The Nantucket™ Collection by Simpson offers not only a natural beauty but resilience difficult to find in other doors. The combination of a durable wood species and mortise-and-tenon construction produces a superior door that will last for years.

This outstanding collection of doors offers:


  • 10-year Limited Warranty – an INDUSTRY-LEADING warranty for exterior wood doors
  • Superior performing wood species – choose from Black Locust or Nootka Cypress
  • Mortise-and-tenon joinery with face-driven pins to eliminate stile and rail separation
  • Two-piece laminated stile and rail construction – no veneers

There are two species of Nantucket doors to choose from, Black Locust and Nootka Cypress:

Black Locust

One of the heaviest and hardest woods in North America, Black Locust is highly rot-resistant, even in extreme conditions. Traditionally, it’s been used for fence posts, railroad ties and the toughest exterior applications. Its dense properties make it the ideal resource for the Nantucket™ Collection and its dramatic grain pattern creates a beautiful first impression.

Nootka Cypress

Also known as Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Nootka Cypress is a durable wood with excellent dimensional stability. Native to the West Coast of North America, Nootka Cypress offers a fine texture, uniform color and a straight grain that results in a beautiful finish, either stained or painted. It has traditionally been used for shingle siding and other exterior applications.

The Nantucket doors offer you a true alternative for areas with harsher weather while still allowing the beauty of your home to shine through.  For peace of mind, performance and beauty, choose the Nantucket Collection.
