I have two doors that are long overdue for replacement. Both doors will be painted.
#1 is the front door. Currently it's a steel 36 inch door with two sidelights. I'm planning on going with fiberglass replacements.
#2 is a patio door that was used to a 3 season porch on the back of the house. The current door is a 6 foot wooden French door, single pane, that doesn't seal worth a darn. I think it is actually an interior door that was thrown in to keep the cost down. I'm also thinking of going fiberglass with this door.
My questions are: how do you accurately measure the opening to get the doors ordered, any reason to not use fiberglass, and any suggestions on brands of doors to use?
