History

Established in 1912 by Henry McCleary and acquired by Simpson Logging Company in 1941, Simpson Door Company is one of the oldest continuously operating door plants in the nation.

Simpson manufactures some of the world's most beautiful wood doors. The company is located in the heart of the Pacific Northwest and produces a wide variety of door designs compatible with nearly every architectural style and price category.

Much of the fine reputation Simpson enjoys today stems from the quality workmanship and caring attitude of our employees. Some of them have ties to the door plant that go back three generations.

With over 85 years of industry "know-how," Simpson Door Company has an asset that not many in this industry can claim!

Custom Doors

We've made creating a unique, signature door a smooth, simple process. It all begins with a few key selections you determine are best for your needs. Then, using the design, species, and dimensions that you specify, Simpson can create your masterpiece. Whether we construct your door with veneer and engineered core components or laminated lumber, we will incorporate both technology and beauty into your individual design.

Design Flexibility

Thanks to the advanced technology in our manufacturing process, we can now accept your sketches and descriptions and turn them into reality. Simply provide us with the design concept you have in mind, and our engineers will determine how to translate it into a truly one-of-a-kind door.

Multiple Wood Species

Once you have a design, you can then select the species of wood that is the best match, whether a classic favorite or something more exotic. We work with dozens of wood species from around the world, including: fir, hemlock, pine, knotty pine, cherry, maple, walnut, oak, mahogany, knotty alder, poplar, birch and white birch.

Whatever the species used in Simpson Custom Doors, it must meet strict grading standards before being accepted. For instance, we use only color matched Cherry that is all heart with no sap. The beauty of cathedral grain patterns are retained for parts over 26" long and 4" wide. Veneered panels are slip matched to further enhance the consistent appearance. Maple is another good example, since we only use hard rock maple that is uniform in color.

No matter what wood species you select, each piece of wood is carefully examined to ensure it will live up to the reputation Simpson has for quality and performance.

Special Sizes & Shapes

Some homes require doors with unusual dimensions. We can construct doors to meet a wide variety of sizes, up to 5' wide and 2-1/4" thick. Arch top doors and other unique shapes are also available.
