FWIW, Menards locally has Jeld-Wen as a premium line. Recently
installed some of their windows and was quite pleased with the
quality.

I'm going to install steal doors, some of which have insulated glass and
will be in the $200-$500 price range.


ThermaTrue is one of the major door specialist companies. Normally
sold through better lumber yards. Paid $400 for a fiberglass 36" on
recent project; has nice solid prehung frame and finished off with a
Schlage lockset.

Does anyone have a preference on Schlage "F" series (ansi 2) or Kwikset
"Signature" series (ansi 1) locks?

..
Preferences here are Schlage and Weiser. Kwikset is common on the
subprime projects, probably OK for basement doors and guest
bedrooms.YMMV
