Specialty Doors

Some spaces call for more than a standard door — they call for something with purpose, personality, or just a little ingenuity. Our Specialty Doors are designed for those moments, blending function with custom craftsmanship to solve unique needs without sacrificing style.

From Dutch doors that bring in light and air, to hidden passage doors, sliding barn doors, and custom-built solutions, each piece is made to fit your space and how you actually live in it. Whether it’s about flexibility, privacy, or making a statement, these doors are anything but ordinary.

Because sometimes the best features in a home are the ones you didn’t know you needed — until you see them done right.

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 →

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.

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.
