Warped fiberglass door?
We bought a fiberglass door and two sidelights last fall and had it professionally installed. Over the course of the winter and spring, we noticed air leakage, the wind would whistle in. Called the company, they determined the door was warped. They are replacing the door, but only the actual door and not the whole unit. When it came from the manufacturer, it was all one piece. They plan on removing the glass panel from the old door and putting into the new one. My question is is this method of repair acceptable or should the company replace the whole unit door and both sidelights ? I'm worried about the repair not standing up to the winds we have up on the big hill we live on. I really don't want air or water leakage from the decorative glass insert that must be moved.

Where can I drill to install lock on fiberglass door?
I recently had a ThermaTru exterior door installed just a plain panelled one with lights at the top nothing fancy. I would like to add a chain lock or toggle bolt near the top of the door for a little extra childproofing. I assume there is a border of wood around the door, but I don't want to drill until I'm sure. Can I drill holes to install my extra lock at the outside top edge about 2 feet above the existing deadbolt of one of these doors? About how much of a " margin" of wood is there before I would hit fiberglass? Thank you Thanks, both of you. I didn't think I could call ThermaTru because I thought they would only talk to dealers. But...they are emailing me a schematic showing me exactly where I can drill. Cool. Thanks again.

Do steel or fiberglass doors insulate better?
I know this can vary, but in general which is true. I've hear two sides of the coin. I have hear that fiberglass is better because the skin itself has an insulating quality, but I have also heard that steel is better because the steel skin is thinner than the fiberglass skin which allows more room for the insulating foam core between the skins. Thanks.

Staining fiberglass doors to add accents?
I want to stain a fiberglass door, and so any advice is welcome. Also, what I'd like to do is give it more character by making it darker in some areas, like the groves or edges. Can I use different color stains, or just apply one coat at different thicknesses?Edit yes, it can be stained with a gel stain, there is lots of information even on here about it.. I know, technically, because the fiberglass doesn't soak up the stain, it's really more like painting than staining, but because some of the original color will show through, it's considered staining.
