Buyer Guidance
Entry door buying guide
How to choose the right front or entry door for your Long Island home.
Quick answer
To choose an entry door, start with material (steel for value and security, fiberglass for a wood look and durability), then consider energy efficiency, glass and sidelights, hardware, and how the style suits your home. A quality installed door improves security, efficiency and curb appeal.
Pick your material
Steel offers the most security for the money; fiberglass resists dents, mimics real wood, and holds its finish against sun and salt. Both are insulated and far more efficient than an old hollow door.
Style, glass and hardware
Decide on decorative glass and sidelights for light and curb appeal, choose a hardware finish, and pick a style that complements your home. A storm door can add weather protection and ventilation.
