Steel vs. Fibreglass Entry Doors: Which Option Fits Your Home?
Every home has different exterior conditions, exposure to wind, and maintenance needs. Choosing the right entry door material can improve comfort, security, and curb appeal while handling Niagara’s lake-effect weather. Here’s a simple comparison to help you decide what suits your home best.
Steel Entry Doors
- Strong security and impact resistance
- Smooth, modern profiles suitable for many architectural styles
- A cost-effective upgrade with excellent durability
- Great for homeowners wanting a clean, modern look
Fibreglass Entry Doors
- Woodgrain appearance without maintenance
- Resists dents, warping, and moisture
- Excellent energy efficiency for draft-prone openings
- Ideal for homeowners wanting a warmer, natural style
Still deciding? We can bring samples, compare materials, and help you choose the door that fits your home’s curb appeal, comfort, and budget.
Decorative Glass Options for Your Entry Door
The right decorative glass can brighten your entryway while maintaining privacy. Our Dorplex steel and fibreglass entry doors offer a wide selection of designs that suit both modern and heritage-style homes, adding character and natural light without compromising security or efficiency.

How We Install Dorplex Entry Doors
A proper door installation starts with the opening, not just the door itself. Our crews use a full-frame replacement method so your new entry, garden, or French door sits correctly, seals tightly, and handles changing weather without drafts or sticking.
- Remove the old door, frame, and exterior trims down to the rough opening.
- Inspect the sill and surrounding framing for moisture, rot, or hidden damage.
- Position the new Dorplex door frame level and square for smooth operation.
- Secure the wood frame with durable fasteners and shims where needed.
- Fill all perimeter gaps with low-expansion foam and proper air-and-moisture sealing.
- Install fresh exterior brickmould and trims for a clean, finished look.
- Apply premium exterior caulking and complete final adjustments to the door and hardware.
Why Full-Frame Replacement Matters
Reusing an old door frame can leave you with drafts, poor alignment, and a weakened sill. A full-frame replacement lets us correct those issues, support the new unit properly, and give it the tightest fit possible.
It’s a bit more work on installation day, but it delivers better long-term performance, comfort, and peace of mind.
What to Expect on Entry Door Installation Day
When you schedule an entry door replacement with Great Northern Home Exteriors, our team treats your home with care from the moment we arrive. We show up on time, review the installation plan with you, and protect floors, walls, and the surrounding doorway before any work begins.
- ✓ Careful removal of your existing door, frame, and exterior trim
- ✓ Inspection of the opening, sill, and subfloor area for moisture or hidden damage
- ✓ Precise installation of your new Dorplex entry system so it sits level, square, and plumb

- ✓ Final hardware, weatherstripping, and operation check, followed by a full cleanup
Before we leave, we’ll walk you through your new front, garden, or French door, answer any questions, and make sure everything opens, closes, and locks smoothly — giving you confidence in the installation.

Fort Erie Entry Door Replacement FAQ
How long does a typical entry door installation take?
Most entry door installations are completed within a single day. Our team removes the old unit, installs your new full-frame Dorplex system, applies low-expansion foam, and finishes the exterior trim before we leave.
Do you install garden doors and French doors?
Yes — we install steel, fibreglass, garden doors, and French doors, all custom-built to fit your opening. Each unit includes factory-applied weatherstripping and a properly sealed full-frame installation.
Can you match the trim and colour to my home?
Absolutely. We offer factory paint finishes, woodgrain textures, and custom exterior capping so your new door blends naturally with your home’s siding, brick, or windows.
Will a new entry door help reduce drafts?
Yes — modern doors use insulated cores, high-quality weatherstripping, and a tight full-frame replacement. This reduces drafts significantly in older homes when the opening is sealed properly.
