Situated in Hummelstown, PA near Harrisburg and the world famous Hershey chocolate factory, we were one of the first e-commerce door stores. Online since 1999, millworkforless.com has sold and shipped wood entry doors, interior doors, and wooden garage doors throughout the US and Canada.
We work with home builders, architects, designers, and homeowners to manufacture premium quality custom built Phirst & Lassing doors to their specifications. We are a privately owned and operated company that grew up in the building materials industry. With over 150 years combined experience, we are millwork specialists and 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 were 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 that their shop cuts nothing and 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 fast or in a cheap way. All our doors are solid wood. Only our engineered stiles are laminated onto a core to ensure the doors stay vertically straight. All our panels, cross rails, muntins, frame systems and parts are solid lumber. 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 of a standard size, it does not cost us any more or any less to meet your requirement. We do not charge 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 sheet-rock and roofing.
It is not fair to say we only know wood doors, but that is all we make and is our primary 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 at a reasonable price.
