All of or wooden doors are made from a 100% solid kiln dried merbau wood. These are a tropical hardwood of great value and distinction, tonger and more durable then mahogany and able to keep a beautiful finish. Our doors are specially engineered and constructed to not warp or crack under the effects of temperature change, which often occurs with solid wood doors.

Merbau wood has a hardness rating and stability superior to all the northern hemisphere woods, and is better than both mahogany and teak. This makes merbau the ideal wood for exterior doors where you need the doors to be as strong as possible to prevent dents and dings. Merbau is a very popular for high end wood flooring for the same reasons. Furthermore, its natural oils and mineral content prevent any damage from insects.

Merbau is a light reddish wood that is very well suited to darker and reddish finishes. It will take medium stains but the lighter stains are not recommended for merbau. For exterior doors, we only use oil based stains. Doors have finished with a clear urethane, but if requested we can also provide a marine spar varnish finish which is recommended for locations with heavy rainfall.

Solid wood doors will always react to changes in humidity and temperature, and therefore to avoid any warping caused thru changes in water content in the wood, we have to use a special method of construction. Firstly the wood is kiln dried to a moisture content of 6-8%, and then it is cut into the necessary lengths and sections. Each length of wood is then recut, the grain or direction of the wood is inverted, and then the different lengths are then rejoined, mortice and tenon, then glued and clamped together. When the different lengths naturally want to bend or move they do so in opposition to  each other thus canceling out each other's movement, and the doors remain straight. It is the same principle used to make plywood.
NB. Wood doors should not be installed facing direct sunlight. This may result in some discoloration or minor cracking on the surface.

Yes, All the doors are made prehung unless requested otherwise. The standard size of exterior door jambs for wood doors is 2" x 6 9/16", but we can build jambs to any sizes as specified.

The glass is NOT included in the price listed for any of the doors. However, we do offer to install tempered glass in the doors whenever required, and for a price far less than one would expect to pay in the US. We offer some kind of door glass like single, double and triple clear tempered door glass, bubble or melton door glass, frosted door glass and stain glass.   

In most cases it will take 3 weeks to complete an order. However if the doors are requested including door glass, then it would take for another one week. The shipping time is usually 6-8 weeks depending on the location, so it takes 10-12 weeks in total.

Yes. We can build doors to the customer's own design specifications and size needs. On receipt of a 50% deposit, we will send a CAD drawing to the customer for the doors and begin the construction once all the specifications are agreed upon.

Yes. All doors have a 12 month warranty against damages caused by defects in the production. This warranty covers the cost of any repairs to the doors and also covers the cost of replacements , including the shipping charges if necessary.

No, we are unable to arrange installation of the doors. We recommend in most cases that a building contractor or professional is used to install the doors. A typical 8' x 6' set of double doors will weigh over 500lbs. While waiting for installation, do not leave wood doors flat on the ground. Wood doors should be kept standing at all times.

The finish should be inspected at least once every 12 months for any deterioration due to the environment and be re-finished wherever required. The hardware, particularly the hinges, should be checked periodically to ensure correct alignment and smooth operation. Contact a professional to make any necessary adjustments.

All the iron used is solid iron bar, diameter is 1/2" or 5/8" - no hollow tubing is used. The iron bar is uniquely worked by hand by our craftsmen, and no two doors will ever be an exact copy. No cast iron or prefabricated steel is used. Wrought iron is far stronger and has a much longer life span. The doors stiles, rails and panels on the iron doors are built form 1,8 mm gauge steel iron plate.

Firstly each wrought iron panel is hinged directly into the opening cut into the doors, this enables the panels to open outwards in order to allow for cleaning of the glass. Each panel closes and is held in place by discrete screw bolts. Iron grills are mostly for decorative purposes and are attached with clavos' into the wood. Speakeasy cages are fixed, whether the speakeasy is operational or decorative. On the iron doors, the wrought iron panels are fixed, and the glass inserts open up to allow for cleaning and/or ventilation.

Most people prefer a matt black paint finish for the decorative wrought iron panels, but we can also paint a semi gloss finish. We use an oil based paint after first applying an anti rusting primer to the iron. In terms of color, any shade or combination is possible, including metallic paints and textured finishes. On the iron doors, we can paint to any color of finish. We use epoxy paints and car stain of  Nippon stain color for all the iron doors.
