Mahogany 4-Lite Prehung Exterior Door vs Prehung Mahogany 6 Lite Entry Door with Sidelites

Buy the 7231 sidelite unit if you want a finished-looking entryway with matching glass on both sides and a lower panel that hides scuffs. Buy the Classic 4 Lite if you have a standard single opening and want a simpler, lighter door that is easier to hang and finish yourself. Both are solid-core 1-3/4 inch okoume mahogany doors with insulated tempered glass and 4-9/16 inch jambs, so build quality is close. The 7231 adds two 14 inch sidelites, a raised bottom panel and optional factory finishing; the Classic is a bare prehung slab with clear or Flemish glass and no sidelites.

• Choose the Classic 4 Lite if your opening fits a single 36 inch door and you want a straightforward prehung unit you can stain or paint to match.
• Choose the 7231 if you want a wider entry with matching sidelites, a raised lower panel and the option of arriving factory finished.
