Custom Doors & Furniture Made from Reclaimed Materials
La Puerta Originals is a family-owned and operated company based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, specializing in custom doors, gates, and architectural elements crafted from reclaimed materials. Founded over 25 years ago by Scott Coleman, our business began as a passion for preserving Old World architecture and has grown into the nations largest collection of salvaged architectural antiques. Our team of skilled craftsmen works in an 18,500-square-foot facility to create one-of-a-kind pieces, including solid wood doors, kitchen cabinetry, furniture, and ironwork. We collaborate with architects and custom home builders to deliver timeless designs that emphasize sustainability by repurposing materials that would otherwise be discarded. Our process begins with a personalized consultation and a visit to our extensive yard of architectural antiques, ensuring each project reflects the clients unique vision.
