If that is a wood door you are not effectively staining that lighter as the amount of sanding to strip the stain will put you right thru the veneer.

Thanks for responding. It’s Therma-Tru fiberglass.

I guess you mean returning it for a new door then, right? you can't "restain" fiberglass, to my understanding. For that matter, you may not be able to return an installed door.

Here's how it looks Photoshopped lighter. Better, but still pretty dark -- when you have an overhang, you usually want some brightness and color, so I'd paint it instead. These aren't great mock-ups because I tried to keep all the shapes, but you get the jist.

Thank you! i appreciate you mocking it up for me. The stain looked lighter on the swatch when I ordered it.

Yes, its way too dark. Your entry looks like a very dark hole. Its a very nice door though. I would paint it a nice bright color, so it welcomes your guests. Its not welcoming right now.

I would go definitely lighter

Why no glass at all in that door? Fiberglass cannot be stained this is the color it is so either a new door or paint what you have . IMO the door needs some windows to look right on that house

" Why no glass at all in that door? "

There is a 2W3H lite cut in the op's doors as pictured.

I'd start by painting the two vertical jambs between the sidelites and the door white to match the casing and give the door a bit more definition.

Nice home! I would suggest to paint the door a bright color. A few years ago we purchased a Therma Tru Fiberglass Smooth Star door. We painted it with Behr’s paint: satin, color: “Baby Spinach” for a nice pop of color. I love the door, it is well made. We took the door off, so we could paint all edges. We did 2 coats with a very light sanding in between. We love Behr paint, it is great quality, and holds up beautifully! I suggest you contact Therma Tru to find out the process of what steps you need to take to restain it lighter, or paint it. Good luck in your journey!

Now that I have close up I see the glass thanks.
