What are 500 Series “MITERED” Raised Panel Doors?
500 Series Doors are 3/4″ thick SOLID “RAISED PANEL” Wood Doors. “RAISED PANEL” means that the center panel is made of SOLID wood and raised up to the same thickness as the frame of the door… The 4 pieces of the Outside Frame of the Door are connected using a “MITERED” Joint. This 45 degree joint is the same type of joint used when making Picture Frames. The advantage to this type of joint is that wood pieces that make up the frame can be much more decorative than they can be in the 300 series “Mortise & Tenon” doors. The frame of the door will always be square. Arched doors cannot be made with this type of joint, but that is more than made up for with the beautifully sculptured molding that makes up the 4 pieces of the door frame. 500 SERIES Raised Panel Doors…. ..Have the most elegant look available of ALL the doors we offer….Besides the Wood Species, the Style of the Door (504, 521, etc.), and all the different color Finishes available, You also get to choose the Outside Edge
