Choosing a Door Size
Because each door we make is sized specifically for the project, you are not restricted to any standard sizes.
Measurements to Know
When sizing the door you will need to consider two principle measurements, rough opening and frame size. See the image below for reference.
Rough Opening
The rough opening is the distance from stud to stud for framing purposes. We advise that you build a rough opening that is ½ in. wider and 1/2 in. taller than the total door unit. We find that this allows for sufficient shimming and adjustments during installation.
Net Frame Size: Width and Height
This is the size of the actual door jamb. When determining the net frame size you want to put in a number that is at least a half inch less than the rough opening size to allow room to square and level the door. For example, for a rough opening 48 in., order a net frame size of 47 1/2 in.
Glass Sidelight
In many cases, customers wish to purchase sidelights for their door units. We build sidelights and transoms directly into the door unit, so the jamb and sidelights connect seamlessly. All you need to do is tell us what kind of sidelights or transom you want, what size they should be and what kind of glass you want.
When ordering a door online, you must specify that you are also purchasing a glass sidelight to be attached to this door. If you are choosing yes to include a sidelight, you must also purchase a sidelight from the "Glass Sidelight" section (under the Shop section on the left of the screen).

Jamb Depth
Jamb depth depends on the thickness of the walls into which the door unit will be placed. Most walls are studded out with 2x4's or 2x6's, and so, our most common jamb depths are 4 5/8 in. and 6 5/8 in., respectively. Usually the jamb is flush with the interior and exterior wall covering, with the seam covered by casing.
We have standard jamb depths of
4 5/8 in.
5 1/4 in.
5 1/2 in.
6 5/8 in.
7 1/2 in.
If you wish for us to provide a jamb depth different from one of our standard options, please contact us.

Swing Configuration
When you order your pivot-hung entryway, you have options when it comes to how the door will swing. Though 99% of the time, you will want a door that swings into the interior (in-swing), we are set up to build jambs where the door swings out to the exterior (pushing your visitors out of the pathway of your tremendous door).
However, when it comes to right-hand or left-hand swing, the layout of your installation site will determine the swing configuration. To determine if the door is left-hand or right-hand in-swing, imagine you are looking at the door from the street. If the pivot point is on the left side, it is a left-hand in-swing. If the pivot point is on the right-hand side, the door is a right-hand in-swing.
Diagram of Potential Configurations
Pivot Placement
The pivot placement is the distance the pivot pin will be placed away from the vertical edge of the rough opening. Generally speaking, we suggest placing the pivot over one quarter of the distance of the door width. We find that this presents a solid aesthetic for most door dimensions. See table below for suggested pivot placements.
If your rough opening is 48" and you choose a 9" pivot placement, the door will roughly have a 37" pass through opening. You want to ensure you leave at least a 36" opening. (Rough opening width - pivot placement measurement - 4 in. for jamb = a number greater than 36). See picture for details or contact us for clarification.
Door Slab Width | Pivot Placement |
42" - 44" ........... | 4" |
45" - 47" ........... | 6" |
48" - 53" ........... | 9" |
54" - 60" ........... | 12" |
61" - 66" ........... | 15" |
67" - 70" ........... | 18" |
71" - 74" ........... | 21" |
75" - 80" ........... | 24" |
81" - 86" ........... | 30" |
Glass Color
Standard Features
All glass we install is 1" thick tempered double-paned, insulated glass. Clear and frosted glass patterns are standard pricing options.
Free-swing Pivot Hinge
Our standard pivot hardware is a durable, specially engineered free-swing pivot hinge. This pivot hardware works for a wide range of doors, from small to very large. No matter the door size, the free-swing pivot hinge allows for effortless door operation. The hardware incorporates sets of ball-bearings for smooth, long-lasting performance. The door swings freely around the pivot point. There are no springs or tension pulling the door closed.
Closer, Dorma BTS/80
In commercial applications and in rare residential applications, we install a bottom closer. The bottom closer creates constant tension on the door's swing to pull the door into the closed position. This means one must hold the door in order to keep it open. With a closer the door will not rest in an open position unless the hold-open feature is activated, which holds the door open at a 100° angle.
