The first and most important tip about installing a fiberglass entry door is that each door includes a manufacturer’s guide and instructions for proper installation. Read the guide to avoid installation problems. Here’s another great tip: when removing the old door, be careful not to damage the frame. There might already be some damage to the door frame that might only be visible once the old door is removed, so be prepared to repair any damage to the door frame or surrounding materials.

Measurements are key! Always measure and then measure again to be sure. Accurate measurements ensure that you don’t need to re-do your work. Measure the width, height, and depth of the entry door frame. This ensures that the door will fit. There’s no need to call a contractor for a DIY job that can be completed in one afternoon.
