Taos Door And Hardware Company was formed in 1989 by Peter Barlow. Peter is an artist in every sense of the word. He excels at taking concepts and sketches and turning them into reality. If you can't find what you're looking for in the showroom, Peter will work with you to come up with the perfect custom design.Peter is good at communicating with people.
He can figure out what you want and put it on paper. He can look at a building and know what works, or interpret an idea from an individual's words and build it to your expectations.
Services
Taos Door & Hardware Company has been located in Taos, New Mexico for over twenty years. Pete's workshop and our showroom are near our home in Ranchos de Taos, a few miles south of Taos Plaza. We are open by appointment. We'll open early or stick around a while longer to show you our doors and hardware at your convenience.
The doors shown on this site are all custom designed and one of a kind. I do not have an accurate price list because every door I make is distinctive and priced individually based on the size, design and current wood prices. Prices listed are general. I work with the customer to develop an original design, and I can also build doors from photographs and sketches.
Taos Door & Hardware Co. special orders Spanish cedar that is plantation grown in Africa. Most of the Spanish cedar available is from the rain forest of South America. We no longer use rain forest growth. We use mostly wood that is grown in the U.S. The northeast has the fastest growing forest because the hill farm land is no longer producing crops.
I use only traditional, time proven construction techniques along with premium kiln dried woods to assemble custom, solid wood doors. The joinery is very important so the door will not sag or come apart over time. The mortise and tenon jointery combines mechanical strength with a large glue surface.
