- Is this door slab or prehung?
- It is a single door slab, 36 inches wide and 80 inches high. You supply or reuse the frame, hinges, lockset and sill.
- Can it be painted?
- Yes. Fiberglass takes exterior paint well; scuff the surface and use a primer made for fiberglass, then a topcoat. The white finish can also be left as is.
- How does fiberglass compare with steel or wood?
- Fiberglass resists dents better than steel and will not rust, and it resists rot and warping better than wood. Steel is stronger against forced entry, and solid wood offers a heavier feel.
- Does it need a particular frame?
- It fits a standard 36-inch entry frame. Check the rough opening and jamb depth before ordering, and confirm the hinge side matches your frame.
- Is it insulated?
- Fiberglass doors usually have a foam core, but insulation values vary by model. Ask the seller for the R-value if energy performance matters for your entry.
- What hardware does it take?
- It uses standard residential entry hardware: a lockset, deadbolt and three hinges. Fiberglass needs reinforced hinge and lock areas, so check that the slab has them.
