Swinging doors are installed into an existing door jamb, a new door jamb, or a hallway or untraditional opening. Since these openings are not pre-construction sizes, offering custom size swinging doors to ensure the best fit. We recommend that doors be installed into the wood if possible, adding trim boards can help in non-traditional openings. To ensure a perfect fit we would recommend measuring at the top, middle, and bottom. The doors will be made to the smallest of measurements to ensure they fit and can swing back and forth.
