New Front Doors

A Modest Bungalow in North East Portland.

Time for a Craftsman Update.

Ill-fitting & poorly weatherstripped. The client agreed that the entire jamb assembly needed replacement as well.

Now that’s a fancy threshold.
Please note the slate-tile overlapping the wood sill. Removing the original wood sill without damaging the tile proved challenging.

Note how clean & attractive an Oak Threshold can be. If there’s good protection from wind-driven moisture, this is a nice option.

One of my favorite door-bottom weatherstrips is this pile (brush) product that we frequently route into the bottom of the door.

To help deal with issues related to the tile flooring, our door-mechanic Tony ran the ears of the Oak Threshold all the way under the interior trim.

The Dentil Shelves with the large teeth have been enjoying a pretty long run of renewed popularity over the past decade or so.

The Simpson Craftsman Model 6863 is a handsome door.
