Wood Edge Steel 6 Panel Entry Door vs Steel Edge 2 Panel Entry Door

Buy the Wood Edge 6 Panel for a standard 36-inch front entry in a wood frame, where its full wood-edge perimeter gives screws and hinges solid material to bite into. Buy the Steel Edge 2 Panel for metal jamb, rental and multi-family doors, where threaded hinge mounts and a steel perimeter suit adjustable hinges and hard use. Both use 24-gauge galvanized steel skins, ship primed and have no glass. Owners of the Wood Edge rate it 4.4 from 240 ratings and praise fit and packing, but some report prep that needed chiseling and a glass cut-out that ran large.

• Choose the Wood Edge Steel 6 Panel if you have a wood frame, want the classic six-panel look, and need a 36-inch left-hand inswing door that takes a half-lite insert.
• Choose the Steel Edge 2 Panel if you have a metal jamb or manage rentals, want threaded hinge mounts for adjustable hinges, and prefer a clean two-panel face.
