Built for Daily Use, Designed for Long-Term Comfort

Every home has its own needs, especially in quieter rural areas where wind exposure, temperature shifts, and daily use all play a role. When deciding between steel and fibreglass entry doors, it helps to understand how each option performs over time and how it fits your home’s layout.

Why Many Homeowners Choose Steel

  • Solid construction that stands up to everyday use
  • Sleek, clean appearance that suits both modern and traditional homes
  • Cost-effective performance without sacrificing security
  • Reliable option for frequently used entryways

Why Fibreglass Is a Popular Upgrade

  • Natural woodgrain appearance without ongoing upkeep
  • Resists dents, moisture, and daily wear
  • Strong thermal performance for year-round comfort
  • Handles temperature swings with ease

If you’re unsure which option fits your home best, we’ll walk through real samples, explain performance differences, and help you choose a solution that feels right for your space and lifestyle.

Glass Options That Add Light Without Giving Up Privacy

The right glass design can completely change how your entryway feels — bringing in natural light while still maintaining comfort and privacy. Our Dorplex steel and fibreglass entry doors offer a wide range of decorative glass options that work beautifully in both open rural settings and more private homes.

  • Frosted and satin finishes that soften light while maintaining privacy
  • Decorative wrought-style glass for added depth and visual interest
  • Clear glass with internal grills for a clean, balanced look
  • Integrated mini-blinds ideal for garden doors and multi-panel layouts
  • Textured privacy glass that works well in sidelites and transoms

Whether you’re looking for subtle elegance or a more distinctive entrance, we’ll help you choose a glass style that complements your home and fits comfortably into your day-to-day living.

How We Install Entry Doors the Right Way

A long-lasting door installation starts with proper preparation — not shortcuts. Our team uses a full-frame installation process to ensure your new entry, garden, or French door fits securely and performs reliably in changing outdoor conditions.

  1. Carefully remove the existing door, frame, and surrounding trim.
  2. Inspect the rough opening for signs of moisture wear or shifting.
  3. Install the new Dorplex wood frame square, level, and properly supported.
  4. Secure the frame using appropriate fasteners and shimming techniques.
  5. Apply low-expansion foam and weather sealing to prevent air movement.
  6. Finish with new exterior brickmould and trim for a clean appearance.
  7. Complete final adjustments to ensure smooth operation and proper closure.

Why Full-Frame Installation Makes a Difference

Installing over an old frame can hide issues that affect performance over time. A full-frame approach allows us to correct alignment, improve sealing, and create a more stable foundation for your new door.

This method takes more care on install day, but it delivers better comfort, durability, and reliability — especially in homes exposed to seasonal temperature shifts.

What Installation Day Looks Like

When your installation day arrives, our goal is to make the process smooth, respectful, and stress-free. From the moment we arrive, our team takes care to protect your home, review the plan with you, and carry out the work with attention to detail from start to finish.

  • Careful removal of the existing door system, including trim and framing components
  • Inspection of the opening, sill, and surrounding structure for stability and moisture protection
  • Precise installation of the new Dorplex door system, set level and square
  • Sealing the perimeter using low-expansion foam and integrated weather protection
  • Installation of new brickmould and interior trim for a finished appearance
  • Final checks of hardware, alignment, and smooth operation before cleanup
