About
Us
Founded in 1999, Millworkforless.com was one of the
first e-commerce sites to offer wood entry doors, interior doors, and
wooden garage doors for sale online. We are based in Hummelstown, PA near
Harrisburg and the world famous Hershey chocolate factory, but we ship
our doors throughout the US and Canada.
We set out to be the best online door store offering home builders,
architects, designers, and homeowners a premium quality custom built
Phirst & Lassing™
door made to order in the USA.
We are a privately owned and operated company that grew up in the
building materials industry. With over 150 years combined experience, we
have carefully aligned ourselves with companies that share our passion
for a
robust wood door product at a fair price.
Last time we took a look around, it was obvious
there were about as many ways to hinge and hang a door in a frame as
there are flavors of ice cream in the supermarket freezers. Many
companies work in standard specs. They have set formulas for jamb sizes,
hinge types, sill profiles and large tolerances for assembly. Their
product is so standard, their shop cuts nothing they screw hinges to
wood and call it a door. Companies try to go as fast as possible, to
turn out as much product as quickly and cheaply as they can. They face
enormous pressure on cost control and work to meet price points set by
their clients. The approach described here likely describes 98% of the
interior and exterior door suppliers in the North America.
Do not let our name fool you. Millworkforless does
nothing the fast or in a cheap way. All our doors are solid wood. Only our
engineered stiles are laminated onto a core to ensure our doors stay
vertically straight. All our panels, cross rails, muntins and frame
parts are solid lumber. Our frame systems are solid also. Many companies
layer their jambs and veneer them. That looks fine, but subject to
jobsite damage, they can be very hard to repair. When working with solid
lumber parts, if a dent or chip occurs, repair is quite manageable. When
working with veneered product, a clear repair is nearly impossible.
Because we build every door in house and to our
customer specifications, size just really does not matter. If your door needs
to be within an 1/8” of an inch or a standard size, it does not cost us any more or any less to
meet your requirement. Our saws move for free so why should we charge
you more for “non-standard” sizing. Maybe our name, MIllworkforless,
does fit as we do not financially punish our customers for ordering
sizing they cannot find in the catalogs of other suppliers. Even the
sales representatives you work with at other companies sometimes feel
doors only come in prescribed sizes, frankly, they may actually believe
that fact as their experience is limited in wood doors because they are
also selling products ranging from framing lumber to sheetrock and
roofing.
It is not fair to say we only know wood doors, but
that is all we make and our only focus. If you can imagine your door and
any feature it can provide for you, we can produce it. Not fast, not
cheap, but really excellent quality and at price that an equivalent
quality product cannot be purchased elsewhere, again, making our name
MIllworkforless very fitting. We could say Fabulous Millworkforless, but
imagine typing in that web address!
