- What does the prehung system include?
- The door comes built into its frame with the threshold, hinges and weatherstrip fitted. You get a complete unit rather than a bare slab.
- Is fiberglass better than wood or steel for an entry door?
- Fiberglass resists dents, rot and moisture and needs little upkeep, which beats wood in wet climates. Steel is usually cheaper but can dent and rust where the finish breaks.
- How do I know which handing to order?
- Handing is chosen when you order. Stand outside facing the door: if the hinges are on the left, it is left-hand; on the right, right-hand. Order the wrong one and the door swings the wrong way.
- Will it fit my existing opening?
- A prehung door needs the rough opening to match the frame's listed dimensions. Measure the opening's width, height and depth before ordering, since the frame is not adjustable to any size.
- Can I paint or stain it?
- Fiberglass takes paint and stain well and holds the finish far longer than wood. Follow the manufacturer's surface prep before the first coat.
- Does it come with a lock or handle?
- The system covers the door, frame, threshold, hinges and weatherstrip. Door hardware such as locksets and handles is generally bought separately.
