Entry and Patio Doors for Oahu Homes
Your front door takes a beating in Hawaii. Sun dries out wood, humidity makes it swell, salt air rusts steel and termites go after anything they can chew. We install doors that stand up to all of it, along with security screen doors that let you keep the door open for the breeze.
Door Options We Install
| Door type | Why homeowners choose it |
|---|---|
| Therma-Tru fiberglass doors | Wood-grain looks without rot, warping or rust |
| Simpson wood doors | Real wood for covered entries and custom designs |
| Tru-Frame security screen doors | Airflow with a locked barrier, rust-free aluminum |
| Sliding patio doors | Smooth-rolling vinyl doors with Low-E glass |
| Patio doors with pet doors | A built-in door for dogs and cats, no panel insert |
| French patio doors | Swinging doors that open wide to the lanai |
Choosing a Door for Hawaii’s Climate
- Fiberglass is the best all-around choice. It won’t warp, rot or rust and can be painted or stained.
- Wood is beautiful but works best under a covered lanai and needs regular refinishing.
- Steel is affordable but can dent and rust near the ocean.
- Hardware matters. Ask for finishes that hold up in salt air.
Door Costs
Price depends on material, size, glass, sidelights and hardware. Our entry door replacement cost guide and sliding glass door cost guide break down typical prices.
Door FAQs
Can you replace just the door and keep the frame?
Sometimes. If the frame is solid and square we can replace the slab. If not, a prehung door with a new frame seals better.
Do security screen doors fit sliding doors?
Yes. Security slider screens replace the flimsy factory screen on most sliding doors.
Do you install doors and windows together?
Yes, and it’s a good way to save on setup and get a matching look.
