Getting to Know the Style
About Entry Doors
An exterior entry door is a frequently used part of your home and a prominent design feature. The door slab, frame, threshold, seals and hardware work together, so selecting a door involves more than choosing a colour or panel style.
Finding the Right Fit
Where they work well
Think about the main entrance or another exterior access point, the direction of the swing and the exposure to weather. Consider who uses the entrance, how much privacy you want and whether glass panels or sidelights fit the space.

What to consider
The right choice depends on your home, the opening and how you use the space.
Glass and hardware
Glass inserts, handles and locks influence appearance and everyday use.
Fit
The frame, threshold and surrounding opening should be assessed before installation.
Make It Your Own
Design and product choices
Consider these details as you compare options for your home.
Door material and finish
Compare available materials and finishes for appearance, maintenance and exposure to weather.
Glass and privacy
Glass inserts and sidelights can add daylight; choose the amount of visibility that suits your entrance.
Hardware and access
Consider handles, locks, swing direction and the threshold alongside the way your household uses the door.
Planning Your Project
Assessment and installation
We measure the door and frame, inspect the threshold and surrounding opening and discuss the selected door and hardware. The scope may include removing the existing assembly, fitting the new unit and finishing the surrounding trim, depending on the project.
Looking After Your Doors
Care and maintenance
Clean the finish as directed by the manufacturer, check weatherstripping and keep the threshold clear. If the door drags, leaks or is difficult to lock, have the cause assessed rather than forcing it.
