Door and entry applications
Door shutters give glass entries and patio doors privacy, light control, and a built-in look while preserving the daily function of the door.
Door shutters require more than a standard window layout. The design must account for handles, knobs, hinges, glass stops, door swing, louver clearance, and how the door is used every day.
Shenandoah door applications include French doors, sidelights, front entry glass, and sliding glass doors. Each is planned around the specific door style so the shutter looks fitted instead of improvised.

Adjustable louvers give glass doors privacy without replacing the door or adding fabric panels.
Door and sidelight applications can use fitted shadowbox-style frames for a clean built-in appearance.

Shenandoah Shutters handcrafts custom shutters for doors in Richmond, VA for homeowners across Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C. Since 1990, our Richmond workshop has measured, cut, hand-sanded, and lacquer-finished custom hardwood shutters for a precise fit in local homes.
Your consultation turns product preferences into practical fit decisions: louver clearance, frame depth, trim relationship, operation, finish, and how the room should feel when the shutters are open or closed.

Panels are planned around paired doors, hardware, hinges, and glass pane layout.

Bypass shutter panels can slide on a track so the active door remains accessible.

Narrow louvered panels bring privacy to entry sidelights while keeping the foyer bright.

Custom framing can help door glass feel finished and coordinated with surrounding trim.
