Entry Door Security Features
A front door should do more than look good — it should protect your home and family. Our steel entry doors are built with reinforced structural components and upgraded locking options designed to improve strength and resistance to forced entry.
-
Reinforced Frame Construction
Our entry systems feature a steel-reinforced composite door frame for added structural stability.
For configurations with sidelites, reinforced composite frames are also used to maintain strength across the entire entry system — not just the active door panel. -
Lock Bore Reinforcement Plate
A steel lock bore reinforcement plate is installed behind the locking area to strengthen one of the most vulnerable points of any door.
This added layer of steel helps support the hardware and improve resistance in the area around the latch and deadbolt. -
3-Point Locking System
Upgrade to a built-in 3-point locking system that secures the door at multiple points — typically at the top, centre, and bottom.
Instead of relying on a single deadbolt, this system distributes locking pressure along the door frame, improving stability and overall security.
Energy Efficiency & Comfort in Ontario Weather
A properly built and professionally installed entry door plays an important role in maintaining indoor comfort — especially during Ontario’s cold winters and humid summers. Our steel entry doors feature insulated cores and tight perimeter weather seals designed to help reduce drafts and limit heat transfer.
By minimizing air leakage and improving thermal performance around the frame and glass inserts, your new door helps maintain more consistent indoor temperatures and reduce strain on your heating and cooling system throughout the year.

Learn moreHow to Choose the Right Front Door
Choosing the right front door comes down to four key decisions: material, security, design, and installation quality.
1. Choose the Right Material
Steel doors are strong, secure, and budget-friendly. Fibreglass doors offer enhanced design flexibility and wood-look finishes. Select the material that fits your priorities.
2. Prioritize Security
Look for reinforced frames, quality hardware, and multi-point locking systems to improve resistance against forced entry.
3. Consider Design & Customization
Select the configuration (single, double, sidelites, transom), glass style, colour, and hardware that complement your home’s architecture and provide the level of privacy you need.
4. Ensure Professional Installation
Even the best door won’t perform properly if installed incorrectly. Precise measurements, proper sealing, and professional finishing are essential for long-term durability and energy efficiency.

How long does it typically take to install a steel entry door replacement?
From the moment a door is delivered and unpacked, it should take no more than 3 hours to install it. If the door comes with sidelites or transom, an extra hour or two may be required to complete the installation. -
Will steel doors rust?
They might, but only if the protective coat of paint is scratched or the door itself is dented. This is why you should paint over any scratch that appears on your steel door to ensure rust-free service life. -
What are the top benefits of choosing a metal door for front door replacement?
The main advantage of metal exterior doors is that they are more energy-efficient due to better insulation. All in all, steel doors offer a great market value for the customer - they are reliable, safe, and affordable, all at the same time. -
What size do steel doors come in?
Standard steel doors come in the following sizes:
- Width 28”; 30”; 32”; 34”; 36”

Which material offers better home security — steel or fiberglass front door replacement?
When it comes to security, the most important factor is the lock - and not the door material. If you have additional security concerns, you can always get a steel door with a solid composite vinyl frame instead of the wooden one. Combined with a good lock, this will make your entrance door almost impenetrable. -
Is it possible to repaint steel doors after installation?
Yes, metal doors can be painted. However, before doing so, you should take the door out of its frame and remove (or cover with tape) any hardware. Then, you should sand the door, prime it, and, finally, paint it (ideally, spray-paint). Minimum DIY skills are required for the job. -
Are steel doors energy efficient?
Steel doors are highly energy-efficient! This comes mainly from the fact that they are filled with high-density foam and feature weatherstrips and sweeps that easily stop the drafts. -
What factors most influence the cost of front door replacement in Toronto?
Material matters. Steel is the least expensive, fiberglass has excellent insulation and strength.
Doors dimensions - custom sizes cost more.
Door configuration - two slabs, sidelites, or transoms raise expenses.
Decorative elements - design glass, custom colors.
Hardware, multipoint locks, pull bars, smart locks.
Installation process. Older Toronto residences might require structural adjustments. -
Is replacing a front door more cost-effective than repairing it?

However ongoing problems such as inadequate insulation or safety issues can result in increased energy costs or additional upkeep. A new door replacement always lowers heating expenses and enhances property value.
-
What are the differences between entry, front, and exterior door replacements?
