Historical Appeal & Timeless Class of Arch Top Entry Doors
A well-crafted arched door makes for an impressive entryway to your home. Even if your home’s doorway has a standard rectangular design, this does not prevent you from having an arched entry to your home. As an arch top entry door manufacturer, we make it possible to improve the style of your home’s doorway without having to adjust its surrounding molding or structure. As you can learn below, we offer dozens of arched door styles, plenty of popular wood species, and competitive prices for even the most elegant solid wood door you might want to order.
20+ Standard Solid Wood Arch Top Entry Door Designs
Allegheny Wood Works is a popular source for completely custom solid wood arch top entry doors, but our customers can typically find exactly what they are looking for from our extensive variety of standard door designs. We have more than 20 all-wood arch top style designs to choose from in our Series 300 and Series 600 lineups. Our catalog also includes our series 700 radial top doors that offer impressive customization options for paneling and styles. Our website makes it easy to browse these options. It is also worth noting that each can come with raised or flat paneling or a solid flush style.
Handcrafted Series 700 Arch Top Entry Doors
If you are looking for a bolder archway design, very few options available on the market can compete with our Series 700 radial top doors. We offer these all-wood doors in a dozen paneling styles you can view on our website. Each of these paneling options can be raised or mission-flat depending on your preferences. Our radial top entry doors are also made without glass panes like the Series 300 and Series 600 doors. However, they have a unique style that lends the appearance of a Roman arch and makes for a truly impressive entryway to your home.
Arch Top Entry Doors with Glass Framing
A wood-only door will look great, but some customers prefer glass framing to let more light in their home and to make seeing who is outside easier. If that describes you, you can look through our selection of arch top door designs that include glass paneling too. Many of these look like their all-wood counterparts but emphasize the top’s arch design with a row of great-looking glass frames. These standard styles can be seen in our Series 900 archway door design lineup.
Custom Arch, Frame, and Paneling
Even though we have dozens of doors with arched tops to choose from, you might browse our selection and find something missing. If that turns out to be the case, you are in luck because we are an arch top door manufacturer that is open to crafting custom doors. Do not hesitate to contact us for a discussion if you want to work together to put together a one-off door design that is uniquely suited to your home’s entryway.
Finding The Right Species for Your Arch Top Entry Doors
After you home in on the perfect style for your arch top door, there is one more fun part of the process to complete. Choosing your wood. We have over two dozen species of wood you can choose from for your exterior door. These include a range of maples with different hardness, rustic varieties like white oak and cherry, and sturdy walnut to name just a few. On our website, you can browse the complete list of woods you can choose for your order, and you can also contact us if you would like a recommendation from our team that will suit your doorway well.

Key Features of Our Manufacturing Process
All solid wood arch top entry doors manufactured by Allegheny Wood Works incorporate several unique features that provide considerable durability and elegant beauty. Starting with premium wood products procured through our long-standing relationships with regional and global suppliers, our experienced team applies the following principles throughout our manufacturing process for every door that leaves our facility.
- Engineered Side Stiles: All side stiles are made from solid wood and do not use any veneer or particleboard. These durable components help ensure all arch top entry doors will provide considerable durability and longevity even after years of exposure to challenging environmental conditions like seasonal weather and fluctuations in either temperature or humidity.
- Solid Rail Construction: All center stiles and horizontal rails incorporated into the door design feature two solid boards glued together rather than alternative materials. This provides the incredible beauty of natural wood and will help prevent warping or movement.
- Hidden Foam Expansion Inserts: Given that there is no way to eliminate the expansion and contraction of natural wood, Allegheny Wood Works incorporates hidden foam expansion inserts into arch top entry doors. These inserts are used between stiles and panels to help reduce the pressure seen when the wood expands and prevents cracking.
- Solid Wood Panels: Again, Allegheny Wood Works does not compromise on materials and uses solid wood panels instead of veneer and particleboard. These panels can minimize cupping or cracking and further enhance the appearance of the final door design.
