Modern Exterior Doors

200811170743.jpgI have a friend here in Salt Lake City that has the same vision of modern that I do. He thinks that the prices being charged for the majority of stuff are way overpriced. Where we differ is that he actually has the skills and the resources to do something about it. He recently started playing around with making some contemporary doors. In an effort to avoid just copying someone else style, he has been playing around with mounting a 1″ piece of glass perpendicular to the door surface. I took a look at this door last week, and it looks amazing. The one in this photo is actually an interior door, but they also had an exterior door in the works. While talking about exterior doors, we both wondered. What do most people feel is affordable for a modern exterior door? Give us some feedback in the poll below. Also what do you think of the door? Hate it? Love it? Come on we can take it.

For more info about the door, check out modfab.utahmodern.org.

Creede is a frugal design junkie. He loves miminamist and mid-century influences and often finds himself with a hammer and drill in hand in order to achieve the style he wants without breaking the bank.

    Love it, love it, love it! Well done. And, what is the price????

  • http://atomicindy.blogspot.com/ barrett

    Love it. I’m actually in the market for an affordable modern exterior door. Adding this to my short list. Shannon walker is another option: http://shannonwalkerdesign.blogspot.com/ . Crestview is just way too out of range.

    One thing I think the poll question fails to address is the pre-hung, not pre-hung factor. Will these doors be pre-hung or not? Will they come pre cut for knobs/locks, etc.

    Good point on the poll barrett. I updated it to say “prehung”. There are only 23 votes so far, so hopefully it doesn’t skew the results too much.

  • Marianna

    I would buy one today…
    I have a modern house with a really ugly 7 foot front door and I am planning on replacing it soon. But because it is not a standard size I am worried about how much this is going to cost.
    Yeah I also agree that a front door SHOULDN’T cost several thousand dollars. Jeesh!…

  • http://Grassrootsmodern.com Creede

    Looks like right around $500 is what most people are thinking would be affordable. Sounds about right to me. We paid $600 for our back door at our last house..

  • http://Grassrootsmodern.com Creede

    How funny that google is serving up ads for Crestview. LOL. I admit though, that whole door o vision thing is pretty sweet.

  • http://midcenturyutah.blogspot.com/ Carina

    I kind of just fell in love.

  • http://www.7threadz.com Jes

    LOVE the door! Was doing research last year on modern doors and found nothing like it (and this would have been perfect!). Good thing I have another door that needs to be replaced….

  • http://talismanhouse.blogspot.com April

    That’s a great-looking door! I’m glad now that we haven’t replaced our door yet, maybe we’ll have a chance to get a great modern one instead. As far as the poll goes, for us personally, it would have to be $500 or less.

  • http://kingswoodredux.blogspot.com/ troy.

    I’m a big fan of this door!

  • http://atomicindy.blogspot.com/ Baz

    So the question remains – how do we got one?

    -Baz

  • mark

    love it! have been looking for modern interior doors and these look great. ~$500/each seems reasonable.

  • Lyndsey

    Creede- Love the door. You know how we are in need of a new front door. How can we get one or look at some other options from the same guy?

  • Extreme Designer

    I think this door is pretty amazing.

    -Kate

  • Peter

    Absolutely love the door! We recently moved into a 1957, single-level contemporary and the family who lived here prior (since 1963!) did everything they could to undo the authentic mid-century look of the original architecture, including replacing the original front door with a Home Depot 3 panel with an oval, floral, beveled-glass cutout. Ugh! We would love to replace it with one of these! Please, please, please send us your info!
    - Peter.

    we are building a new modern detached garage and need a door to match. Rainscreen T&G cedar exterior and bronze/glass garage door. we are trying to get this done in a few/several weeks, so let us know if that is possible; otherwise, keep us posted as we are also needing doors for the new modern house addition next spring.

    cheers.

  • http://grassrootsmodern.com clyde

    beautiful!!! The door on the remodled house? Who am I talking to here? How does one go about obtaining such a thing of beauty. I have great taste but no skills to speak of (not even numb-chuck) but have urgent need for just such a door. How much and how soon are two questions that come to mind…this site is exceptionally confusing…I’d like a Phone # any chance?

    I have been reading your blog for a while now, it’s a daily one for me and I love it. I remembered this post from a long time ago and was revisiting because I am looking for an exterior door that’s a little different. The link at the bottom doesn’t link to your friends stuff. Can you send a new link or something to get in touch with your friend?

  • Jabraham

    Did you ever get any info on this?

  • Anonymous

    The guy that usually makes them is gone for 4 months. I have another source that can make them for $2000 plus shipping if you are interested.

    Yes please, send it my way.

    He said it’s basically a 36″ x 6′ 8″ door. The glass is one piece with the center cut out for the walnut. I believe at that price, it’s just a slab door, and doesn’t have any spots for hinges, handles, locks etc cut into it. That would have to be handled by whoever installs it. Final finishing would also be done at the time of install so it matches the frame.
    Let me know your address, and how many you would like, and I can send a formal quote that includes shipping.
    Thanks!
