- Want dramatic height? Add a transom (rectangular or arched).

❓Can I add sidelites to an existing door?
Sidelites usually require a new frame sized for them. We custom-build the complete configuration for a perfect fit and finish.
❓Inswing or outswing—which should I choose?
Inswing is common for front entries; outswing can improve weather sealing and security in exposed areas. We’ll recommend the best option for your layout.
❓ Will sidelites or a transom reduce energy efficiency?
With Low-E insulated glass and proper weatherseals, these Available Door Configurations maintain excellent performance—even in Canadian winters.
❓ Can I customize the style of my steel or fiberglass door?
Absolutely. We offer a wide selection of panel designs, paint colors, decorative glass inserts, sidelites, transoms, and hardware finishes. You can also choose between single or double doors.
❓ What are the pros and cons of steel vs fiberglass doors?
Steel doors are stronger, more affordable, and fire-resistant. However, fiberglass offers more warmth to the touch and deeper woodgrain textures. If strength and value are your top priorities, steel entry doors Canada are an excellent choice.
❓ What if my opening isn’t “standard”?
No problem. PRK builds Available Door Configurations to your exact measurements—custom widths, heights, and combinations are routine.

Choose steel for value and sleek durability; choose fiberglass for a wood-look finish and low maintenance. Both can be built into the same Available Door Configurations.
