just the right balance between form and function, a garage door that opens with the press of a button but has the appearance of a real carriage door.
The above image is 2 sets of carriage doors made with western red cedar. All our garage doors are constructed with full, through mortise and tennon joinery. They are built to last and perfect in every way. Below you can see them installed with an accompanying pedestrian door.
An eight foot high mahogany door with a stained glass piece atop.
Louvered door sets we built. These are double door sets that are going into a guesthouse/carriage house. They are real door thickness and heavy - not the thin, cheap looking, flimsy ones that vibrate upon opening and closing.
One of twenty doors we built for a 1920's bank/insurance building. This popular landmark building added on a large addition to the existing building. The owners, wanting to keep the same 'look and feel' of the building commissioned us to build them replicas of the existing doors. Our company now has the facility to accommodate larger production orders. Orders are completed on time and budget.
Do you like gothic? Pictured here are the back and front views of a 36 and 32 inch set of doors ready to ship. We have received so many requests for this 2-panel, gothic screen/storm combination door that we now keep them as a regular stock item. We believe this to be the most attractive screen/storm combination door ever designed - the proportions and style are perfect in every way. Each door ships with one screen and one sash insert. 'Turn Buttons' hold the sash or screen in place depending on the season and old fashioned hardware is included ( CLICK HERE for close-up images). NO FINGER JOINTED WOOD USED HERE!
Double screen/storm combination doors. We also built identical 2" thick exterior doors for this entrance way. Cremone bolts hold both stationary doors in place.
The ultimate garden/pool gate. This one is 4 feet wide and just shy of 8 feet high. This v-groove batten style gate gets lateral strength through a series of thick hardwood splines running transversally through the middle of each board. The wood species is clear pine.
Matching double doors that will go on a small barn.
Interior doors for an old farm house. The glass for this set of doors will be yellow opaque glass - 100 plus years old having come from the St. Marys church in Halifax, NS.
Three sets of doors that we are building for a 200 plus year old property in Annapolis Royal, NS. Besides the building of doors and windows we also offer a finishing and hardware service. In this photo we just finished shellacking the knots and test fitting the hardware. These doors will now be disassembled and taken to the spray booth. Notice that the panels are missing - we prime all our panels separately to ensure the highest possible protection from the elements. Close-ups of the hardware for these doors are in the following pictures:
For this job we used a combination of old and new hardware. The new hardware we use however meets a high standard. For instance, look at the design on the rusted and partially painted hinge and compare it to the new (very black) hinges. An excellent replica.
Below you can see these doors finished:
Once installed, these doors will look like they are the house's originals!
We also make custom period style screen doors. Here we have two raised panel screen doors. Note that the panels are not finger joined or buscuited - we use solid, single pieces of wood whenever possible. The last thing our customers want to see in their new door is a bunch of left over scrap wood glued together.
Matching front and back screen doors. Actually these are screen/storm combination doors in that the screen portion of the door pops out in the fall and a glass window of the same pattern takes its place thus becoming a storm door. You will notice that much of our work are simplistic designs reminiscent of those from years past.
Here is an example of the door joinery you can expect from The Wooden Window & Door Co...
When you look at this joint and think about strength, remember the epoxy glue, the half-inch thick tenon and pegs that provide a joint which even Mother Time will have a hard time with...
