Front doors: how to choose an entry door
A front door has to fit the opening, suit the house and work every day. Start with the measurements, then choose the style. Home Surplus lists Port & Bell wrought iron entry doors online, and your store can help you confirm fit before you order.
Step 1: Measure the opening
- Measure the width and height of the existing door and frame, in inches.
- Note whether you have one door or a double door. Doors listed online are double doors, so ask your store about a single door.
- Note the swing and which side the hinges are on.
- Have your installer confirm the frame details against the exact product.
Step 2: Compare styles
Look at the door alongside your siding, trim and porch. Glass changes both the look and the privacy, so compare options such as rain, sandblast, reflective and Aquatex glass on the exact door.
Step 3: Check sizes and timing
| Listed size | Listed versions |
|---|---|
| 64 x 82 inches | Left hand and right hand, varies by door |
| 72 x 82 inches | Right hand only |
| 72 x 96 inches | Left hand and right hand, varies by door |
