Wood is living. Used as an architectural material, wood adds an organic dimension to any project. Whether it be used as an accent or a dominant material, wood offers qualities unique from synthetic materials, such as metal or glass. Wood possesses a certain depth and story through its age, grain, and colors. We minimize the use of other materials in our all-wood doors in order to capitalize on these valuable qualities. Metal takes on a supporting role, as an all-wood construction is made possible by a structural steel frame. Wood is yin providing the organic beauty, while metal is yang providing the structural strength.

Modern Steel Doors uses only high-quality hardwoods for our modern wood exterior doors. Our hardwoods will never delaminate because they are not laminated. No corners should be cut when it comes to the front door. We offer five versatile wood species that complement many homes. These woods include mahogany, white oak, walnut, teak, and washed teak. Our hardwoods are easy to maintain and require no specialized maintenance tools or knowledge. Alternatively, sometimes clients want to match the wood already used in their home to that of their new front door. Learn more about your hardwood finish options here. 

Skillfully combining different materials creates an even more impressive overall product. A wooden pivot door provides the perfect backdrop for our hand-sculpted metal door handles. Modern Steel Doors has created a line of statement door hardware in different sizes, shapes, and finishes. Using long metal door pulls in front of a wooden background introduces a new material and creates a focal point for your modern wood exterior door. The hardware used on your front door is a critical detail that instantly transforms your home entrance from acceptable to exceptional.
