How Early Should You Order Doors and Millwork for a New Build in Idaho?

When planning a new construction project, timing is everything. One of the most common mistakes builders and homeowners in Idaho make is waiting too long to order doors, hardware, and millwork.

At Patriot Door and Millwork, we work with projects across Twin Falls, Boise, Idaho Falls, and Pocatello, and proper planning is one of the biggest factors in keeping projects on schedule.

Why Early Ordering Matters

Doors and millwork are not always “in stock” items—especially when custom options are involved. Lead times can vary depending on materials, finishes, and supplier availability.

Delaying your order can result in:

• Project slowdowns
• Installation delays
• Limited product selection

What Should Be Ordered First?

As soon as your plans and specifications are finalized, you should begin ordering:

• Entry and interior doors
• Door hardware and locks
• Trim, moulding, and millwork
• Specialty or custom items

Ideal Timeline

A good rule of thumb:

Order doors and millwork early in the framing stage

This ensures everything is ready when your project reaches installation phase.
