ADVANCED Contractor Series doors are sold as described, with online pricing reflecting the maximum discount and no other offers applicable. In order to provide this series of doors at a lesser price than our customizable line, we’ve pre-purchased material to specifications and have manufactured parts of the door already, so no customizations are allowed. For small alterations such as upgrading to hurricane-rated glass, please contact us for a quote.

We sell doors by frame size, the actual door size will be less than the frame size. Available Widths and Heights For Contractor Series doors, you may choose from the following frame widths and heights: Frame Widths: 43 1/2″ or 49 1/2″ Frame Heights: 81 3/4″ or 97 3/4″ Measurements to Know When sizing the door you will need to consider two principle measurements: rough opening and frame size. See the image below for reference. Inside Outside *Casing included for illustration purposes only, not included in purchase price. Rough Opening The rough opening is the distance from stud to stud for framing purposes. We advise that you build a rough opening that is 1/2″ wider and 1/2″ taller than the total door unit. We find that this allows for sufficient shimming and adjustments during installation. Collapse & Return Wood Type Wood Type CHOOSING A WOOD SPECIES For Contractor Series doors we offer four wood types: Mahogany (Sapele), Walnut, Paint Grade, White Oak. If you would like a greater range of wood types to choose from, you will need to order a customizable door. As you decide which wood you’ll choose, the most important factor is how the wood species goes with the overall design of the door and your project. If you have specific questions about what wood to choose that are not answered here, feel free to reach out to us. Our Standard Selection Images are for reference only. All orders are shipped out unfinished and stain-ready. (No stain or clear coat.) Mahogany (Sapele) Walnut White Oak Mahogany (Sapele) African Mahogany (Sapele) is a reddish-brown hardwood wood and is desired for its rarity, strength, and beauty. It is one of our most durable and resists swelling and warping, making it ideal for harsher environments and coastal climates. White Oak White Oak hardwood has a medium-brown grain with an olive cast, while the sapwood ranges from a light cream to tan. Its moisture movement is medium to high and it has a good density with a medium to coarse texture. White Oak is more resistant to weathering issues than Red Oak. Walnut American Black Walnut hardwood is naturally darker in color, much like an espresso brown. It is strong, hard, and exceptionally durable without being excessively heavy. When sealed, there is a dark contrast from the heartwood and sapwood offering an exotic finish. Although Walnut is naturally dark, it has the propensity to lighten over time. Collapse & Return Jamb Depth Jamb Depth Jamb depth depends on the thickness of the walls into which the door unit will be placed. Most walls are studded out with 2×4s or 2×6s, and so, our most common jamb depths are 4 5/8″ and 6 5/8″, respectively. Usually the jamb is flush with the interior and exterior wall covering, with the seam covered by casing. Available jamb depths: 4 5/8″ 5 1/2″ 6 5/8″ You will need to order from our Customizable line if you need a different jamb depth from what is available above. Inside Outside Collapse & Return Threshold Color & Type Threshold Color & Type Threshold Color All Contractor Series doors come with a choice of a black or grey aluminum threshold. Black Threshold Dark Bronze Anodized Grey Threshold Mill Finished Aluminum Threshold Type All Contractor Series doors come with a Type 2 threshold. Type 2 thresholds are suitable when there is any type of wood covering on the interior of the house. The Type 2 threshold has a 90-degree angle on the interior-facing side for the wood or tile covering to butt up against. Threshold Type 2 Collapse & Return Deadbolt & Handleset Prep Deadbolt & Handleset Prep Single And Double Bore We will pre-drill the door for a handle with 2 3/8″ or 2 3/4″ backset. Standard bore diameter is 2 1/8″. The term “backset” refers to the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the bore hole. See the diagram below for more details. Mortise We can mortise the door for many entry lock sets. Please contact us directly to configure your specific requirements. Other If you wish for us to prep for a handle you purchase from another vendor, you will need to provide us with the specifications for the handle or lockset so we can properly prep. You may then be required to mail us the hardware to properly prep for it. Alternatively, you may decide that you want to wait and have a local carpenter prep the for the door handle. Standard Handle Prep Single Bore Double Bore NOTE: All jamb strikes are prepped on-site to ensure proper alignment after installation and any necessary adjustments. Collapse & Return Swing Configuration Swing Configuration When you order your pivot-hung entryway, you have options when it comes to how the door will swing. Because 99% of the time, you will want a door that swings into the interior (inswing), our Contractor Series line only comes as an inswing. When it comes to right-hand or left-hand swing, the layout of your installation site will determine the swing configuration. To determine if the door is left-hand or right-hand inswing, imagine you are looking at the door from the street. If the pivot point is on the left-hand side, it is a left-hand inswing. If the pivot point is on the right-hand side, the door is a right-hand inswing. Diagram Of Potential Cconfigurations Swing configuration defines the direction of the door motion and from which side the pivot is placed. Left-Hand Inswing Opens to Interior   Right-Hand Inswing Opens to Interior   Collapse & Return > Pivot Placement Pivot Placement The pivot placement is the distance the pivot pin will be placed away from the vertical edge of the rough opening. Contractor Series doors have set pivot placements. Fixed Pivot Placements 43 1/2″ frame width comes with a 4″ pivot placement, allowing for a passthrough of 36 5/16″. 49 1/2″ frame width comes with a 8″ pivot placement, allowing for a passthrough of 38 5/16″. Pivot Placement Collapse & Return Pivot Hardware Pivot Hardware Free-Swing Pivot Hinge Our standard pivot hardware is a durable specially engineered free-swing pivot hinge. This pivot hardware works for a wide range of doors, from small to very large. No matter the door size, the free-swing pivot hinge allows for effortless door operation. The hardware incorporates sets of ball-bearings for smooth, long-lasting performance. The door swings freely around the pivot point. There are no springs or tension pulling the door closed. Collapse & Return Door Glass Color Door Glass Color You have the option of having a clear glass or frosted white glass. Frosted White Glass Clear Glass Collapse & Return Sidelights Sidelights GLASS SIDELIGHT PLACEMENT ON DOOR UNIT You can choose between the following sidelight configurations: Right Sidelight Left Sidelight Transom Light Double Sidelight Left Sidelight with Transom Right Sidelight with Transom Double Sidelight with Transom Sidelight placement is specified with reference to the exterior view. If you want a 12″ sidelight that is on the right side when viewed from the exterior, click on the dropdown options under “Right Sidelight” and select the option: 12″ Right Sidelight. If you want a double sidelight, simply a size under both the the Right Sidelight and Left Sidelight options. Double sidelights can be different sizes. NET SIDELIGHT SIZE This is the size of the actual sidelight jamb. When inputting the net frame size you want to put in a number that is at least a half-inch less than the rough opening size to allow room to square and level the unit.   Example: 48″ x 98″ door with a 18″ x 98″ sidelight will get you a door and sidelight combo that measures 66″ x 98″ (the rough opening size should be somewhere around 66 1/2″ x 98 1/2″).
