We love transformations and this front entry door system is an excellent example! The new entry door is the full oval Heirloom series glass in a textured, hand-stained finish. The door is still steel, but has textured grains running the same way as in a natural wood door. The storm door is an aluminum, full view storm door. Like the entry door, it is textured and hand stained to match. We finished the opening with capping and the matching decorative handle sets really give the doors an elegant look. What I really like is how the rich Mahogany stands out against the light stone of the home and really ties in the red brick running along the bottom, not to mention the woodgrain texture of the door looks gorgeous with the home's natural stone! The beauty of wood with the strength and longevity of steel!

Here we removed our customer's aluminum door and replaced it with our steel security storm door adding beauty, security and energy efficiency to our customer's home. Defender Steel Door Co. specializes in custom shaped and custom sized doors. Call today for more information!

You can really see how this helps seal the opening and give the home a more finished look.

Talk about a transformation! Here we removed the customer's old double door unit and replaced it with a new steel double door unit made in our new Mystic Harbor wood grain finish. Both doors feature decorative glass and satin nickel hardware. The door on the right also includes a peepsite set high enough for the customer. We also capped the entire entrance for a maintenance free complete look.

How do you transform your front entry? This door and two sidelite installation replaced a smooth steel entry door and two sidelites with a textured woodgrain steel entry door in a mahogany stain finish. The before and after photos are quite striking! Some key details... ✅ The new jamb is clad in brown to match the woodgrain stain ✅ The old threshold was a mill finish which was replaced with a bronze threshold to match the woodgrain ✅ The lockset is a wireless, smart deadbolt with code access and app connectivity! It has built-in alarm technology, highest industry ratings for residential security, durability and finish, and can schedule access codes for guests so they only enter when you want! ✅ The aged bronze lock finish matches the threshold and compliments both the woodgrain finish and decorative glass Someone's curb appeal just went through the roof!
