Fiberglass entry door brands? Also, how to handle sidelight security?
Hello there. We are replacing the entry door of a brick building we are renovating. After some research we decided to go with a smooth fiberglass door with sidelights. My question is: which brands have you lovely folks installed and had good experiences with? The brands we are looking at are Therma Tru, Masonite and Provia. I’d love to hear your experiences positive or negative with any of these brands. The other thing I’m concerned about is security. You can’t get these entry systems without glass in the sidelights. We are on the corner of 4th ave. and just want to make sure it’s not easy for someone to just bust through the sidelight and reach in and unlock the door. The prefab entry systems don’t have an option for wireglass or even smaller, higher sidelights which is frustrating. Is it better to just install it then have a third party come in and install security glass? Is it an easy thing to replace on these fiberglass units? I’m actually leaning toward Masonite because they are the only ones who have an option that has a single small glass panel 8″ x 6″ in their sidelights but I’ve heard mixed things about their doors. Any advice you could give would be much appreciated. Thanks!
