Taos Door & Hardware Co
HistoryI started this business with a marketing partner that worked in S.California for higher end houses. I came up with a method of deep wire brushing and weathering that was popular at that time and place. It was a good run, but soon learned that partners were for dancing. I slowly built up the business and my wife joined the business in 1996. We opened a small retail space in Taos and started growing from there. We bult a new woodshop about that time to expand the manufacturing end of things. We closed our in town showroom in 2008 and set up hardware and door displays at our woodshop and residence. This makes for a much more relaxed and personal approach to our services. We enjoy what we do.SpecialtiesWe design, fabricate ,finish, and install handcrafted doors built in the old world tradition. All our doors are built using 3 inch deep mortise and tenon construction. We work in solid wood only. ( no veneers). We prefer to prehang the doors in their jamb at the shop, install the latch, lock, weatherstrip, threshold, and door bottom, so when it arrives onsite, the door is ready for installation and use. We can also supply a dunnage door if you wish to remove the finished door until construction is complete. This protects the finished door from damage. We also fabricate heavy duty screen and screen/storm doors that match the design, texture, and finish of your entry door. All the glass used in our doors is saftey glass, not tempered glass. We find the saftey glass is much more difficult to break and does not make a mess of small pieces if ever it does break. We also can do stained or leaded glass inside the thermal saftey glass. We also have a metal shop and do our own forged ironwork.
