- Is a fiberglass front door better than steel or wood?
- Fiberglass resists dents, rust and rot better than steel or wood and is the usual pick for humid or coastal homes. It costs more than a basic steel door but holds up longer outdoors.
- Does the glass reduce security?
- Glass lites are the weakest point of any entry door. Choose tempered or laminated glass and keep a deadbolt and good lighting on the entry.
- What does left-hand hang mean?
- The door is hinged on the left as you look at it from outside and swings inward. Measure your existing opening and swing direction before ordering.
- What size opening does a 36 by 80 inch door need?
- It fits a rough opening about 38 by 82 inches, the standard for a 36-inch entry. Confirm your frame measurements, since older homes can be off.
- What is not included with the door?
- A prehung unit typically includes the slab, frame and hinges; the handle, lockset and sometimes the threshold are sold separately. Check the listing for what ships.
- When is the best time to buy?
- Entry doors tend to be discounted during spring and fall exterior remodeling promotions and around holiday sales. Compare the live store prices shown on this page.
