What quality standards should I look for in a hand-made carriage house door? (part I in a series)

At a minimum, look for the following:

  • Custom solid vertical grain Douglas Fir jamb with airtight replaceable weatherstripping to enable the door to seal between the building and the door.  Is applied “door stop” the same?  No, it is a cheap builder/contractor approach to circumvent a quality jamb and weathersealing system.
