Discover what makes Cherry Forge’s Mini Grand doors unique. Enjoy Grand Entry Door features without replacing your frame—perfect for fast, stylish upgrades.
At Cherry Forge, we’re known for crafting stunning Grand Entry Doors and Security Doors that combine bold design, durable materials, and high-end functionality. But for homeowners who want the same premium look and features — without replacing their entire door frame — we created the Mini Grand.
What Is a Mini Grand?
A Mini Grand is Cherry Forge’s streamlined version of our full Grand Entry Door. It delivers the same bold aesthetics and premium features, but without the door jamb or frame.
Instead of replacing the entire door unit, a Mini Grand is custom-built to fit into your home’s existing door jamb. We simply remove your old door from the hinge mortises and install our new aluminum Mini Grand door in its place — matching hinge locations, lock bore, and lever holes exactly.
All the Features of a Grand Entryway — at a Better Cost
With a Mini Grand, you don’t sacrifice quality or performance. You still get:
Operable Glass Panel for fresh air and natural light
Insect Screen to keep bugs out while ventilating
Premium Aluminum Construction for durability and rust resistance
Custom Styles and Finishes to match your home’s architecture
Precision Fit for your existing jamb, with aligned hinges and lock hardware
What you don’t pay for? The frame.
By using your home’s existing door jamb, a Mini Grand cuts down on materials and installation labor. That means you get all the beauty and function of a full Grand Entry Door — at a significantly better price.
