Hello-
We are getting ready to have our front entry door replaced with an
entry door and two sidelites. We have determined that we cannot afford
Therma-tru.
We have also been looking at Benchmark by Therma-tru at Lowes and
Feather River at Home Depot. We have ruled out Jeldwen because they do
not seem to have wood-texture doors. Another brand that was mentioned
was Door Fab at Lowes.
I'd appreciate your thoughts about these doors. We will do our own
stain most likely.
This door will not get heavy use at all- will be opened rarely. As
for the finish, if owner applied, I would guess one door would be as
good as .
Thanks very much for your help!

The only person who will really care which door you get is your wife--
or maybe her girlfriends. So let her pick it out and make some points.

Only thing is since there are sidelites, be sure to use a double
cylinder on the deadbolt-- and make sure you get a Grade 1 security
level lock. I recently picked up a nice Schlage at HD on sale for $109.
Most of the Grade 1 models were at least $160.
