Wood security doors are a valuable choice for homeowners. These doors have the great look of a storm door, but the added value of a security door. They contain a wire mesh screen behind a basic door frame so residents can see people approaching. A lock on the door handle stops anyone from entering without their permission. The door manufacturer
Columbia has a large variety of wood security doors available.
The Hollister is one of the most popular wood security doors available from
Columbia. The door features four vertical and four horizontal wood tubes of one square inch that form a Craftsman style pattern on the front. The pieces are woven together to prevent any breaking or separation of the pieces over time. The wood itself is specially treated and then dried in a kiln to stop any damage from rain, snow or sleet.
This wood security door can be customized to fit the needs of the customer. A full length mesh screen easily slides inside behind the wood pieces or customers can use a piece of flexible plastic during colder months.
Columbia has four wood tones available in this model: mahogany, fir, poplar and oak. In addition this door is specially made to fit any size door. The customer sends in their measurements and the door is created using those measurements. That makes it perfect for those who have a hard to fit doorframe.
The Bristol wood security door features a 12 inch wood bottom and two inch wood border surrounding the design that adds stability and strength. A removable wire screen slips in behind the door for protection and can also be replaced with an optional plastic piece. Tenon and Mortise wood were used in the construction of the door and then kiln fired to seal in the moisture. This protects the door against danger from the environment.
Customers can then pick a stain color: mahogany, fir, oak or popular. Once the stain is applied, it’s specially treated to seal in the color. Four horizontal wood pieces and two vertical wood pieces of half-inch create a pleasing design and add some protection. The Bristol is only available through custom order and clients must send in their specific measurements before the door is crafter.
The Huntington wood security door is the most basic design offered by
Columbia. This door features a wide four inch tall panel on the bottom and two inch wide wood panels on the sides and top. The wood pieces form a wide border for a steel wire screen that protects against vandals. Optional is a tempered plastic piece that can be used to replace the screen for those who want it.
Once again customers can choose one of the four wood stains for the door: oak, poplar, mahogany or fir. The stain is applied to the surface of the door and dried in a special kin to set in the stain and keep it looking good in the coming years. The Bristol is customizable, meaning that the door is built on the measurements specified by the customer.
Also available from
Columbia is the high class and elegantly designed Fulton wood security door and screen door. Customers pick the stain they want from oak, poplar, mahogany and fir. The stain is mixed and applied to the wood security door, then fired in a kiln to ensure that it doesn’t flake or chip. Two vertical and two horizontal wood tubes of one inch are inserted into the border of the door and treated with a special glue that’s water resistant. This keeps the tubes in place even when exposed to tremendous amounts of moisture.
The Fulton was specially designed to take an extreme amount of pressure. A four inch piece of wood attached to the bottom can slide for years without sticking and a one inch wide border surrounding the rest of the door adds a touch of elegance while also remaining functional. The door comes with a removable wire screen and a thin, flexible plastic piece. During colder months the plastic screen keeps the occupants warm, while the screen works during the warmer months when the door might be left open. Keeping in line with the other wood security doors from
Columbia, this door is created using specific measurements given by the customer. This ensures that the door is a perfect fit for their house and for their door frame.
Customers shopping for a wood security door from
Columbia should be advised that the doors do not include hardware. Door handles, locks and knockers are all sold separately. This allows the customer to customize the door and create their perfect one. Depending on the location of the door hardware, the door can open to the right or the left. It’s one of the many features found on all wood security doors from
Columbia.
