Stand square to the entry and capture the whole opening: surrounding wall, roofline, steps, columns, and any sidelites or transom. This is what tells us scale and whether a single door, double doors, or a pivot fits the elevation.
Install photo guide
Photos that help choose a Boise iron door.
Most Boise projects start with a phone, not a tape measure. A handful of well-framed photos of the home and entry let the Eagle showroom recommend the right style, finish, and glass before anyone drives out, and they save a round of back-and-forth.

Spec notes
Helpful photo angles.
Send the Boise / Eagle team a straight-on exterior, an interior foyer shot, and a few context photos, plus any plans, inspiration, or style notes. Shooting in even daylight rather than harsh midday Treasure Valley sun keeps finishes and shadows readable. Add close-ups of the sill and patio when the project includes a folding Accordion Patio wall.
Shoot from inside looking out so we can read floors, trim, wall depth, and ceiling height, and judge how much glass and privacy the foyer wants from the street.
Note which way the door faces and photograph it at the time of day the sun hits hardest, plus the patio surface, nearby windows, and view, so we can spec Low-E, smart, or privacy glass against real Boise light.
Photo tips
Show the home, not just the doorway.
Each photo answers a specific question for the showroom. Knowing what each one is for makes it easy to shoot the right three or four and get a confident recommendation back.
- StyleThe elevation, trim, roofline, and materials tell us the door shape, lite pattern, and finish, whether the home is a North End Craftsman or a Foothills contemporary.
- GlassThe sun and privacy photos decide the glass: clear or Low-E to hold a view, smart glass for on-demand privacy, rain or sandblast for light without sightlines.
- Next stepDimensions, swing, and threshold details let us confirm whether an in-stock door or a custom design is the better path, and your timing tells us how to sequence it.
