Who would that be?

This does not say "wood" to me. I currently have a wood door that came with my house, but in my last house I replaced wood with fiberglass.

Which fiberglass brand did you get?

I just looked up the receipt and it was foam filled steel, sorry for my mistake. I got this one:

Thanks! How do you like them? Do they feel sturdy and long-lasting?

Get iron or fiberglass

Jeld wen? Pretty sure they’re Volvo-level doors

It really depends on what you are looking for OP. You get can basic solid standard wood door from any hardware/lumber store for a couple hundred. Or you can spend 20k plus for a higher end door. Plus everything in between. What are you looking for, style, budget, size?

It’s been a while but the first thing we did when we bought our house was to replace the early 80s steel front door with a solid wood one. We got/ordered it at TW Perry https://www.twperry.com and had it installed by a contractor. Then we did it again in the back with a door from Wheaton Door & Window https://www.wheatondw.com/ who also installed it - they had done our replacement windows in the meantime. I honestly don’t remember the brand or brands, what was important was that they were solid wood and had selections/styles that would work with our 150-year-old house.

Last try. Does anyone know anything about solid wood front doors? We need one but I don't know where to start. All the online advice I'm finding relates to the fiber glass and steel doors.

Bump

Who are the best manufacturers of solid wood front doors (exterior doors?)
