  • Entry Doors
  • ebuild (9/1/2009)
  • Previously offered in a stain-grade product, new character-grade Cedro Macho entry doors give homeowners another option for using this increasingly popular species. Grown plentifully in Central American forests, FSC-certified Cedro Macho is distinguished by its warm reddish-brown color that naturally deepens over time. The character-grade material allows knots and other natural characteristics to offer a one-of-a-kind look and is available on all of the maker's seven architectural styles, transoms, and sidelites. 888-537-7828.

  • Juniper Doors
  • ebuild (8/13/2009)

  • Gain Privacy, Save Space with a Pocket Door
  • ebuild (8/10/2009)
  • When you can't afford to lose the space that a swinging door takes up, install a door-in-the-wall with the Johnson Pocket Door Frame.
