would appreciate suggestions on entrance door manufacturers in addition to Simpson. their stain grade, solid, kiln-dried fir/hemlock, colonial style with a fan of insulated glass at top quarter of door seems nice but am shopping for other makers and prices. Thanks for any input, Tuna

Just priced a prehung simpson door, mahogany with 3 lights, prefinished, $7250. HAHA, is that a joke ? Should be about half that at the most.
Call your local millwork shop.
You could check ThermaTru.
Rogue Valley, Jeld-Wen, Captiva, Masonite....
Simpson's probably the best bang for the buck though
Check http://www.newyankee.com Norm built a mahogany entrance door a few years ago. There's a VHS tape and drawing available.
Who makes the best balance of construction, appearance, and thermal efficiency (highest R, lowest leaks, etc.)?
