Steel vs. Fibreglass Entry Doors: Which Option Fits Your Fort Erie Home?
Homes in Crystal Beach, Ridgeway, and Crescent Park all have different exterior styles and exposure to wind and lake moisture. Choosing the right entry door material can improve comfort, security, and curb appeal while holding up to Fort Erie’s lake-effect weather. Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide what fits your home best.
Steel Entry Doors
- Strong security and impact resistance
- Smooth, modern profiles that suit brick and siding
- A cost-effective upgrade with great performance
- Popular in Bridgeburg and older Fort Erie homes
Fibreglass Entry Doors
- Woodgrain look without the upkeep
- Resists dents, warping, and moisture
- Excellent energy efficiency for drafty openings

Still deciding? We can bring samples, explain the benefits of each material, and help you choose the option that fits your home’s curb appeal, comfort, and budget.

How We Install Dorplex Entry Doors in Fort Erie
A proper door installation starts with the opening, not just the door itself. Our crews use a full-frame replacement method to ensure your new entry, garden, or French door sits correctly, seals tightly, and performs well in the changing weather near the lake.
- Remove the old door, frame, and exterior trims down to the rough opening.
- Inspect the sill and surrounding framing for moisture or hidden damage.
- Position the new Dorplex door frame level and square for smooth operation.
- Secure the frame with durable fasteners and shims where needed.
- Insulate and seal all perimeter gaps to reduce drafts and moisture.
- Install fresh exterior brickmould and trims for a clean, finished look.
- Apply premium exterior caulking and complete final adjustments.
Why Full-Frame Replacement Matters
Reusing an old door frame often leads to drafts, alignment issues, and weakened sills. A full-frame replacement allows us to correct these problems, giving your new system the tightest fit and the best long-term performance.
It’s a bit more work on installation day, but it ensures reliable results in areas like Crystal Beach and Ridgeway where wind and moisture are common.

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
