Residential Door Replacement Service In Seattle

Doors are one of the most significant architectural component in a home. Doors are how you enter and access your home, so they are natural a focal point of your home. Your home doors need to be beautiful enough to provide an inviting feel, yet secure enough to repel and deter malicious individuals.

The wrong front entry door can seriously detract from a home's curb appeal, while the right front entry door can transform an old "plain jane" entrance into a modern work of art.

We are Seattle's experts in door replacement, from front entry doors, patio doors, french doors or even multi-paneled doors. We can install doors from any manufacturer, but we turn to Frank's Lumber for our replacement doors.

Types of Home Doors

All residential home doors fall into one or more of the following categories: 

• Front entry doors - available in many configurations such as single, double or multi-panel, with side lites, etc.

• Patio Doors - sliding doors, French doors (swing open instead of sliding), available in many configurations

• Exterior Doors - any door other than a Front Entry or Patio Door, can be single or French, inswing or outswing, etc

• Interior Doors - Same features and options an all other doors, usually much lighter in design and materials

• Multi-Panel Doors - can be a three or four panel sliding door, or may move accordion style.

Door Material Choices

Just like windows, home doors come in many choices of materials and construction. The best door material for any door depends strongly on the doors location, exposure to the elements, security needs, and other issues. Some of the more common door choices are listed here:

Aluminum Clad-Wood Doors - Low-maintenance exterior metal cladding is like a coat of armor for extra protection from the Seattle weather. These are excellent as patio doors, featuring beautiful wood inside with protective, low maintenance metal cladding outside. The anodized aluminum finish is durable, easy to care for and available in a variety of popular colors. We recommend Windsor Aluminum Clad-Wood Patio Doors. 

Wood Doors - All wood doors are used almost exclusively in protected front entry doors where you enjoy the beauty of natural wood interiors and exteriors without worrying about wood rot and water saturation from adverse weather. There are literally thousands of options when it comes to Front Entry doors. We recommend visiting a Door Showroom like Frank's Lumber - The Door Store to view all your choices in design, wood and hardware.

Vinyl Doors - Vinyl is lightweight, affordable and remarkably durable to give you years of steadfast performance. Vinyl patio doors are easy enough for young children to operate, low maintenance and reliable. Replacement vinyl patio doors are available with tons of design options like internal grids or blinds to boost your home's beauty and character. Built-in pet doors are a popular option for many families, see below.

Steel Doors - Mostly used for extra exterior doors where security and durability is the main concern. 

Replacement Door Features

Door configurations - Choose from two, three or four panels, sidelites, transoms and more.

Inner Grids - These are the decorative pieces that divide the glass into panes. Many homeowners like grids in their sliding glass doors for the accent and character to their home. Grids can detract from a spacious view, or help add privacy from close neighbors due to the tendency of the human gaze to stop at the nearest obstruction.

Window Glass Options - The window glass in your sliding doors can add both style and performance benefits. Choose from performance features like impact-resistant laminated glass for security concerns, and/or Cardinal 366 Low-E glass to maximize energy efficiency and protect from UV fading. Style features include textured privacy glass for privacy concerns. Many homeowners also appreciate the ease of use and low maintenance features of blinds between the glass. Tempered glass is standard in all door glass, providing extra strength and safety from breaking glass (tempered glass shatters into thousands of tiny pieces when it breaks, eliminating the deadly danger of deep cuts from normal broken glass).

Pet Panel - Homeowners and families with small dogs or cats love this option. A Pet Panel provides easy access for your pets in a seamless, integrated door panel system.
