- Is this door better than a solid wood entry door?
- For most exteriors, yes. The fiberglass skin will not rot, warp or rust the way wood can, and it holds its stained finish with far less upkeep. Wood still wins if you want to sand and refinish the door yourself.
- What does right-hand inswing mean?
- Standing outside facing the door, the hinges are on the right and the door swings inward. Measure your existing opening and hinge side before ordering, because the handing cannot be changed after the frame is built.
- Does it come with the frame and trim?
- Yes. It is prehung in a composite frame and includes brickmould and weatherstripping. Hinges are ball-bearing. The lockset and handle are not part of the door.
- How energy efficient is it?
- The insulating core and weatherstripping reduce heat transfer and drafts compared with a hollow or uninsulated door. The clear glass is the weakest point for insulation, so a storm door or insulated glass helps in cold climates.
- Can I repaint or restain it?
- The door arrives stained. A factory stain is difficult to strip or recolor cleanly, so plan on the finish you order. Light scuffs can be touched up, but a full color change is not a simple job.
- What size opening does it fit?
- It is a 36-in by 80-in door in a frame about 6-9/16 in deep, sized for a standard exterior wall. Confirm your rough opening and wall thickness before ordering.
