Best fit
Entry doors are a strong fit when the front door no longer matches the home, leaks air or water, feels dated, or needs better glass, privacy, and hardware planning.
Planning detail
What to confirm before selecting entry doors.
A useful proposal starts with clear field notes, product direction, and installation conditions. These are the details we review before anything is ordered or scheduled.
What the site visit confirms
- Door slab and frame condition
- Sidelite, transom, and privacy-glass direction
- Threshold, weather exposure, and drainage path
- Hardware, lock readiness, and daily access
Care and documentation
We review finish care, glass cleaning, hardware operation, weatherstrip care, and available warranty documentation with the project packet.
Pergo Systems
Entry systems, not just slabs.
Door, frame, threshold, glass, finish, lockset, trim, and installation details all need to work together.
Single and double entry
Balanced proportions for narrow entries, wide openings, and statement front elevations.
Glass and sidelites
Daylight, privacy, and security planned together with the right glass layout.
Hardware coordination
Handles, locks, hinges, smart access, and finish details aligned with the home.
Weather fit
Thresholds, sweeps, seals, and installation details selected for California exposure.
Pivot entries
Large-format entry doors for modern homes, planned around glass, pull hardware, pivot placement, and swing clearance.

How we plan the project.
Every proposal starts with field conditions, product goals, and installation details. This keeps the conversation practical from the first appointment.

Document the entry
We verify swing, frame condition, threshold, exterior exposure, trim, and interior finish needs.
2
Design the look
Panel style, glass, color, hardware, and sidelites are selected as one composition.
3
Prepare the proposal
You receive a site-specific proposal that reflects product, finish, and installation details.

Pivot entry coordination
Oversized pivot entries need field review for swing clearance, pivot point, glass, sidelites, transoms, and threshold performance.
Security and comfort
Reinforced entry planning can include visibility, ventilation, hardware, multi-point locking direction, and clean residential styling.
Common questions
Questions we answer during planning.
Can an entry door include sidelites or a transom?
Yes. Sidelites, transoms, privacy glass, and surrounding trim can be planned as part of one entry system.
Do you review smart-hardware readiness?
Yes. We review lock preparation, handle placement, access needs, and power or control considerations where relevant.
How do you handle weather exposure?
The site visit reviews threshold height, drainage, exterior exposure, seal path, and surrounding finish details before the proposal is prepared.
Can the entry door match other doors?
Yes. Entry, patio, security, and interior glass work can be planned together so finishes and hardware direction feel consistent.
