Reliabilt Steel Prehung Front Door vs Lily Ann Classic Prehung Fiberglass Door
Buy the Reliabilt if you want a steel door with a known warranty and a solid lock block for a standard right-hand inswing opening. Buy the Lily Ann if you want a fiberglass door with a mahogany-look finish and a factory prehung frame that resists dents, rot and warping. Both are 36 x 80 prehung exterior doors, so the real choice is steel versus fiberglass and primed versus finished. Owners of steel doors report dents from impacts; fiberglass owners report better dent and rot resistance but a higher step-up in construction.
- Choose the Reliabilt if you want a primed steel door with a limited lifetime warranty and a 12-in solid wood lock block for a right-hand inswing entry.
- Choose the Lily Ann if you want a fiberglass door with a mahogany finish that will not dent, rot or warp and comes prehung with weather stripping.
