| Hi, We'd like to do a Dutch Door in our new build. Can anyone recommend the best company to use for these? Also, if you did one, please post a picture of your Dutch Door! Thanks! |

| My brother had one made as an interior door to separate the workroom from the showroom in his retail shop. He used the existing door, had it cut, hinges added and a small shelf put on top of the bottom door so he can lean on it and chat with customers. As an exterior door, depending on your climate, I imagine weatherstripping would be difficult if not impossible. The company linked below makes custom doors and that may be your best option. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Lemieux Doors

| Lemieux, Simpson, Jeldwen and many others all make the doors themselves but you will need a millwork supply house to have the unit put into a frame of prehung if you will. Dutch Doors while nice are as mentioned above about impossible to weatherstrip well and will be quite energy inefficient. |
