About Us

Millworks

Doors by design is a manufacturer of elegant  hardwood doors and entry ways for the home. Our doors are made of the finest quality hardwood timber.

Some of the woods we use: Mahogany (Honduran, Indonesian), Honduran Cedar, South American Oak, Andean Walnut, Malga Cherry, Premium Knotty Alder, Hard Maple etc. Our signature collection of doors is defined by the use of these beautiful woods and by the combining of exceptional design and construction with the elements of patterned and beveled glass, metal caming, forged iron and unique, decorative hardware.

Wrought Iron

Doors by Design also carries hand-forged wrought iron doors. These elegant iron doors are faux finished and come in various shapes and designs. Each door is a custom built project and captures the essence of Old World Artistry. Each design brings together new world function with old world grace, elegance and distinction.  Take some time and browse through our portfolio or maybe come up with your own uniquely designed entrance way.

History

 

In 1999, Danny Calahan, Lloyd Clark, George Fowler and Bob Clark formed a partnership and opened a show room at 896 Avery Blvd.Ridgland, MS  39157.   From the beginning, demand for our unique doors was so great that we had no option but to expand. Doors by Design opened a second store in Daphne AL in 2003 and now have a show room  Clark Hall Doors by Design 1440 S Tryon St – Suite 107  Charlotte, NC  28203.   In September 2006, Judah Clark  (603 233-4144) started Clark Quality Doors and Windows 19 Sheffield St Hudson, NH  03051

 

Daphne AL

At the Daphne Store you can relaxe in our show room and browse through our photo albums of many of our designs. Together we can brain storm and come up with your own unique design.  “If you can dream it - we can build it".  “Our antique cypress doors are exactly that, unique in appearance and feel”. You will discover the wood grain and textures are so interesting that they provoke curiosity and you find yourself asking the questions; Where did this wood come from? Was it brought out of a barn or an old house or mill? How old was the building? What is the history of this wood?  

The variety of doors that can be designed is endless, and each door has remarkable style, timeless beauty, and superior quality. The quality of a Doors by Design door is unquestionable because each one is constructed using only the finest materials, for years of lasting satisfaction. Skilled craftsmen build the doors to exact specifications, while every piece of the door, stiles, rails, panels and moulding is hand-sanded for a flawless finish. “Our door panels are installed by hand without glue so that the process produces a ‘floating’ panel that can expand and contract with temperature and humidity changes.  In addition, if you are in need of DP 50 rated doors in specialty wood we have them as well. 
Doors by Design also offers a wide selection of styles with sidelight and transoms that can be grouped in several ways to create a stunning entryway. Whether you prefer a full-length leaded–glass door with matching side lites, a classic Acadian, or even a solid panel door design, you will find it at Doors by Design. If exterior shutters are in your plans, be assured that handcrafted Spanish cedar shutters from Doors by Design will add personal distinction to any home.
