Whether you’re building a new home, remodeling an existing home or simply replacing an entrance door, many homeowners think the only place they or their builder can go for a door is a big box store. After all, there is a stock of pre-made standard doors ready to be purchased at each store. These standard doors however, are not built for durability, energy efficiency, or security. Additionally these standard doors are only offered in a select size so what happens when it doesn’t fit your custom opening? Not all homes are the same and cannot use cookie cutter doors. Each door replacement should be treated as a unique piece for each home.

This is exactly what happened to our client in Gilbertsville PA. They originally purchased a door that didn’t fit so they need a custom front entry door built for their home. They also were looking for something that was more of a quality product for their home’s entrance. Furthermore they explained that their door felt drafty over the winter and that they wanted a more energy efficient door.

Our recommendation for a steel door

We showed them our collection of fiberglass and steel front door styles from our door manufacturer HMI that . They explained they were looking for the most durable and energy efficient option so we recommended them the HMI steel doors. Steel doors are the most durable and long lasting option for homeowners in our 30 years of experience. Steel doors can last up to 70 years and even a lifetime! They loved the look and the durability of the steel doors but they questioned if they were energy efficient. We confirmed and reassured them that all HMI doors are built for energy efficiency. We explained that both of HMI’s fiberglass doors and steel doors are fully injected with foam insulation, include exclusive weathertight weather stripping, and are thermally broken from the inside out. They were impressed and we even showed them samples of the doors to explain how it works.

Customizable french door accessories

They gazed over our steel door selection and after seeing the double door options they fell in love with the front entry French door collection. We then expressed the different customizations available and they elected to customize the exterior door color in a matte black, a white for the interior clad, and black for the hardware and lock systems. Lastly even mentioned that our doors are very secure and almost impossible to break into. This is because our HMI doors utilize a multi-point locking system where they lock from the top and bottom of the door. This system is certain to increase home security and keep protected from burglars or intruders. They were sold! Our HMI doors had met and exceeded their expectations.

Front french door installation

We then had a measure technician measure up their door and processed the custom order to be manufactured. Promptly after receiving the order we then professionally installed the door in only 1 day. This installation also included capping the doors with new trim. Our door installers also make sure to clean up after each install and take care of your home.
