Is a steel door good for a front entry?

Yes. Steel resists water absorption and rust, needs little upkeep and is strong against forced entry. It can dent on hard impact, so it suits homes without heavy foot traffic against the door.

How does it compare with a fiberglass front door?

Steel is stronger and cheaper to maintain, while fiberglass resists dents and insulates better. Choose steel for security and a traditional panel look; choose fiberglass for a dent-proof, higher-insulation entry.

What does left-hand inswing mean?

The hinges sit on the left as you look at the door from outside, and it swings inward. Check your opening's swing before ordering, since the handing is fixed.

What is included with the door?

It comes prehung in its frame with brickmould trim and a double bore for the handle and deadbolt. The handle, lock and threshold are not part of the door itself.

Does it need painting or finishing?

The steel skin is factory finished and rust-resistant, so it does not need the regular sealing a wood door does. Check the frame and trim for any touch-up after installation.

Our take on the JELD-WEN Steel Prehung Exterior Front Door, Left-Hand Inswing

A prehung exterior front door in steel with a classic six-panel face, a brickmould frame and a double-bore prep for handle and deadbolt. Steel resists water absorption and rust, so it holds up to weather with little upkeep, and the prehung frame speeds installation compared with a slab door. It suits homeowners replacing a front entry who want a secure, low-maintenance door in a traditional look. Against fiberglass and wood rivals it is stronger and cheaper to maintain, but it dents more easily and offers less insulation than a filled fiberglass door.
