Examples of Custom Front Doors for Upscale Properties
High-end homes can take a wide variety of styles, from classic French country homes to rustic chalets and stunning coastal estates. Allegheny Wood Works has worked with customers throughout the country to develop custom front entry doors that match the design of their new builds and can even replicate historic styles on revitalization projects. Below are five examples of how Allegheny Wood Works can take a relatively standard door design and create a wholly custom project for luxury homes.

The Series 700 is one of our most popular and extravagant offerings. Featuring a dramatic arched top, dual floating raised panels, and optional sidelites or transom windows, this design delivers an unmistakable sense of class and is perfect for high-end homes throughout the country. A custom Series 700 Raised Panel or Mission Flat Panel door is well-suited for luxury properties that blend European architectural influences with timeless craftsmanship.
Series 300 – Mission-Style Raised Panel with Arch

Suggested Wood Species: Knotty Alder, White Oak, Walnut
Standard Height Options: 80″, 84″, 96″
The Series 300 features strong vertical stiles, soft arch detailing, and robust raised panels for a refined yet simplistic look. The Series 300 Mission-Style design pairs well with high-end homes that want to emphasize architectural integrity and showcase hand-finished textures throughout the home.

Best for: Brutalist homes or modern luxury homes
Suggested Wood Species: White Oak, Walnut, Mahogany
Standard Height Options: 80″, 84″, 96″, up to 108″
Simple yet refined, the Series 100 proves that minimal design can still make a bold statement with a lack of definable features. The clean-faced panel layout works beautifully in homes that favor sharp lines, glass accents, and contemporary color schemes. Pairing traditional stunning wood species like white oak, walnut, and mahogany with optional sidelites or metal inlays can further elevate the design.
Custom Wood Door with Etched Glass
