QUESTIONS ABOUT ORDER PLACEMENT

1.       Do you offer custom sized and styled cafe doors?

Yes, we can custom make louvered or solid wood cafe door sets. Simply call us for a price quote. We will need to know what your finished door opening measurement is, what height you want your door to be and what wood species you are interested in. 

2.       How do I know what café door size to order?

We offer the three most common door sizes:  30, 32 or 36 inch widths. 

All of our café doors are prefit which means they are specifically made for the finished door opening they are sized for all while taking in space allowances for hinge installation and a center gap between the panels to allow for proper panel swing. 

Therefore, if your finished door width measures 32 inches, then you would order the 32 inch café door set. 

3.       My door opening is slightly smaller than the door sizes you offer.  What are my options?

First, please contact us with your specific finished door opening measurement so we can discuss the options with you.  However, in general, you have the following option:

With the louvered door sets only, up to ½ inch can be trimmed off the right and left vertical stiles or edges of the panels.  This will allow you a 2 inch variation between your door opening and our door sizes available.

Please note that while trimming the max of ½ inch off the vertical stiles does not affect the structural integrity of the café door, it will expose the inner wood dowels.  This will only be visible if the panels are stained instead of painted and only when held in the opened position.

If you do not have the know-how or tools to trim the panels yourself, we offer a “trim service” for an additional $35 charge.  Please contact us for details.

4.       My door opening is slightly larger than the door sizes you offer.  What are my options?

First, please contact us with your specific finished door opening measurement so we can discuss the options with you.  However, in general, you have the following option:

Decorative wood trim pieces or spacers can be installed to the necessary thickness under each hinge to take up the extra space.  For example, if your finished door opening is 37 inches, you would install ½ inch thick spacers under each hinge and install the 36 inc door set on top of the spacers.

5.       My door opening is quite a bit larger than the door sizes you offer.  What are my options?

First, please contact us with your specific finished door opening measurement so we can discuss the options with you.  However, in general, you have the following option:

You can install or have a carpenter install a pillar-like appearance against your door jambs to the necessary thickness to take up the large extra gap by installing 1x’s in graduating smaller widths. 

For example, if your finished door opening is 42 inches, you would fist install a 1x4 against the right and left door jambs.  Then centered on top of the 1x4, you would install a 1x3; then centered on top of the 1x3, you would install a 1x2.  Now you install the hinges directly on top of the 1x2 using extra long screws that will reach well into your original door jamb and hang your café door.

6.       I’m ordering several café doors with a weight over 75 pounds.  How do I place this order?

A Cafe Door are louvered swinging western doors that are used in saloons bars pubs restaurants taverns and even in residences. Cafe doors are great for dividing spaces. Cafe doors offer privacy without closing off an area completely. So think of using cafe doors or saloon doors when installing a new room divider.
