Now you can spec solid wood doors with some assurances that they’ll be unlikely to warp, twist, and separate at the stiles and rails. Developed with coastal applications in mind, the Nantucket Collection combines weather-resistant black locust or Nootka cypress and a construction technique that includes a floating mortise-and-tenon with face-driven pins to eliminate stile and rail separation. It has a design pressure rating of 50 and comes in two thicknesses: 1¾ inches and 2¼ inches. Simpson Door Co., 800.746.7766; www.simpson.com.
