or those of you who don’t know what a Speakeasy door is, think back to an old 1930’s Prohibition gangster movie. The scene where there’s a knock at the door. A small caged wooden window opens. The password? ‘Joe sent me.’ John Tenaglia, whose family started the milling company - John’s Custom Stairs - during that era, no doubt made a few original doors. “Today, history repeats itself,” Tenaglia is happy to report. “The hottest trend this season is the Speakeasy Door.” This vintage look in custom doors appears worn, or “stressed,” Tenaglia says. “It comes with an iron viewer where you might see a peephole in a standard door. They are very popular right now.” A key supplier of custom stairs, railings, doors and locks, the Tenaglia family has been doing business in the heart of the same South Philadelphia neighborhood for more than 80 years. “Long enough to see the Speakeasy Door become the hottest trend, again,” Tenaglia jokes.

The railing is one of your home’s most significant details - an eye-catching vertical feature that joins the lower level to the upper levels of your home. “The railing dominates your room. If you want to change the look and feel of your home, focus attention on the railing,” Tenaglia suggests. You can change your railing’s balusters (spindles) for as little as $500 he says, and give your home a noticeable facelift. Balusters are available in a variety of finishes including iron, metal, wood, steel and aluminum and take less time to install than a custom staircase (up to two weeks).
