Why Kestrel Closet Doors?

Your doors make a statement about yourself and, as such, you should be able to express yourself.  We believe that you should not have to settle for the mass produced stamped steel, hollow core or super-thin wood doors of the world.  Instead we offer you another choice. Several choices actually, with each solid wood closet door design available in unlimited custom sizes suitable for hinged, sliding, pocket and bifold closet door applications.

Need Custom Doors?

Custom door designs and sizes are no problem.  We offer several options including custom thickness and wood species, doors fitted for mirrors and glass, hand printed fabrics and tapered louvers. We also offer an historic reproduction service or we can work from your own drawings.

Well Made

We hand build our interior doors and closet doors the same way we build our interior and exterior shutters. We start with clear, kiln dried, premium hardwoods like Basswood, Spanish Cedar and Mahogany. Then using traditional mortise and tenon joinery we hand assemble your doors. In other words, we don't skimp.

"Green" Doors and Leed Credits

Kestrel shutters and doors can contribute towards LEED credits to help your project's LEED certification. To learn more about how we responsibly manufacture our doors to help lessen their enviromental impact please contact our sales department.

Standard Features

  • Solid Hardwood Construction to insure premium grade doors. We mill all of our kiln dried lumber to insure qualtiy. We never use MDF or finger jointed material.

  • Pegged, mortise and tenon joinery that is historically accurate and provides a door frame that out-performs dowel and screw joints.

  • True Custom Sizing. We hand build every door to your custom size so that they are a perfect fit. We never cut down stock sizes.

  • 3/8" Thick Louver blades are available in 1.7/8", 2.1/2" and 3.1/2" widths, in either a flat or tapered profile.

  • Floating panels to allow for expansion and contraction. Panel designs include both Colonial and Traditional raised, Shaker flat and recessed Philadelphia Federal

  • 3/4" Thick Tongue & Groove material milled as individual boards to give maximum strength and allow for expansion and contraction.

  • Removeable trim so that you can switch out your glass or mirror insert whenever you want.

  • Removeable, spring loaded dowels allow you to easily switch out your fabric whenever you wish to change the style of your room.

Optional Features

Every application is different and can have it's own set of requirements. Because of this we offer several options including wood species, custom stile and rail sizes, minimum air flow, arch tops and more. For a complete list click on the Available Options tab above.

Applications

  • Closet Doors - Louvered doors and fabric doors are well suited to closets as they help provide ventilation so that your clothes and stored items do not become musty. Where ventilation is not a concern we also offer panel, tongue & groove and bead board doors. Mix and match desgins with mirrors to achieve even greater functionality.

  • Cabinet Doors - Kestrel doors can be scaled in size to give your kitchen a whole new look while matching your Kestrel closet and interior doors.

  • Bathroom Doors - We offer doors with true louvers, that allow air flow, as well as bathroom doors with false louvers, panels and tongue & groove that provide more privacy. Where a high humidity is a concern we can build your bathroom doors out of Spanish Ceder or Honduran Mahogany.

  • Interior Doors - Louvered interior doors can allow free air flow through out your home resulting in better distribution during heating and cooling. For more privacy and insulating value consider our panel doors, tongue & Groove doors and bead board doors. For a more unique look combine any style with your own colored or frosted glass.

  • Cabana Doors - For exterior applications where you need ventilation, such as cabanas, outdoor showers and changing rooms we offer louvered doors built from either Spanish Cedar or Honduran Mahognay.

  • Wardrobe Doors - Retrofit that old wardrobe or book shelf with a new pair of Kestrel louvered Doors and give your room a whole new look.

  • Shower Stall Doors - Whether it is a bathroom shower or an outdoor shower a louvered door will help reduce moisture buildup. We offer our shower stall doors made in either Spanish Cedar or Honduran Mahogany.

  • Utility Room Doors - Certain appliances, such as furnaces and wine coolers, require a minimum amount of airflow. If this air flow is not met the motor can overheat and fail. Just let us know your requirements and we will suggest the louvered door designs that will meet your needs. Where soundproofing is a concern, such as with laundry and utility rooms, consider a panel, tongue & groove and bead board door.
