(A)  A dutch door is essentially two horizontal door halves, with the top and bottom halves operating independently from each other. You can close the bottom for some privacy, while leaving the top open, allowing fresh air into the room and enabling you to have a conversation with someone on the other side of the door. Dutch doors also make a great baby gate, and can be used for a nursery or play room door. When the top and bottom are locked
together, the two sections work as one, like a standard door. The dutch door originated in the Netherlands in the early 1600’s.

(A)    A slab door is a door having no jamb material attached to it, no holes bored in it or hinges attached. This could be almost any style door ( Raised Panel , Flat Panel , French Doors with Glass , Solid or Hollow, wood , Steel , Fiberglass ) It’s just a rectangular Slab of material. It would normally be used for a pocket door ,or by-pass doors. And a pre-hung door would have a jamb , bored holes & hinges on it.

(A)   Lead time simply put is the time it takes from you placing an order to us manufacturing and loading your order on the truck for delivery. Our lead time is designated as FOB (From Our Business) and will vary at different times of the year depending on the amount and size of current orders. Occasionally events such as
machinery breakdown or illness in the plant will cause a setback.
Under normal circumstances our lead time is 2-4 weeks but has gotten as high as 6-8. Rest assured that we do everything we can to meet these lead times but they are estimated lead times. Your salesperson will discuss our current lead time with you. The freight company delivery time is not factored in to lead times. We use only reputable carriers whose destination arrival times are within reasonable limits.

The start of your lead time is based upon your salesperson’s receipt of the following:

1. Your verification that all aspects of your order are correct. (Door style, wood type, dimensions, door handing and hinge finish selection if applicable, etc.)

2. Your deposit has been made.

3. Your written confirmation that your order is correct and that you want to proceed has been received via email or fax. No verbal approvals can be accepted.
