Our door wood options
Our three timber door options of Blackbutt, Messmate and recycled Messmate are all either sustainably sourced or reclaimed.
A solid timber door brings warmth and texture to the frontage of your home to make a lasting first impression. In contrast to a hollow alternative, a solid timber front door is sturdy, secure, and a delight to swing open and closed.
Each of our pieces is made to your dimensions to ensure that it will fit snuggly into your space. We also create frames from matching Australian hardwood with elements such as sidelights and stunning chunky sills.
As well as wooden front doors, we also create beautiful internal timber doors. Other than the beauty of real wood, compared to their hollow counterparts, these pieces are great at dampening sound and temperature control.
A solid door requires a horizontal breadboard at the top and base to counteract any movement of the wood.
The wood you choose for your timber front door greatly impacts the aesthetic of your frontage.
Select grade Blackbutt timber is a beautiful pale brown tone with minimal markings. This is a great option for Scandinavian, modern and Hamptons style homes.
Messmate timber is a warm brown tone with quintessential black sap line features.
Recycled Messmate is similar to Messmate, however, its tone is more varied and there will be signs of its previous life such as nail holes.

All of our timber doors are made to order to ensure it is the perfect fit for your space.
The feature-rich recycled Messmate timber is one of our wood options which is suitable for use in a door.
The newly harvested timbers we use to create our solid wood doors are sustainably harvested. Depending on the timber and which yard it is sourced from, it is either FSC or another of the Australian classification systems.
We supply our outdoor timber doors raw as the process of hanging the door damages the applied finish. Once the door is hung, a UV protection product will need to be applied. The finish that we recommend for the doors is the Osmo UV protection oil.
Depending on your location, we can apply the Osmo finish to your door for an additional fee.
No, the door is supplied without the hardware, locks or handles.
The finish you have applied to the door will need to be maintained as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
For an additional fee we can create the rebated for a pivot hinge. We will need to have the hinge at our workshop for our makers to accurately create the rebate.

No, we cannot help you here sorry! Your local builder or carpenter is the right person for the job! We can recommend carpenters in our local area of Torquay and the Surfcoast.
Yes, we create a range of beautiful timber front door handles that are the perfect match for our timber doors.
All of our wooden doors are crafted from 40mm thick timber. This means they are Australian hardwood inside and out!
In order to maintain structural integrity, we need to add a breadboard at the top and the bottom of the door to hold the door flat.
Timber breathes, which means it expands and contracts with the changing temperatures of the environment. A 1200mm wide door can expand and contract up to 10mm over the course of the year. If you want a perfectly sealing door with the beauty of real timber, we suggest installing weather seals.
We can make door frames but only if you are in our local area as they don’t transport well.
We can however supply matching timber that is cut oversized, sanded and filled ready for your trades to build a frame to fit.
