Entry & Patio Door Options for Franklin Homes
Different openings call for different solutions. Valicor can help homeowners compare front entry doors, larger double-door configurations and sliding patio doors.
Front Entry Doors
Update the main entrance with a new door, color, glass configuration and hardware selected to complement your home.
Double Entry Doors
Double doors can create a larger entrance and provide a distinctive architectural feature for homes with appropriately sized openings.
Sliding Patio Doors
Sliding patio doors provide exterior access, a large viewing area and natural light without requiring the interior space of a swinging door.
Give Your Franklin Home a New First Impression
Your front door is a functional part of the home, but it's also one of the most visible exterior design features.
Replacing an older door gives you an opportunity to change the color, glass, hardware and overall character of the entrance.
A replacement doesn't have to completely change the style of your home. The goal can be as simple as creating a cleaner, updated version of the entrance you already have.
Common Reasons to Replace an Entry Door
- Door is difficult to open or close
- Noticeable drafts around the opening
- Worn or damaged components
- Outdated exterior appearance
- Desire for additional natural light
- Exterior remodeling or curb-appeal upgrades
See What a New Entry Door Can Change
Replacing one exterior door can make a noticeable difference without requiring a complete exterior renovation.
White Entry Door Transformation
An example of how replacing the existing door can give the entrance a cleaner, updated finished appearance.
A Different Entrance With One Replacement
Door style, glass, color and professional installation all contribute to the final appearance of the entrance.
Your Front Door Doesn't Have to Blend In
A new entry door gives homeowners an opportunity to decide whether the entrance should blend with the rest of the exterior or become a focal point.
White and neutral finishes can create a traditional, understated appearance. Darker or contrasting colors can make the entrance stand out more prominently.
Glass designs, panel layouts and hardware can further change the finished appearance.
- Multiple color options
- Decorative glass choices
- Different panel configurations
- Hardware and finish options
- Single and double-door configurations
Connect Your Home With the Patio, Deck or Backyard
Sliding patio doors combine exterior access with a large glass area, allowing the opening to serve as both a doorway and a source of natural light.
Because the panels slide rather than swing into the room, sliding doors can also work well in spaces where maintaining usable interior floor space is important.
If your existing patio door is difficult to operate, deteriorating or simply outdated, replacing the complete assembly gives the opening a fresh start.
- Large glass viewing area
- Convenient outdoor access
- Space-saving sliding operation
- Updated frame and door assembly
- Professional installation and finishing
Proper Patio Door Installation Matters
Patio doors occupy a large opening in an exterior wall. Accurate measurements, proper positioning, sealing and adjustment are important parts of the replacement process.
The existing door is removed and the opening is prepared before the replacement unit is installed.
Once installed, the door should be checked for alignment, sliding operation, locking and the overall finished appearance of the opening.
What to Consider When Choosing a New Exterior Door
A successful door replacement balances appearance, functionality and proper installation.
Door Style
Choose a configuration appropriate for the existing opening and architecture of the home.
Color & Finish
Coordinate with the exterior or use the new door as a contrasting design feature.
Glass Design
Glass can change natural light, sightlines and the visual character of an entry door.
Hardware
Handles, locks and finishes complete the look and affect how the door is used every day.
Opening Size
Existing dimensions help determine which replacement configurations are appropriate for the project.
Installation
Proper measurement, positioning, sealing and adjustment are critical parts of the finished project.
You Don't Have to Replace Everything at Once
If one exterior door is giving you problems, you can start with that opening. Door replacement does not have to be part of a whole-home renovation.
If you're planning more extensive improvements, Valicor can also evaluate entry doors, sliding patio doors and replacement windows as part of the same overall project.
