HGI, Provia, Milikin Millwork Entry Doors
Comments (5)For the HGI, I am looking to do modify my front entry to install a 96" fiberglass door. The name of the door is Mohave. However, for the Provia door, I am looking to get the Signet Fiberglass "Crystal" door. The only difference I see is that the warranty on the finish is that Provia offers 7 years vs. 5 years for HGI. Both doors seems to be constructed the same but I'm not sure. Provia also indicates that they have a 3 pt lock system which runs around $1200.00 which is a requirement for 96" doors. Provia will not sell the door without installing this lock. For the HGI, they have a 2 pt. lock system. The biggest difference that I'm finding is that Provia is $7000 more expensive. The price mentioned is including installation....See MoreProvia entry door options (colors, glass, steel gauge)
Comments (11)>I should point out that the black color is only available on fiberglass and textured steel Very good to know. Weird. >Why would you want to have the doors most in need of security made of the thinnest steel? I am unclear to what extent the steel thickness affects the security of the door. Is literally breaking through or cutting through the door panel a likely means of break-in? By that theory, wouldn't any fiberglass door be comparatively insecure? I had thought that weakness in the frame and/or locks was more likely to be exploited by a would-be intruder. In the meantime, our decision pendulum might be swinging back towards Heritage fiberglass with a woodstain finish (for the front door at least). Don't worry, we'll change our minds a few more times again before we order!...See MoreProvia Door quote- Is this reasonable?
Comments (6)Yes, I'd say that is somewhere in the spectrum of expected pricing. Lot of variables involved regarding the installation, etc, but that Signet is a VERY high end door, and that is an expensive glass package as well. I'd also add that at $400, it sounds like they are throwing the storm door in for a song. You could easily double that storm door price and take as a "discount" on the entry door....See MoreHMI entry door and Provia storm door
Comments (2)Lot of different styles, options, and installation circumstances that could affect the price (not to mention the market location), but that does not seem outside the normal range for a high end entry door and high end storm....See Morewhiteycat
