Exterior Door

Yes. A door-only replacement may be possible if the existing frame is sound and compatible with the new door. Have your installer check dimensions, door thickness, hinge positions, and lock preparation before you order.

Start by determining whether you are replacing only the door panel or the frame as well. For a door-only replacement, record the existing panel’s width, height, and thickness. For a frame replacement, follow the selected product’s rough-opening requirements. Confirm all measurements against the product’s installation guidance.

You can choose the door on its own or add available frame and handle options. Contents depend on the configuration selected. Review the product page and your order options rather than assuming accessories shown in photos are included.

Not necessarily. A prehung door arrives mounted in its frame, while a separately supplied frame may require assembly and fitting. Check the selected product’s delivery and assembly details before planning installation.

We recommend applying exterior-grade waterproof paint before outdoor use. Follow the paint manufacturer’s preparation and drying instructions and the door’s finishing guidance. Keep the finish maintained according to those instructions.

The Tenoner door is designed to open inwards from either the left or the right, but the specific installation method depends on your requirements. Confirm whether the door needs to open inward or outward and which side should carry the hinges. Use the selected product’s diagram and viewing direction to identify the correct option. If you are unsure, ask your installer to confirm before ordering.

Compare the delivery with your order, including the door size, glass style, and selected accessories. Inspect the door, glass, and frame for visible damage before painting or installation. Keep the packaging and photograph any issues so you can contact support with clear details.

If your existing frame is in good condition, a door-only option may suit your project. Before ordering, confirm that the new door matches the frame, hinge locations, and lock preparation. Our exterior doors are 1.73 inches thick, so check thickness as well as width and height.

If you also need a frame or handles, select the available additions on the product page. Check whether the frame requires assembly and which installation components are included. Adding a frame does not necessarily mean the door arrives prehung.

Next step: Open your preferred product and compare its dimensions and configuration options with your installation needs.

Need More Daylight Without Giving Up Privacy?

An exterior door with glass panels can brighten an entrance, but consider the view from outside before choosing the glass.

Clear glass works well when you want a view of the yard or approach. Frosted glass reduces direct visibility while letting light through, although silhouettes may still be visible when the interior is illuminated. The size and position of the glass matter, too—particularly if the door faces a street or neighboring home.

Compare glass styles and panel layouts in the product photos before choosing.

Updating Your Front Entrance?

When comparing exterior front doors, think about daily use alongside appearance. Check that the door can open comfortably without hitting a wall, furniture, or items on the porch. Consider how much of your interior will be visible when the door is closed.

For modern exterior doors, start with simple panel layouts and glass proportions that complement your windows. Then coordinate the frame, handle, and painted finish so the entrance works as a whole.

Shortlist a design, then confirm the size and hardware options before ordering.

Shopping for Exterior French Doors?

If you are considering exterior French doors for a wider entrance, confirm the opening mechanism as carefully as the overall dimensions. Check whether the selected product is a paired hinged-door design, how each panel opens, and how much clearance it needs.

A double-door option is not automatically a French door. Split Dutch doors operate differently, so use the product description and opening diagrams to confirm that the design suits your plans.

Consider how sheltered your entrance is before choosing a finish. A covered porch and an uncovered doorway expose a door to different conditions.

For pine wood doors, we recommend applying exterior-grade waterproof paint before outdoor use. Follow the coating manufacturer’s instructions for surface preparation, coverage, and drying, along with the door’s finishing guidance.

A protective finish does not establish suitability for every location. If your entrance receives frequent rain or strong direct sunlight, confirm the selected model’s exposure and maintenance requirements before ordering.

When replacing a drafty door, look beyond the door panel. Have your installer assess the frame, threshold, and weatherstripping, as well as how the new door will fit and close.

Solid-core construction describes the door’s build; it does not, by itself, establish an energy-performance rating. If thermal performance is a priority, ask for the selected model’s available specifications before buying.

Before adding your door to the cart, confirm these details:

Size: Compare the product’s actual dimensions and required opening measurements. Do not treat the existing door size and rough opening as interchangeable.

Material: Check the selected model. Solid core describes construction; pine wood identifies a material.

Configuration: Confirm whether you have selected the door only or added a frame and handles.

Hardware: Review whether hinges, locks, threshold, and weatherstripping are included or need to be sourced separately.

Opening direction: Use the product’s handing instructions or a diagram with a stated viewing direction.

Preparation: Allow for painting and drying if you choose pine wood.

Before scheduling installation, review the shipping policy and refund policy, including the conditions that apply to your selected order.
