- Is the lockset included?
- No. The door ships with the frame, hinges, sill and weather-stripping, but the lockset and handleset are sold separately.
- What size opening does a 32 x 80 prehung door need?
- A prehung 32 x 80 unit needs a rough opening about 2 inches wider and 2 inches taller than the door, so roughly 34 x 82 inches. Check the frame dimensions before framing.
- Can this door be painted?
- Yes. It comes primed, so sand lightly and apply an exterior-grade topcoat. Paint all six sides of the slab and frame edges to protect the steel and wood.
- Is the glass safe for an exterior door?
- Yes. The lites are tempered glass, which is required for glass in exterior doors and resists breaking into sharp shards.
- Does it swing left or right?
- This unit is left-hand inswing: the hinges are on the left when viewed from outside, and the door opens inward.
- How does it compare with a wood entry door?
- The steel slab resists dents and weather better than wood and needs less upkeep, but it dents under a hard hit and can rust where paint chips. Wood can be repaired and refinished more easily.
