- Is this door insulated?
- Yes. It has an insulating core inside a steel slab, which slows heat transfer and dulls outside noise compared with a hollow door.
- What does right-hand inswing mean?
- The hinges are on the right as you look at the door from outside, and it swings into the house. Measure your opening and swing direction before ordering.
- Does it come painted?
- No. It arrives primed white. Paint all six sides, especially the top and bottom edges, to protect the steel and keep the warranty valid.
- What size rough opening does it need?
- The door is 36 in wide and 80 in tall in a 4-9/16-in frame. Plan a rough opening about 2 in wider and 1/2 in taller than the unit, and confirm with the installation guide.
- Can I add a deadbolt?
- Yes, but the door is prepped only for the lockset it ships with. Check the prep before buying hardware, and reinforce the strike side if you add a deadbolt.
- How does it compare with a fiberglass entry door?
- Steel resists dents and costs less than fiberglass, but fiberglass does not rust and holds paint better in coastal or very wet climates. Steel suits most covered entries; fiberglass is the safer pick where the slab takes direct salt spray or constant rain.
