Jeld-Wen Doors from Home Depot?

Interested in experiences with/thoughts on Jeld-Wen doors from Home Depot.  I’m considering their hemlock door with glass panes for backdoor.  Other brands should look at? Thanks.

I installed a Jeld-wen very similar to what you describe on a house eight yrs ago and it is fine – no splits or cracks.  now mind you, this door is behind a storm door.  I do believe the hemlock is a lower end door of theirs and I am not sure if the one I installed was hemlock; I am not sure they even had a hemlock door in their line at that time. Another brand you may wish to consider is Simpson.  Dykes carries simpson and I think they are pretty good doors.  Price is going to be substantially more than the Jeld-wen product. Steve
