Dutch Door Installation

What This Service Involves

Dutch doors add old-world character and everyday practicality, opening the top half for a breeze while the bottom stays shut. We install these split doors with precise alignment so both halves latch independently and lock together as one solid unit. A shelf ledge and quality hardware complete the look, and on exterior openings we add weatherstripping and flashing suited to damp Northwest conditions. The result is a distinctive entry that's as functional as it is delightful.

Benefits

Airflow and light through the open top half; A safe barrier that keeps kids and pets in place; Distinctive, character-rich curb appeal; Weather-sealed construction for exterior use

Our Process

1) Confirm the opening suits a two-piece door and swing; 2) Hang each half with independent latching and aligned hinges; 3) Install the shelf, weatherstripping, and coupling hardware; 4) Adjust both halves to latch cleanly alone and together

What Affects the Cost

Interior versus exterior and weather-sealing needs; Door material and custom construction; Specialty hinges and coupling hardware; Opening adjustments for a proper fit; Finishing, staining, or painting

Best Time of Year

Exterior Dutch doors are best hung in drier months, while interior ones fit any season.
