Our beautiful early 1930s Beach home had a broken front door that we'd been planning to replace for ages. It would have to be custom-made, as it was a few inches larger than standard sizes. And we wanted laminated glass and a multipoint looking system for security.
After more than a year of grief working with another company whose workmanship simply didn't cut it, we turned to Amberwood.
They understood the issues, worked with us patiently until we were happy with the stained-glass design, were in regular email and telephone contact and shipped us several stain and glass samples to approve.
Finally, our new door was ready!
Amberwood's installers were fast, professional and meticulous. Th
y were great to work with and did a tidy job. The door fit so precisely they were able to reuse our original gumwood trim, for a truly custom look.
We were very pleased with the glass, the workmanship of the door and the installation; all in all, an excellent experience.

- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
- If you need a custom wood door, try to have an idea of what you want (stain colour, hardware colour, how much glass, stained glass design, locking options, etc.) and be open to suggestions from the manufacturer to get the latest technology married with a traditional (or postmodern, if you wish) look. An entry door is key to the first impression your home makes on visitors.
