Energy Efficiency Metrics
Key Metrics
U-factor measures heat loss (lower is better). ER (Energy Rating) provides overall efficiency score. SHGC and VT ratings apply to glass inserts for solar heat gain and visible light transmission.
ENERGY STAR Certification
Door systems can be specified to meet ENERGY STAR Canada requirements where applicable. Ratings vary by glass inserts, size, and configuration-verify on your quote and product label.

Multipoint Locks - Important Requirement
Key benefits include:

- Better Seal Compression: Creates a tighter seal against drafts and Canadian weather
- Structural Support: Distributes stress evenly across the door frame
⚠️ Required for 7' and 8' Door Heights: Multipoint locks are mandatory for taller doors to prevent warping due to increased surface area and stress on taller slabs. This ensures long-term performance and maintains the door's structural integrity.

Care & Maintenance
Keep Your Door Looking Great
Simple maintenance steps to ensure long-lasting performance and beauty.
Regular Cleaning
Clean door surfaces with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and a soft cloth.
Avoid: Harsh solvents, abrasive scrubbers, or ammonia-based cleaners that can damage the finish.
Inspect Weatherstripping
Check weatherstripping quarterly for wear, gaps, or damage. Replace if compressed or torn.
Frequency: Every 3 months, or seasonally before winter and summer.
Check Hinges & Hardware
Inspect hinges for loose screws and proper alignment. Tighten as needed.
Tip: A properly aligned door should close smoothly without dragging or gaps.
Lubricate Moving Parts
Apply silicone-based lubricant to hinges, locks, and multipoint mechanisms annually.
Products: Use silicone spray or graphite powder-avoid oil-based lubricants that attract dirt.
Touch-Up Paint
Inspect painted surfaces for chips or scratches. Touch up promptly to prevent rust.
When: Address chips immediately, especially before winter. Follow manufacturer's paint guidelines.
Seasonal Checklist
Perform a comprehensive inspection twice yearly-before winter and summer.
Include: All weatherstripping, locks, hinges, paint condition, and glass seals.
Pro Tip: Create a Maintenance Schedule
Set calendar reminders for seasonal maintenance tasks. Regular care prevents costly repairs and extends your door's lifespan. Keep a log of maintenance activities and any issues you notice-this helps track patterns and ensures warranty compliance.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Are steel doors better than fiberglass?
Steel doors offer superior dent resistance and a rigid feel at a lower price point. Fiberglass provides better insulation and won't rust, with a wood-like appearance.
Will a steel door rust?
Modern steel doors have protective coatings and paint finishes that prevent rust. Proper maintenance and touch-ups as needed will ensure long-lasting performance.
Can I install a smart lock on a steel door?
Yes! Most steel doors are compatible with smart locks. We can help you select hardware that works with your preferred smart home system.
Do multipoint locks really help?
Yes. They improve seal compression and security when properly installed. Multiple locking points (top, middle, bottom) resist forced entry better than a single deadbolt and create a tighter seal against drafts and weather. Note: Multipoint locks are required for 7' and 8' tall doors to prevent warping due to the increased surface area and stress on taller slabs.
How energy efficient are steel doors?
Steel doors with foam-insulated cores provide excellent energy efficiency. When properly installed with quality weatherstripping, they can meet ENERGY STAR requirements.
