The door people judge the house by.
Steel, fiberglass and aluminium entry doors, with sidelites, transoms and the hardware to match. Front, side and garage doors, fitted to the opening you already have.
Steel, fiberglass, and aluminium entry doors.
It has to keep weather out, keep heat in, keep the house secure, and look like the front of somebody’s home. Most doors that disappoint were chosen on the last of those four and specified on none of the others.
Steel is the strongest slab and the best value. Fiberglass will not rust, resists denting, and takes a convincing woodgrain finish, which is why it dominates the premium end. Aluminium suits contemporary frontages and oversized openings. All three arrive from [COMPANY NAME] as a full assembly: slab, frame, sill, weatherstripping and hardware, fitted as one unit rather than hung into whatever is already there.
- Steel, fiberglass and aluminium slabs
- Sidelites, transoms and full entry assemblies
- Front, side and garage entrance doors
- Fire-rated doors where the opening requires one
- Multi-point locking, closers and weatherstripping
The doors come from named manufacturers.
[COMPANY NAME] sources entry doors through Cobra, and window and door systems through Regal and Reynaers. We are an authorized installer for Regal and Reynaers, which is what keeps the manufacturer warranty on the system intact once it has been fitted.
What an Ontario winter does to a front door.
The entry is the hardest-working opening on the house, and it takes weather and daily use at the same time.
The threshold takes the worst of it.
Snow comes in on boots, melts, and sits in the sill with the road salt it carried. It corrodes hardware, breaks down the weatherstrip, and rots the bottom of a door that was never properly sealed at the sill.
One face in the house, one face in the cold.
In winter a door has the heated house on one side and the weather on the other. That difference bows the slab, and a door that latched cleanly in the autumn starts catching by mid-January.
The draft is around the door, not through it.
Most of what people feel at an entry comes through the gap between the frame and the rough opening, or past a weatherstrip that has been compressed flat. It is why replacing the slab alone rarely fixes a cold hallway.
A door is a full assembly: slab, frame, sill, weatherstrip and hardware. Replacing the slab and reusing a frame that is already out of square is the most common way a new door disappoints the person who bought it.
Entry doors, answered.
Steel is the strongest slab and the best value, and it suits a door that sits under an overhang. Fiberglass will not dent or rust and takes a convincing woodgrain finish, which makes it the usual choice for an exposed front entry or anywhere appearance is doing real work.
Sometimes, but it is rarely the right call. If the frame is out of square or the sill has gone, a new slab inherits every problem the old door had. [COMPANY NAME] measures the opening and quotes the assembly that actually fixes it.
Yes. [COMPANY NAME] fits sidelites to one or both sides, a transom above, or both together, configured to your opening. Glass runs from clear through patterned and privacy options, and sidelites can be fixed or operable.
Yes. Side and back entrances, and the doors serving a garage, including the tight-fitting, self-closing door the code calls for between an attached garage and the house.
Security comes from the whole assembly rather than the slab. A reinforced frame, a properly anchored strike plate and multi-point locking do more than the door material does, and all three are specified as part of the door rather than added afterwards.
