This is the classic front door style. Traditional front doors are generally regarded as elegant and timeless, with thick wood panels, curved and decorative hardware, and grilles over glass. They're great as double front doors for large, formal entries, or when paired with transoms as a nod to historic design. Design it to suit your fancy below.

Frequently Asked Questions
Think of traditional as a description that could be applied to any number of recognizable architectural styles. It’s broad, but it also suggests certain characteristics like symmetrical designs, classic features, and decorative touches. Overall, it’s an elegant look rooted in history, and yet, timeless. For example, a Federal/Georgian style home with white double-hung windows and colonial grilles.
Yes, we do make double front doors. You’ll find a variety of options available, including arched double doors, all-glass double doors, and double doors in most any style. In addition, there’s always the option to custom design your perfect front door.
A transom is a window that sits above your door, and a sidelight is a window that sits on either or both sides of your door. These can be ordered with your front door and can add elegance befitting a formal entryway in a traditional home. You can even create a statement by going with both.
A top warranty in the industry
Our entry doors comes with one of the industry's best limited warranties. The warranty is even transferable, so it'll continue to add value if you decide to sell your home.
