Doors:

Fryburg Door offers two options for cabinet doors: Custom & Semi-Custom Grades.

Custom Grade:

  • Fryburg Door’s original line of doors
  • Fryburg Door constructs all doors with a full 1” extended tennon in addition to our 3/8” cope. (Some exceptions apply: glass and wide inside edge profiles.)
  • Fryburg Door refers to door framing as uprights (stiles) and cross pieces (rails.)
  • Fryburg Door refers to door sizing as width x height.
  • Our standard “Custom Grade” framing is 2 ¼” uprights and 2 ¾” cross pieces. You may request any width. Indicate if the framing widths are different than our standard.
  • Standard framing will vary with certain applied molding combinations.
  • Size tolerance of plus or minus 1/32.”
  • Warp tolerance – up to 1/8”warp on doors under 48.”
  • Bow – Fryburg Door warrants bow: over 1/16” under 40” and over 1/8” on 40-48.”
  • Stain groove that allows stain onto the panel, so pre-staining panels is not necessary.
  • All panels are color and grain matched
  • Panel hand sanded at 180 grit prior to assembly, door wide belt sanded 150/180 after assembly, and then hand sanded with 180 grit
  • All species and profile options available (see door catalog for options)
  • All doors have a maximum sanding width of 50”.
  • Minimum panel size that can be raised: 3 ½” x 3 ½”
  • Minimum measurement between framing to have raise:
    • 3” between uprights to machine a full raise on most raise options
    • 4” between uprights that have an applied molding applied that hangs over inside edge to machine a full raise on most raise options
  • Shortest cross-piece that can be machined
    • Panel – 3 ½”
    • Glass – 4”
  • Arches, Cathedrals, and Roman Designs
    • No less than 8” opening to achieve full detail of profile
  • 5 piece drawer front: Automatically receive HORIZONTAL grain. (You must specify if want vertical grain.)
    • V-Groove and Beaded Panels receive vertical grain. Panels with vertical grain can be no wider than 30.”
      • Horizontal grain is available, upon request.

Fryburg Door encourages that ALL DOORS THAT EXCEED 48” in length be made into a multiple panel product. You must specify on all multiple panel doors how many panels that you want. Fryburg Door will not assume how many panels that you may want based on door size.

Fryburg Door will not warrant any door or end panel over 48” long, regardless of the number of panels.

Doors must be ordered by “exact size” and not opening size. Fryburg Door does not figure door sizes off of opening dimensions.
