Mahogany 4-Lite Prehung Exterior Door vs Therma-Tru Grid Entry 68-in 80-in x 6-9/16-in Fiberglass 3/4 Lite Right-hand Inswing Black Painted Prehung Front Door with Sidelights

The Therma-Tru is the safer pick for most front entries: fiberglass with an insulating core resists dents, rot and rust, and it comes painted black with weatherstripping and brickmould included. The mahogany door wins on looks and light: real okoume mahogany, a solid core and six glass lites in two rows of three give a classic entry that fiberglass panels cannot match. Owners of fiberglass doors report they hold their finish and shrug off weather, while wood doors need staining and periodic refinishing to stay tight and sealed.

• Choose the mahogany 4-lite door if you want a real wood entry with six glass lites and are willing to finish and maintain it.
• Choose the Therma-Tru fiberglass door if you want a low-maintenance, pre-painted entry with an insulating core and sidelights.
