Hardwood Door Product Guide

Product Specifications for Mahogany or Alder SDL Exterior Wood Doors

Doors built for the True Divided Lite Series millwork program are included in the raftsman / SDL section of our Mahogany and Knotty Alder Entry Doors catalog, and have the following specifications*: 1) Solid wood construction in the stiles and rails. Stiles of these SDL door series use a engineered construction method, which greatly reduces the possibility of warpage. 2) SDL door panels are fully floating (not glued) for superior strength and longevity. Panels are 3 layers thick for strength and to greatly reduce the possibility of splitting. 3) All stile and rail joints use full cove and bead construction (instead of butt-gluing), and incorporate multiple grooved dowel construction at each joint. The top rail and lock rails use 3 dowels per side, and the large bottom rail uses 4 dowels per side. 4) SDL doors are available pre-hung in matching mahogany or knotty alder components. This assures a beautiful match and consistent grain and stain pattern. 4 5 ⁄ 8 ˝ and 6 5 ⁄ 8 ˝ jamb widths are standard. 5) Glass panels in alder or meranti-mahogany SDL Doors are double glazed (IG). There are 5 available glass options for SDL doors and sidelites. All glass is tempered for safety. 6) The Arch Top Rail Double SDL knotty alder and mahogany doors include raised moldings around the glass opening and the raised panels. All others doors in this section DO NOT include raised mildings.

Available Stock Product Sizes varies depending upon the door profile. Refer to catalog for exact available sizes.
