No matter how good your door unit looks, if it isn’t built to function properly & hold up to weathers extremes, we know you won’t be satisfied. At the heart of every Great River door is true mortise & tenon joinery, simply the strongest & most lasting way to join 2 pieces of wood together & assuring a door that will withstand decades of use.
Each door unit is designed & engineered with the highest quality woods & components, milled & assembled by craftsmen with decades of experience. Heavy duty ball bearing hinges, durable nylon weatherstrip & an aluminum sill with adjustable threshold are used to assure a secure & weather tight closure.
There is much more that goes in to each door that we build but the bottom line is to provide you with a door unit that you can be just as proud to own ten years from now as you are the day it’s installed.
