Entry door suggestions

We need a new front door and are wanting a decent brand--middle of line or so--we might be moving but still want to put in a brand that will last. Fiberglass seems to be the material of choice? I have seen Andersen doors recommended. I went to Lowes and got a quote for a pella door that won't rot, but those seem to be looked down upon from the reviews. Where would we look other than HD/Lowes. Our door is 36 with 2 sidelites that are 12". Just want a plain 6 panel front door with the sidelites. We are in B'ham, Al.

Fiberglass doors are a good option, and there are a wide variety of insert styles available. It's a good idea to also check with a local building supply. They will usually have expertise and catalogs that you won't find at the "big box" stores.

ThermaTru............... not at big box.

They are now.

That said, that’s what I use, mainly because that’s what my “local lumber yard” stocks.

ThermaTru is now also manufactured in Mexico. I’m just guessing but that maybe the Box Store Line.

I’ve never had a problem with ThermaTru and would recommend them but I’m curious about the difference between the ones manufactured in Mexico vs. the ones in Ohio and which ones I'm getting.
