What Makes Great Northern Door Different?
Great Northern Door is known for building doors that bring together architectural design, durable construction, and standout curb appeal. Our product lines include handcrafted natural wood doors, custom garage and entry door designs, and our signature DURA-EEZ™ alternative composite doors.
DURA-EEZ™ is a patented composite product line created for customers who want the warmth and texture of real wood with improved resistance to many of the common maintenance concerns associated with natural wood. Built using AZEK® TimberTech® Advanced PVC boards on the exterior-facing surface, DURA-EEZ™ garage doors and entry doors provide a realistic wood-like appearance with lower-maintenance performance.
For builders, architects, and dealers, this means a premium door solution that can help elevate a project, support distinctive design goals, and reduce common concerns related to moisture, rot, insects, warping, splitting, cracking, cupping, peeling, and exterior maintenance.

Every door that leaves our shop carries the pride of the team behind it, from the hands that shape the materials to the people who help guide each order along the way. And like any good shop, we have a four-legged teammate keeping watch and ready for a little attention.
