We’re also thrilled to showcase our new Impact-Rated Pivot Doors.These aren't just grand architectural statements; they are built with the resilience to protect what matters most, without ever compromising on style.

Don’t just build a house. Build a home that looks after the people inside.

Exterior Front Entry Door Design Trends, 2025–2026

By Shayan Behjati
Dec 18, 2025

Front door trends for 2025–2026 emphasize a shift toward a door as an architectural focal point, defined by:

Monumental Scale: Oversized, floor-to-ceiling pivot doors.
Glazing: Increased light via large glass, balanced with privacy through textured or reeded glass.
Materials & Color: A preference for natural wood finishes, high-performance modified timbers, and dramatic matte black or rich earth-toned finishes.
Form: A duality of sculptural arched entryways and sleek, handle-less flush minimalism.
Technology: Invisible integration of smart locks and access systems that do not compromise the design aesthetic.

US Door & More and Doma Introduce a New Category: The Intelligent Wood Door

Dec 16, 2025

Modern intelligent wood door with embedded technology by Doma, built by US Door & More

US Door & More has introduced a new category in architectural entry systems with the launch of an intelligent wood door developed in collaboration with Doma, the intelligence layer for the modern home. Instead of simplifying the door to fit technology, the door was designed around Doma’s embedded intelligence while preserving true stile-and-rail construction, real directional wood materials, and modern architectural proportions. The result is a design-forward wood door that looks as advanced as the technology inside it, delivering seamless automation without batteries, add-ons, or visual compromise. The intelligent wood door powered by Doma will be displayed live at the International Builders’ Show (IBS) 2026 in Orlando.

RTA vs. Pre-Hung Doors: Which Is the Smarter Choice?

Aug 7, 2025

RTA (Ready-to-Assemble) doors ship in compact parts, cutting freight and packaging costs, reducing damage risk, and making handling easier. They give nationwide buyers direct access to better prices and options without dealer markups. If a part is damaged, it can be replaced quickly without scrapping the entire door.

Pre-hung doors arrive fully assembled, offering convenience but at a higher cost. They require heavy freight, are harder to move, and damage to one part often means replacing the whole unit — delaying projects and raising expenses.

Bottom line: RTA doors deliver lower costs, greater flexibility, and fewer headaches for homeowners, contractors, and manufacturers — without sacrificing quality or performance.
