- Is a 30 in x 80 in door big enough for a front entry?
- 30 in is on the narrow side for a main entry; most front doors are 36 in. It works well for side entries, back doors or older homes with smaller openings. Measure your rough opening before ordering.
- What does left-hand inswing mean?
- Standing outside facing the door, the hinges are on the left and the door swings into the house. Order the wrong hand and the door will not fit your frame.
- Does the fiberglass slab need painting?
- It comes in white and can be left as is, but fiberglass takes exterior paint well if you want another color. Use a quality exterior paint and follow the manufacturer's prep steps.
- What is the frame depth for?
- The 4-9/16 in frame depth suits a standard 2x4 wall with interior and exterior finish. Thicker walls need jamb extensions.
- How does this compare to a steel front door?
- Fiberglass will not dent or rust the way steel can, and it handles damp climates better. Steel is usually stiffer and cheaper, but a dented or rusted steel door is hard to repair.
- Does it come with a lock or handle?
- A prehung door typically ships as the slab, frame and hinges; lockset and handle are usually bought separately. Check the box contents before you plan the install.
