Replacement Door FAQs
WHAT MAKES YOUR ENTRY DOORS ENERGY EFFICIENT?
The entry doors from Universal Windows Direct are engineered with a polyurethane foam core for maximum energy efficiency. Furthermore, the doors include weathertight features such as high-performance weather stripping and an airtight threshold.
WHAT TYPES OF ENTRY DOOR MATERIALS DO YOU OFFER?
Our entry door line includes steel and fiberglass entry doors. These two door materials are the most popular options on the market due to durability and aesthetics. Fiberglass doors are the best choice if you want the look of wood without maintenance, and steel is the best for return on investment at roughly 90%.
ARE YOUR ENTRY DOORS SECURE?
There are several components of our entry doors that help enhance security. Our reinforcing steel strike plate attaches behind the wood strike jamb for additional security, and our 4” x 10” composite lock block provides extra screw-holding power than wood. This allows the door to remain strong under the hardware.
Furthermore, the steel-edge perimeter means there is no wood edges to crack under force. While a wood edge steel door cracks under just one hit of a 100-pound test weight, our doors do not force option after 7 hits of a 100-pound test weight. This gives the door a Grade 40 security rating—one of the highest and safest in the industry.
HOW SAFE ARE YOUR SLIDING GLASS DOORS?
Extremely safe. Our glass is either 5 mm tempered or 7 mm laminated safety glass. Most of our competitors use only 3 mm or 4 mm glass. We also use proprietary roller and locking systems to assure that our doors won’t leave their tracks.
WHAT HARDWARE FINISH OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE?
Polished Brass, Satin Nickel, Aged Bronze, and Antique Brass.
