ENTRY DOORS (GENERAL) FAQS

Entry doors are commonly made from fiberglass, steel, or wood. At Lush Windows & Doors, we specialize in fiberglass and steel doors for their durability, energy-efficiency, and low-maintenance requirements.

It depends on your priorities:

• Fiberglass: Best all-around option for insulation, longevity, and style variety.
• Steel: Excellent for security and cost-effectiveness.
• Wood: Classic look, but requires more maintenance and is less energy-efficient.

Most of people choose fiberglass for its balance of beauty, strength, and efficiency. Fiberglass doors have woodgrain options that look and feels like wood.

Yes! Many of our entry doors are available in factory-painted or stained finishes, saving you time and providing a long-lasting finish. Custom color options are also available to match your home’s style.

Entry doors are very secure—especially when properly installed. We offer reinforced fiberglass and steel doors with solid cores, multi-point locking systems, and optional security upgrades to provide a peace of mind.

Yes. We use tempered or laminated safety glass designed to resist breakage. Optional triple-pane and decorative glass inserts also improve energy-efficiency and security without sacrificing the style.

A steel door paired with a reinforced frame and multi-point locking system is typically the most secure. However, a high-quality fiberglass door equipped with the same locking hardware, also offers excellent protection as well, with added energy-efficiency.

You may need a new door if you notice:

• Drafts or leaks
• Warping or rotting
• Difficulty opening or closing
• Visible damage or decay
• Rising energy bills

If your door no longer provides proper insulation or security, replacement is usually the better investment.

Our professional team removes the old door, prepares the opening, installs the new door and frame, adds weather stripping and insulation, and ensures a tight seal. We complete the job with trim installation and thorough clean-up. 

The most common size is 32 and 36” wide by 80” tall, but we also install doors in custom sizes to fit unique openings, sidelights, or double-door setups. We’ll take exact measurements during your consultation.

We offer lifetime limited warranties on door materials and lifetime labor warranty on installation. Check out our warranties.

Costs vary depending on material, size, glass inserts, and hardware. We provide free quotes to help you plan your budget.
