Choosing Between Steel and Fibreglass Entry Doors
Different homes call for different entry door materials. Whether you’re updating an older front entrance or finishing a newer build, the right choice comes down to security, energy performance, and how the door complements your home’s exterior style. Below is a simple breakdown to help you compare steel and fibreglass entry door options.
Steel Entry Doors
- Strong resistance to impact and forced entry
- Clean, smooth panels with sharp architectural lines
- Cost-effective while still offering excellent durability
- A great fit for both traditional and modern home designs
Fibreglass Entry Doors
- Realistic woodgrain appearance without ongoing maintenance
- Resists dents, moisture, and warping over time
- Excellent insulation values for year-round comfort
- Performs well through seasonal temperature changes

Adding Light, Privacy, and Character with Decorative Door Glass
Decorative glass plays a big role in how an entry door looks and functions. The right design can bring in natural light, improve privacy, and elevate curb appeal without overwhelming the exterior. Our Dorplex steel and fibreglass entry doors are available with a wide range of glass options that suit both contemporary designs and more traditional home styles.
- Frosted or satin glass that softens daylight while maintaining privacy
- Wrought-iron decorative inserts for added depth and visual interest
- Clear glass with internal grills for a timeless, balanced appearance
- Built-in mini-blinds ideal for garden and French door applications
- Textured privacy glass well suited for sidelights and transom windows
Whether you prefer a bold statement piece or a subtle, understated design, we’ll help you select decorative glass that complements your home’s architecture, lighting conditions, and overall style.
The Details That Complete a Well-Built Entry Door
The finishing details you choose have a big impact on how your new entry door looks, functions, and holds up over time. From hardware to trim, we focus on quality components that complement your home’s style while supporting smooth operation and long-term durability.
- ✓ Heavy-duty hinges designed for consistent alignment and smooth operation
- ✓ Decorative glass enhancements available in frosted, clear, and privacy-focused designs

Our Full-Frame Approach to Entry Door Installation
A proper entry door installation starts with the opening, not just the door itself. Our team uses a full-frame replacement method to ensure your new entry, garden, or French door is aligned correctly, sealed thoroughly, and built to perform reliably through seasonal temperature changes.
- Remove the existing door, frame, and exterior trim down to the rough opening.
- Inspect the sill and surrounding framing for moisture damage or structural issues.
- Set the new Dorplex door frame level and square for smooth operation.
- Secure the frame using shims and fasteners placed at critical load points.
- Seal the perimeter with low-expansion foam to reduce drafts and air movement.
- Install new exterior brickmould and trim for a clean, finished appearance.
- Apply high-quality exterior caulking and complete final hardware adjustments.
Why Full-Frame Replacement Delivers Better Results
Installing a new door into an older frame often leads to alignment issues, air leakage, and premature wear. A full-frame replacement allows us to correct underlying problems and create a solid foundation for your new Dorplex door system.
The result is a tighter seal, smoother operation, and dependable performance year after year.
Designed for Local Conditions and the Way Homes Are Built
Homes in this area experience a mix of strong seasonal winds, temperature swings, and exposure that can quickly reveal weaknesses around an entry door. Without proper installation, gaps, drafts, and moisture intrusion are common — especially in houses built decades ago with original wood framing.
Many older properties were constructed with frames that have shifted over time, making a simple door swap ineffective. That’s why our installations focus on full-frame replacement, allowing us to remove the existing frame, correct alignment issues, and seal the opening properly using low-expansion foam and factory weatherstripping.
Whether the home is a traditional brick build or a newer residential layout, every Dorplex steel or fibreglass entry door we install is matched to the structure, exposure, and usage of the entryway. The result is a quieter interior, improved comfort, and a secure front entrance built to perform year after year.
A Clear, Respectful Installation Day from Start to Finish
When you schedule an entry door replacement with Great Northern Home Exteriors, our team focuses on keeping the process organized, clean, and stress-free. We arrive on time, review the installation plan with you, and take steps to protect floors, walls, and the surrounding work area before any removal begins.
- ✓ Careful removal of the existing door, frame, and exterior trim
- ✓ Inspection of the opening, sill, and surrounding structure for moisture or damage
- ✓ Accurate installation of the new Dorplex entry door system so it sits level and operates smoothly
- ✓ Sealing around the frame with low-expansion foam to help minimize drafts and air movement
- ✓ Installation of new exterior brickmould and interior casing for a clean, finished appearance
- ✓ Final hardware setup, weatherstripping check, and operation testing, followed by full cleanup
Before we leave, we’ll walk you through your new front, garden, or French door, answer any remaining questions, and make sure everything opens, closes, and locks properly so you feel confident in the finished installation.

Common Questions About Entry Door Installation
How long does an entry door installation usually take?
Most entry door installations are completed in a single day. Our crew removes the existing unit, installs your new Dorplex door system, seals the opening with low-expansion foam, completes exterior trim work, and performs a full cleanup before leaving.
Do you install garden doors and French doors?
Yes. We install steel and fibreglass entry doors, including garden doors and French doors, sized specifically for your opening. Each door is installed using a wood frame, factory weatherstripping, and low-expansion foam to ensure a tight, reliable seal.
Can the door colour and trim be matched to my home?
Absolutely. We offer a range of factory-applied colours, realistic woodgrain finishes, and custom exterior capping so your new entry door blends cleanly with your home’s brick, siding, and exterior details.
Will replacing my entry door help with drafts and comfort?
Yes. Modern entry doors feature insulated cores, high-quality weatherstripping, and are installed using a proper full-frame replacement method. This helps reduce drafts and improve comfort, especially in homes with older or shifting door frames.
