Topic Summary
Wood doors can be pre-machined for hardware and factory finished. Pre-hung doors come with a matching wood frame, ready for installation in a rough opening.
Wood doors may be classified as either flush or stile and rail construction. Wood doors may be installed as swinging, sliding or folding doors, and are available for interior locations or as exterior entrance and storm doors. There is a wood door for every budget, from the most economical flush hollow-core door, available from your local home improvement center, to custom-made stile and rail doors, produced with furniture-grade hardwoods and costing thousands of dollars.
