Searching Online For Custom Wood Doors

Some architects and general contractors learn about all of their distributors via

simple word of mouth, but scouring the Internet can be a much better way to find the best products, service options, and prices. If youre looking for custom wood or hollow metal doors for a project, read on for some of the advantages of conducting your search online.

Products Galore

Distributor websites typically contain a stock list of their custom wood doors and other products. These lists make it easy to browse the inventory without having to deal with a pushy salesperson. Stock lists are usually divided by door type, with rows and columns containing width, height, and thickness measurements. By searching with such exact terms, youll be able to see if a prospective distributor has the ready-to-assemble or pre hung doors you desire. Lets say youre looking to place an order for 26-inch custom wood doors that are 1.75 inches thick and 96 inches tall with hollow cores. According to the stock list, this combination is not in stock, however you can purchase similar doors with 24- or 28-inch widths in either rotary cut birch (RCB) or medium density fiber (MDF). Will these alternatives work for your project? Thats up to you. Along with specific size data, look for a veneer gallery to explore your aesthetic options. Keep in mind that an online gallery is a great place to start and can help you narrow down your choices, but to truly experience the intricacies of a grain of wood you will have to request a free sample.

Customer Service

Even if youre browsing online, you should be able to get a sense of a prospective distributors customer service through the company website. Think about your needs. Do you want access to a specific species of wood? Some distributors will order these veneers especially for you, but not all of them. Do you need custom wood doors of a certain size, such as large statement doors for an entranceway? Again, some distributors will jump at the chance to provide this level of customization, while others lack the expertise or resources to facilitate custom jobs. Another important factor is time. Whether youre ordering residential or commercial wood doors, chances are youre on a deadline, and its important to find a door distributor that understands that pressure. Look for a service that supports rush orders, in addition to providing factory direct shipping for the fastest possible service.

Easy Quotes

Calling up a door distributor can be tedious, especially when you have to read out multiple figures and specifications. Fortunately, many distributor websites now include forms to request quotes right online, whether its 2 p.m. or 2 a.m. The form will allow you to attach documents to your quote request as well, including building schedules, specifications for fire rated doors, and blue prints. Additionally, many services accept quote requests by e-mail and fax as well.

With so many perks, the internet is a valuable resource for architects and contractors searching for wood and hollow metal doors. Get online and start browsing today!
