- Is this door energy efficient?
- It uses Low-E glass, which reflects heat and UV compared with clear glass. The steel frame is primed, not insulated like a fiberglass or clad unit, so check the door's U-factor label for the exact rating.
- What does left-hand outswing mean?
- Standing inside looking out, the active panel hinges on the left and swings away from you. Confirm your opening's handing before ordering, since it cannot be reversed.
- What size rough opening does it need?
- The door is 60 by 80 inches with a 4-9/16-inch jamb. Frame the rough opening a bit larger than the unit per JELD-WEN's installation guide, typically about 1/2 inch over on each side and the top.
- Does it come prefinished?
- No. The steel is primed white and needs a topcoat of exterior paint. Paint all six sides of the frame and panels before installation for the best warranty coverage.
- How does it compare with a fiberglass French door?
- Fiberglass resists dents and often comes with a factory finish, but it usually costs more. This steel door is stiffer and easier to paint to match trim, at the price of dent repair and repainting over its life.
- What is in the box?
- You get the two door panels in the prehung frame with the jamb, Low-E glass and grilles between the panes. Hardware, lockset and exterior trim are typically sold separately, so confirm the listing before ordering.
