Best places to buy front door

[konapoppy]

Are there places I should be looking besides Home Depot and Lowe’s?

Maybe check and see if you have any home improvement surplus stores in the area. We have one that's about 40 min away and were able to get our front door there for less than half what the big box retailers were selling similar doors for. If you happen to be in the western Philly burbs, this is the store www.heebys.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiAirb_BRBNEiwALHlnD_MTGHGYgqEhTztLNYAHxLj7TMQdnvya8sFdNUy2kRcLwWhNDhlBzBoCCmkQAvD_BwE

I wasn't thrilled with the product lines HD/Lowe's carried when we replaced ours a few years ago.  We went to a lumber/building supplies retailer instead, and got a ThermaTru door.

A Local lumber yard may also carry doors/windows.
We ordered our Therma Tru doors (front door with side light and back door) about 5 years ago from a local lumber yard. They also sell milguard windows. Then a local handyman that was one of their “certified” installers painted and installed the doors.
You can also find a door you like from the manufacturer and most of them then will provide local providers based on zip code.

Ditto checking with a reputable door and window place. Our neighbor bought a HD door last year and they said it’s already showing lots of wear. Beware new doors can be pricey.

Our contractor got ours through a lumber place but I could go online and look at all the options and get a custom door from Therma-Tru. Of course then I came up with one that was $2800 more than the contractor one! I got rid of the custom paint job and a few other things but overall I'm really glad I didn't just go with the one the contractor chose.
