Each fortress door is:

• 4-inch-thick natural air-cured cedar cypress construction – stronger, denser, and longer-lasting than kiln-dried woods.
• A species choice trusted by ArtFactory since 1913, well established as one of the most durable exterior woods in the world.
• Naturally weather, insect, and moisture-decay resistant, making it ideal for long-term outdoor use.
• Mortise-and-tenon joinery with peg dowel construction, ensuring structural integrity that outlasts glued or nailed methods.
• Precision-designed structural hardware, engineered to withstand twice hurricane-force winds.
• Decorative hardware, handles, and pulls, hand-forged by our master blacksmiths using Old-World methods passed down for generations.
• Hand-rubbed finishes, infused into the wood itself rather than layered on top, ensuring a permanence that never requires refinishing — only the occasional application of oils that allow the wood to breathe.
• Guaranteed to last forever — each door is a generational investment, built as both an heirloom and a fortress.
