Inset door

An inset door fits inside the frame, like a window in a wall. The front of the door lines up with the front of the frame. You see a thin, even reveal all the way around.

Inset doors take careful work. The door must match the opening within a tiny margin, and wood movement can change the gap with the seasons. That is why many people see it as a premium, furniture-like style.

Inset is usually built on a face frame. The collections on this site, such as Urban, are described by the brand as frameless. Compare the common door types in the door styles guide. A dealer can show you what each collection offers. Ask a dealer which door types each collection offers before you set your heart on one style.
