| Hi, we just purchased a Simpson wood door for our main entrance door. We will add a storm door but I need to be sure that we stain and seal the door because I want to reduce maintenance and i need a darker color.. I am in NEw Engand and oil exterior paint is not available. The door will be installed shortly and I need to stain when it is on (I know it is not an ideal situation). The door is Fir Douglas. Suggestion on stain and seal? I need brand suggestions. Here the recommendations of the manufacturer but no best brand mentioned.

| You do not and should not use oil for a finish on an exterior door.You can paint it with a quality primer and quality finish paint. |

| Christopher, I do not want to paint the door. I would like to see the wood grain. I am trying to follow the instruction at: http://www.simpsondoor.com/care-finishing/ But I need some ideas about best product/brand. Thanks anyway |
