JELD-WEN Steel Left-Hand Inswing Front Door vs American Building Supply 30-in Steel Front Door

Buy the JELD-WEN if you need a standard 36-inch entry door, the common size for a main front entrance. Buy the American Building Supply door if your opening is narrower or you want a 30-inch door with a foam core and reinforced lock block. The JELD-WEN is a plain primed steel slab in a classic style with no glass. The American Building Supply door adds a polyurethane insulating core, a 12-inch solid wood lock block, a hidden steel plate in the frame, weather stripping and a door sweep. Both are primed steel, left-hand inswing, prehung units with a 4-9/16-inch frame.

• Choose the JELD-WEN if you need a full 36-inch-wide front door and want a simple primed steel slab you can paint.
• Choose the American Building Supply if your rough opening is about 32 inches wide or you want an insulated core and reinforced lock area.
