Prehung Exterior Entry Doors: Fiberglass, Wood, and Steel

Your customer picked the door off a photo, and now it has to arrive right, on the day you promised. We build and prehang the whole opening so you are not the one chasing four vendors.

Exterior entry systems

What an exterior door has to do.

An exterior door is a system. The door, the frame, the sill, the weatherstrip, the glass, and the finish all have to hold up together, and the callback comes back on the whole opening.

Tucker sells and builds exterior entry systems in fiberglass, wood, and steel, with sidelites, transoms, segment and radius tops, and custom grille patterns. Fiberglass carries most of the volume because it looks like wood without wood's weather problems. Wood is the choice when the opening is protected and the character has to be real. Steel is the pick where budget and security lead. Every configuration prices live in the Design Portal.

The exterior line

Four ways to fill an exterior opening.

Custom exterior doors

If it isn't on the standard chart, we build it.

A radius top. A nine foot pair with a transom. A species off the standard list. A jamb depth that matches a hundred year old wall. Send the drawing, or a photo and a tape measure, and our millwork shop builds the unit and prehangs it before it leaves the building.

  • Radius and segmented tops, arched transoms
  • Oversized and out of square openings
  • Historically matched profiles and jamb depths
  • Custom species, sidelites, and glass

The brand lines

Five lines cover almost every exterior opening.

Already know what the job needs?

Configure the whole opening yourself, in the Design Portal.

Three kinds of job. Three different orders.

What is already in the opening decides how the order is written. Send us which one it is and the unit comes back priced the right way the first time.

New construction Prehung to the opening
Replacement Unit to an existing opening
Historic or custom A shop build
The job
A new build or an addition. The opening is framed and there is no door in it yet.
The existing entry is failing or the homeowner wants a different door in the same hole.
A radius top, an odd size, a species off the standard list, or a profile that has to match the house.
What you send us
Rough opening, handing, jamb depth, and the rest of the checklist below.
The opening measured after tear out, plus the wall thickness at the jamb.
The drawing, or a photo and a tape measure. We will tell you what the job wants.
What you order
A prehung unit with frame, sill, weatherstrip, and hardware prep, checked before it ships.
A prehung unit sized to the opening as measured.
A unit our millwork shop builds and prehangs before it leaves the building.
What the crew touches
Set, flash, and trim. Nothing to tear out.
Old unit out, new unit in, then siding, flashing, and interior casing at the opening.
Set and trim, same as any prehung unit. The hard part happened in our shop.

Seven things to have in hand before you quote it.

Every prehung unit that comes back for rework is missing one of these. Have them in hand and the order goes through the Design Portal in one pass.

01 Rough opening Width and height of the opening as framed, not the old door. We size the jamb to it.
02 Handing and swing Inswing or outswing, left or right hand, viewed from outside. Get this wrong and the unit ships backwards.
03 Jamb depth 4‑9/16 in. standard. Anything thicker, from a two by six wall or a masonry veneer, has to be called out.
04 Species or grain On wood, the species. On fiberglass, smooth or a woodgrain texture, and which grain pattern the elevation is matching.
05 Glass and lite cut Clear, obscure, or decorative, plus the lite pattern and any simulated divided lite bars.
06 Sill and threshold Sill type and color, and whether the job needs an adjustable or a rated threshold.
07 Bore and hardware Standard 2‑1/8 in. bore, multipoint, or a mortise lock. Multipoint has to be machined at the factory.

Options & upgrade paths

What you can spec on the unit.

Each of these is an option in the portal, priced as you pick it. No callback, no wait for a quote sheet.

Glass and lite configurations Insert glass and flush glazed units, from full lite through 3/4, half, and decorative. Privacy ratings and simulated divided lite where the elevation calls for it.
Sidelites, transoms, and tops Single or double sidelites, rectangular or radius transoms, segment and arch tops built to the rough opening.
Grilles and grid patterns Simulated divided lite, true divided lite, and grilles between the glass. Custom patterns and bar widths on the wood units, standard patterns on fiberglass.
Frames and sill systems Composite frames and sill systems on fiberglass units, so the part closest to the water is not wood. Check availability with your Tucker rep.
Hardware prep and bore Standard and multipoint prep, deadbolt bore, and hinge routing done to spec before staging.
Questions we get

What dealers ask us.

Fiberglass, most of the time. It gives you the wood look without swelling, rot, or a seasonal repaint, and it holds a warranty on a west-facing entry that wood will fight. Wood belongs under an overhang or a covered porch.

Yes. Simulated divided lite and true divided lite run on the wood units, with the bar width and pattern set per opening, and grilles between the glass are available where the elevation just needs the look. Send the elevation and we will match the pattern across the door, sidelites, and transom.

That is most of what our custom shop does. Odd widths, tall units, radius and segment tops, and historic profile matches. Send the drawing and we will price it.

We sell the opening as a system, not a loose slab: frame, sill, weatherstrip, and hardware prep. On fiberglass we run a composite sill and frame so the part closest to the water is not wood.
