Wood Front Doors

Knockety builds solid wood front doors and entry doors to order in Houston, Texas, in two species: mahogany and knotty alder. Choose the style, size, glass and finish, and we ship your door free anywhere in the continental U.S.

Solid wood entry doors, built to order

Custom wood doors are built to order by our team in Houston. The slab is laid up, cut to size and machined for bore holes, then finished, glazed and, if you choose, prehung in its frame. Custom-built doors take about 5 weeks: 4 weeks to build in Houston, then about 1 week in delivery. Quick Ship doors, hardware and samples arrive in about 1 week.

Mahogany or knotty alder

Most of our wood doors are solid mahogany; three styles are knotty alder, and those say so in their names. Natural wood varies in grain and color, so the photos show the style rather than your exact door. To see the grain and color in your own light, order a wood finish sample.

Shop wood front doors by style

Sizes, glass and finishes

• Sizes: most doors 32 or 36 inches wide, 80 inches (6'8") or 96 inches (8') tall; the Knotty Alder Solid Square 2 Panel and Solid 6 Panel Mahogany also come 42 inches wide. Each door page lists its sizes.
• Swing: left- or right-hand, in-swing or out-swing, as seen from outside.
• Glass: clear, water, rain or Flemish on most styles, and reeds or cloud on some, included at no extra cost. Glass doors use double-pane glass. See wood front doors with glass.
• Finish: unfinished, or a factory finish ($600) in stains such as Canyon Brown, Burnt Umber, Cinnamon Red, Sweet Honey, Willow Gray and White Wash (Traditional or Antique), or colors such as Tricorn Black and Arcade White.
• Slab or prehung: most buyers need prehung, which arrives hung in its frame with jamb, sill, hinges and weatherstripping. A slab is the door alone.

Wood or fiberglass?

Choose wood for real solid mahogany or knotty alder. Wood doors are not impact rated and carry a 1-year limited warranty. If you want the wood look with a longer warranty, see our fiberglass front doors that look like wood.
