Their history began in 1962 from a bold remnant of a building-supply salvage in Toledo, pioneering the first wood-look fiberglass door in 1983.
By the ’80s and ’90s, they scaled production with plants in Indiana and Mexico, launching iconic lines like Classic-Craft and Smooth-Star.
Today they boast state-of-the-art facilities including an Innovation Center in Ohio and manufacturing in Butler, Indiana, and Matamoros, Mexico.
They manufacture both fiberglass and steel exterior door systems, plus glass sidelites, transoms, and complete door systems.
Their doors are rigorously tested for durability, insulation, and weather-proofing.
Popular among builders and remodelers, their typical projects include residential entryways and patio doors with decorative glass.
Known for blending high performance and curb appeal, they offer bold wood-grain aesthetics and paint-ready smooth fiberglass.
Their innovation hub launched tools like the DoorWays app and immersive virtual showcases to help customers visualize home upgrades.
