Half-Round

Half-round door units are defined by a radius and a spring line, creating a sense of symmetry and balance. These units offer several functional and aesthetic benefits, including increased natural light, improved ventilation, and enhanced visibility when interacting with visitors. They also contribute distinctive architectural character, adding elegance and visual interest to the home’s entrance. View Designs →

Elliptical

Elliptical entry units are brought to life through complex geometry defined by a major axis, a minor axis, and a spring line. These elements work together to create a smooth, elongated curve that sets the ellipse apart from other arch shapes. The result is a distinctive profile with refined proportions and a graceful sense of movement, offering a unique architectural expression. Beyond their elegant appearance, Elliptical Units provide several practical benefits. They allow increased natural light, add visual height to an entryway without the full rise of a half-round, and create a sophisticated focal point that enhances curb appeal. Their balanced form complements a range of architectural styles, making them an excellent choice for homeowners seeking both beauty and function. View Designs →

Segment Top

Roman Ogee

Roman Ogee units feature a classic double-curve arch defined by opposing radii that create a refined S-shaped profile. This elegant form adds depth, movement, and a sense of tradition, offering strong architectural character while maintaining balanced proportions. Benefits include enhanced visual interest, compatibility with both formal and transitional styles, and a distinctive focal point that elevates overall curb appeal without overpowering the front elevation.

Gothic Top

Gothic top doors feature a distinctive pointed arch that draws the eye upward, creating a sense of height, drama, and timeless elegance. Rooted in classic architectural traditions, the Gothic top adds strong visual interest while maintaining balance and proportion. These doors complement a wide range of styles, from historic to transitional, enhancing curb appeal and lending a refined, statement-making presence to the entryway.

Operating Sash

When conditions are ideal, welcome fresh air into your home with our operating sash doors. The top sash can incorporate glass, panels, or screen, and each door is custom-built to your exact specifications. An integrated screen within the exterior moulding helps keep insects out, while weather seals ensure dependable performance. For added durability, the sash can be secured with surface bolts to withstand demanding weather conditions. For greater flexibility and privacy, an interior operating panel shutter can be added to cover the glass opening. Alternatively, hinged panel shutters, custom-tailored to your specifications, overlay the glass from the exterior stiles and secure with a side bolt. These 1″-thick shutters feature 3/4″ raised panels on the exterior face to match the door, with a flat interior surface that closes securely against the glass. View More →

Dutch

Dutch doors are divided horizontally into two independent sections, allowing the top and bottom halves to operate separately. This timeless design provides exceptional versatility—open the upper leaf to welcome fresh air and natural light while keeping the lower section closed for privacy, security, or to contain pets and children. Popularized in early American and European homes, Dutch doors remain a beloved feature in coastal cottages, historic residences, and refined country homes. Our Dutch doors combine traditional craftsmanship with precision joinery, ensuring dependable performance while preserving their distinctive charm. View More →

Secret Passage

Stewart Brannen Millworks can create custom doors in virtually any size, shape, pattern, or three-dimensional design to meet your exact specifications. Our skilled craftsmen, combined with advanced precision routing technology, allow us to produce even the most complex and distinctive designs. From architecturally detailed entryways to concealed passage doors, each piece is thoughtfully engineered and meticulously crafted.

Screen

Our screen doors are crafted with the same attention to detail as our custom wood doors and are fabricated to your exact size and design specifications. Panels can be incorporated as desired, with most doors constructed at a thickness of 1 3/4". Screens are available in bronze, fiberglass, or aluminum, and engineered stiles help minimize the potential for warping over time. Screen doors can be designed to match the layout of your entry door and installed within double-rabbeted frames or mounted to the exterior trim. View More →

Louver

We manufacture louver doors in a wide range of configurations, including venting or closed, movable or fixed designs. Louvers can be combined with glass or panels and arranged in virtually any layout to suit your design requirements. The primary detail that defines the appearance of a louver door is slat spacing. Our most popular configuration features 3/8" thick slats spaced 1 3/4" on center. Slats are available with either radiused or square edges. View Designs →

Glass Doors

Our glass doors are engineered for strength, stability, and energy efficiency. Each unit is constructed using high-quality materials and precision joinery, ensuring smooth operation, lasting performance, and superior clarity in every panel. Glass doors can enhance the openness of any room by maximizing views and daylight. Whether clear, obscured, or decorative, the glass panels can be customized to achieve the perfect balance of privacy, light control, and aesthetic detail. View Designs →

Panel

Panel doors are constructed with individual wood panels set within a framework of stiles and rails, creating depth, strength, and timeless architectural detail. This method allows the panels to move naturally with the wood, supporting long-term performance and durability. Offered in a range of raised and flat panel designs, panel doors provide versatile styling that complements both traditional and modern homes. View More →

Interior Panel Shuttered

If you love the look of glass in your door but have concerns about privacy or afternoon sun, our hinged panel shutters offer an elegant solution. Custom made to your specifications, these shutters overlay the glass opening and are hinged to the exterior door stiles. They secure closed with a side bolt from your chosen hardware supplier. Crafted at 1" thick, the shutters feature 3/4" raised panels on the exterior to match your door's panel design, while the interior face remains flat to close neatly against the glass. View More →

Barn

Our barn doors reinterpret classic agrarian design through a refined, architectural lens. Suspended from a visible, top-mounted track, they offer a seamless blend of form and function. Their smooth, parallel glide along the wall eliminates the need for swing clearance, making them an elegant space-saving solution. Equally practical and visually striking, they serve as a sculptural focal point in thoughtfully designed homes, offices, and modern interiors. View More →

Plank

Wrought Iron

Wrought Iron doors feature hand-forged ironwork combined with glass panels to create a refined yet durable entry. The balance of decorative detail and structural strength results in a distinctive design that enhances architectural character while allowing natural light into the home.

Gates

Crafted as both a statement and a safeguard, custom gates from Stewart Brannen Millworks bring together security, architectural presence, and refined detail. Each gate is designed to complement the surrounding structure while standing strong against the elements and everyday use.

Engineered for durability and long-term reliability, our gates are built to handle constant operation without compromising strength or stability.

Styles

Sea Island

The Sea Island detail features an applied bolection moulding around the panel openings and is available in 1 3/4" and 2 1/2" thickness. This feature maximizes the glass area while allowing for a dramatic panel detail. The glazing can be either TDL or SDL. Our new simulated putty glaze profile has a narrow 11/16" wide mullions to recreate a historic look while using high performance insulated glass. Door stiles can be as narrow as 4" overall with appropriate hardware.

Paris Mould

The Paris Mould detail is based on Louis XV profiles and is typical of the moulding used on many Parisian residences. Because of the width of this moulding, it is appropriate for larger doors and doors with few openings. This profiles projects 7/8" from the face of the door and has classic French styling. We have incorporated our simulated putty glaze mullion into this profile when it is used with glass to allow the designer to use this detail throughout the residence. We have shown this detail with our heavy raised panel, although many different panel profiles can be used and quite often different profiles are used on the same door.

68 MM

French Bolection

Our French Bolection Detail is borrowed from historic French doors. This profile projects 7/8" above the face of the door and has a deep undercut on the back side in the French tradition. This design allows us to have the moulding around the glass opening and has the mullions coped into the moulding. Our new simulated putty glaze profile with narrow 11/16" wide mullions and our TDL profiles will work in this design. Door stiles can be as narrow as 4" overall with appropriate hardware. This design is featuring our pyramid raised panel in the lower opening on the exterior side. Any of our panel profiles can be incorporated into the moulding.

BM Standard

The BM Standard style uses a small moulding applied around the edge of openings in the door. It is a cost effective way to add depth and width to the openings. The standard stile width is 6 1/4" to allow enough room for hardware outside the moulding. Our heavy raise panel is the standard panel profile for this detail. This detail is used on TDL glass over panel doors, TDL one lite doors, and all panel doors. As with the case on all doors, we need to know the hardware requirements to insure that the moulding will not interfere with the hardware.

Plantation

This detail was created to match the historic homes of the south where French doors opening onto porches have long been a tradition. Our 11/16" simulated putty glaze mullions allows the use of high performance glass while matching historical profiles. The recessed flat panels with mitered moulding are authentic to the style. Our moveable louver shutters with screens are the perfect compliment to these doors because they allow the doors to be opened to the interior for air. They are closed over the opening, providing insect protection, and the moveable louvers are used to control light and privacy in the room.
