Front Entry Door Installation and Replacement FAQs
Can I keep my existing frame and just change the door?
Sometimes yes, particularly if the frame is sound and reasonably square. In other cases, frames are
warped, rotten or poorly sized for modern doors, so replacing the whole unit makes more sense. Your
tradie can check the frame and explain the pros and cons of each approach for your entry.
Should I install the security door before or after the new front door?
Most people install or adjust the main entry door and frame first and then have a security door
measured to suit the final opening. If you already have a security screen, mention this so both
tradies can plan around each other’s work and hinge clearances.
Do new front doors come pre finished?
Some products arrive pre primed or factory coated, while others are raw and must be painted or
stained soon after installation. Your installer can advise how quickly you need to finish the door
and what products are suitable for your climate and exposure.
Can I improve insulation with a new front door?
Upgrading to a better sealed door set, using solid or insulated cores and adding quality seals can
reduce draughts and heat loss. Your tradie can talk through options like threshold seals, weather
strips and suitable door types for your entry orientation.
