Hi,
We are in the process of replacing the windows and the entrance door to our ranch house. We are using Marvin windows but they don't sell front doors. We live in Florida and are looking for a good quality door. Most of the doors we've seen are traditional, we are looking for a contemporary or mid century modern style door. Does anyone have suggestions on companies? We've seen some doors from Crestview that look fine but don't know about the quality. Thanks,
Jennifer |

| Not so much on Crestview. What material are you looking to use? |

Hi,
Thanks for the response. Either steel or fiberglass, or mahogany (that was suggested as a wood we can use in Florida by a sales rep). I just want one that's well built, is secure, and in a modern style that doesn't cost a fortune.
Is there such a thing? :-) |

| Look into ProVia, they make a very solid door. Also HMI , if they are available down there. |

| Agree with mmarse, worst case would be to go with Therma Tru. Not in the class as the above brands but much better than most all the crap available. And Marvin does sell and manufacture entry doors just be prepared to sell your first born as they truly are a high end ($$) price point item. |

| Thanks mmarse and millworkman, we'll check these companies out! |

| I also would reccomend Provia. I have a Provia fiberglass door and i love it. Also Marvin stoped making entry doors about two years ago. |

| We recently replaced our 40 year old wooden front door with a CGI Impact Glass French Door with the white interlayer. It is very contemporary, reduces outdoor sounds, allows a lot of light into the house, and is very attractive.. IMO. It comes with Hager hinges and Baldwin lock/handleset. CGI Windows is one of the few companies that has County approval for doors opening "in" instead of "out." |

| Wow, that "review" is so incredible, it almost sounds as though you work for them or sell the product, lol... just kidding, CLEARLY you do actually work for them or sell the product :D... the shameless and dishonest promotion speaks volumes as to the type of company that is associated with the brand IMO. |
