Prehung Mahogany 6 Lite Entry Door with Sidelites vs Pease Mahogany Craftsman 8 Lite Entry Door

Both are solid mahogany prehung entry doors with true divided lite, tempered, insulated glass, so the choice comes down to layout and finish. The 7231-1-2SL131 is a single door with two 14-inch sidelites, which fills a wide opening with light and gives a grander entry; the Craftsman 8 Lite is a narrower single-door system with no sidelites and ships prefinished and assembled. Owners of both praise the heavy, solid feel, the beveled glass and the joinery. Pick the sidelite unit for a wide front wall that needs light; pick the Craftsman for a standard single-door opening and a faster install.

• Choose the 7231-1-2SL131 if your entry wall is wide enough for a door plus two sidelites and you want maximum daylight and curb presence.
• Choose the Craftsman 8 Lite if you have a standard single-door rough opening and want a prefinished, assembled unit that drops straight in.
