Recently, Lumbermen’s took a group of dealer partners on a tour of GM Wood Products, a manufacturer that specializes in high performing door frame components. The group was impressed by what they saw from GM in terms of the company’s capabilities and offerings for 2024.
GM Wood Products has a state of art facility with proven products that cover all areas of the door millwork industry. They have a precise mill process with multiple custom profiles to meet customer’s needs. Their inventory consists of many different wood species, including rot resistant Alaskan Yellow Cypress as a value-add option. GM employs a patented system that allows their machines to finger-joint the cypress block to a door jamb and offer a rot proof primed jamb.
The tour was able to observe GM’s machining equipment, which runs on a highly automated continuous circuit, creating efficiency and speed to market. High pressure cleaning and sharpening tools ensure the best profiled product, and the company offers many color matching products for jambs and mull posts.
When it comes to products that Lumbermen’s carries from GM Wood Products, here is a list of door jambs and their descriptions. If you have a question about a product, reach out to a Lumbermen’s sales rep for more information:
