Why a door from us
Built by the person you talk to
- 01
Drawn to scale first
Panels, rails, glass and hardware in proportion for your opening. A taller or wider door is redrawn, not stretched, so it still looks right on your house. You judge it on paper before anything is cut.
- 02
Wood chosen for your exposure
Front Range air is dry and the sun is strong on south and west faces. A wood door in full sun with no overhang is a maintenance commitment, so we ask which way yours faces before picking the wood: mahogany, sapele and white oak for exposed entries, Douglas fir for value.
- 03
Local rules, written down
What Longmont and Boulder publish about permits, wildfire code and landmark review for front doors, with links to the source.
- 04
One maker, door to cabinets
One person to call, from the first drawing to the finished door, and no handoffs between a salesperson and a shop. The same shop can carry the wood and finish from the front door into the house.
We are a new shop. Spindle Woodworks opened in 2026 as Woodridge Cabinets and has no finished customer front doors to show yet; the first one goes on this site with real photos. The photographs on this site are labeled illustrations until then.
