Custom Wooden Fortress Door: With Genuine Wrought Iron Plated Panel

All of our custom doors are built with the highest quality materials available anywhere. This includes genuine, solid, hand hewn, full length planks of timber that has been naturally cured in the Scottsdale, Arizona desert air. Built with the tried and tested technique of mortise and tenon, pegged and doweled construction. Each entrance is individually handmade in the U.S.A. by skilled master craftsmen, and guaranteed to last forever with little or no maintenance.

The custom wooden fortress door is built it using the same materials and techniques that would have been used by the great architects of the old world. At ArtFactory.com we believe in building furniture and doors that are not something that you just use for a few years and then throw away. Building items that are disposable is a practice that is unique to the past fifty years. Historically, when a piece of furniture was built, it was built from solid, natural materials by master craftsmen. Most importantly, it was built to last forever. Something like solid wood entrance doors would be passed down through a family for generations, along with the home that was also built to last forever. With our custom wooden fortress door, built from solid, full length timber, we have carried that tradition of built to last craftsmanship. A true modern masterpiece inspired by historic designs, and built with period correct methods and materials.

This type of product cannot be built overnight, or with low quality materials. That is why we use the highest quality, full length, solid wood. Then we build it by hand, using the age old, tried and tested method of mortise and tenon joinery. This type materials and construction makes for a product that will stand the test of time. We have also incorporated elements of medieval design into this entrance unique upper panel, that features close groove vertical dungeon planking with rugged decorative nailed accents. The design is completed with the fine art, medieval crested iron plated bottom panel, and gothic iron ring pull. Additionally, all hardware pieces, including the handle, iron kick plate, and even each decorative wrought iron clavos (nails) have been individually hand hammered into shape by our master blacksmiths. This is a single door in a pre-hung solid wood jamb as pictured, but can be built as double doors. All of our custom door designs are available with or without optional viewing windows, speakeasy portals, sidelights, transoms, or anything else you can imagine. Furthermore, although this is a semi-arched topped design in a straight door jamb as pictured, like all of our custom entrances, it can be built with a flat, or full arched top, and for residential or commercial, interior or exterior use.

This Is No Ordinary Entrance Door

Our hand applied, natural stain wood finishes will never crack, flake, chip, or peel off like paints and powder coats. That is because our painstaking and time consuming, hand rubbed stain infusion process begins with fine hand sanding, and infused open grain hand applied stains. Furthermore, additional steps add natural oils, waxes, and lacquers with curing between each step. That puts the finish into the wood, not just sprayed or painted on top of the wood. This makes for a brilliantly colored finish that will stay beautiful for generations with little or no maintenance.

This is not only an investment quality door, it is an appreciable asset that will add to your financial net worth. In the eyes of your family, it will become a cherished heirloom and a priceless piece of immortality that will be tangible for generations.

Custom Wooden Fortress Door Wood Finish Details

Our historically inspired custom entrances are original, world class fine art designs by award winning artist H.J. Nick. Each is that built using the same hand and materials that were used to build the original. H.J. Nick travels the world studying historic architecture to better understand the craftsmanship and materials that were used in constructing the famous castle doors from antiquity. An entrance is not signed until it has been found to meet the same specifications as the original historic door.

The meticulous finish has been done in age old technique, using a 23-step hand rubbed process. We begin with fine hand sanding, and infused open grain hand applied stains. That puts the finish in the wood not just sprayed on it. This allows for the fine natural wood grains to show to perfection. There are then 20 additional steps requiring the application of wax, oils and lacquers with curing times between each process. This method is performed on all furniture and door wood surfaces inside and out. This tried and tested finish detail is required in the making of a one-of-a-kind, family heirloom quality product that meets world class investment quality standards that will stand the test of time.
