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 vs Fiberglass Front Entry Door with Side Lites
Buy the Therma-Tru if you want a wider, better-insulated entry with a thicker impact-rated frame and a real lock prep; buy the Northside door if you want a simpler primed unit with sidelights that you plan to paint yourself. The Therma-Tru has the stronger spec sheet: 6-9/16-inch aluminum impact frame, insulating core, weatherstripping and brickmould included, and an ASSA 2002 lock case. The Northside door is a thinner 4-9/16-inch frame with triple-pane decorative glass and a primed finger-jointed surface. Neither has a deep pool of owner reviews, so judge them on build and fit for your opening.
- Choose the Therma-Tru Grid Entry if your rough opening suits a 68-inch-wide unit and you want a thicker impact frame, insulating core and factory lock prep.
- Choose the Northside fiberglass entry door if you want a narrower 60-inch unit with 10-inch sidelights, triple-pane glass and a primed surface you will paint.
