What size rough opening does this door need?

The door is 88 inches wide and 80 inches tall, so the rough opening must be slightly larger to fit the prehung frame. Measure the opening and check the frame dimensions before ordering.

Is this door left-hand or right-hand swing?

It is a left-hand hang, meaning the hinges sit on the left when viewed from the exterior side. Confirm the swing direction matches your entry before installation.

Is a steel exterior door better than wood?

Steel is stronger against forced entry and needs less upkeep than wood, but it can dent and rust where the finish is damaged. Wood offers more design flexibility but requires painting and sealing.

Does the black finish need maintenance?

A factory black finish on steel generally holds up well but should be touched up if chipped to prevent rust. Clean it periodically, especially on sun-facing walls where heat and dust build up.

Is hardware included?

The listing covers the prehung steel door and frame; handles, locks and hinges should be confirmed with the seller. Plan for compatible hardware before the door arrives.
