Your entry door invites the outside world into your home. Making a first impression on your houseguests and passersby, your front entry door should be decorative yet functional. Exterior doors should provide security and insulation to the inside of your home and its occupants. Entry doors are typically constructed of wood, steel, fiberglass, aluminum or a combination. Solid wood entry doors are the most popular and the most expensive (around $600 to $800 online). Wooden exterior doors are most commonly constructed of pine, oak and fir because of their strength. Steel and aluminum entry doors are becoming more popular because they are less likely to warp and they provide greater security compared to wooden doors. Styles of exterior doors include raised paneled doors, flushed doors, or doors with windows or stain glass inserts. The standard size of an entry door is 3-feet wide x 6-feet, 8-inches tall. Exterior doors range from $250 to $1000 online.
