Hinged Doors

When an architect first finds out about Dynamic hinged doors, there is usually an audible sigh of relief. Most architects have been frustrated by doors restricted to 8' (2.4m) tall, transoms that do not align to the plane of the door slab, with restrictive stile and rail dimensions, or inappropriate thresholds, hardware options or poor quality raw materials. Having finally found someone to manufacture over-size doors, the architect then finds out the maker will not warranty the product.

Dynamic hinged doors, over-size or not, are covered by our warranty. They come with flexible stile and rail dimensions, transoms that align, and a range of other options intended to allow the architect to design the door they truly want. The subtle carrying through of alignments, profiles, lite sizes, hardware and wood finishes from the windows through to the doors creates a continuity of detail that ties the whole house together.
