How Long Do Front Doors Last?

Apr 02, 2021

Despite being a smaller part of your home’s overall makeup, your front door certainly plays an important role. So, as you consider replacing it with a newer model, you’ll want to be sure you’re choosing a long-lasting upgrade that you know will protect your house. This leads you to wonder, “How long do front doors last?” The best way to know how long your front door will last is based on what material it’s made out of. Here are some of the top entry door materials available today:

Metal

Many objects made of metal last long into the future, so it only makes sense that a metal front door would as well! While there’s a few different options out there, most metal doors are made from steel. As long as it’s properly installed and cared for, there’s no reason for your steel door not to last forever.

Fiberglass

Another enduring material for your front door is fiberglass. Despite being fairly lightweight, fiberglass proves to be exceptionally hardwearing, making it a great option for any entry door. Just like metal, fiberglass doors should serve you as long as you continue living in your home.

Wood

It’s hard to beat the timeless beauty of a wooden front door. And while years ago a wood door may have eventually rotted or splintered, modern technology has allowed these doors to be crafted with much longer lifespans. Depending on the specific wood you choose, your door should last anywhere between 30-60 years.

While lifespan is certainly an important factor when picking a replacement door, it isn’t the only one. If you have other specifications for picking your new front door, you can rest assured that they’ll be included when you partner with All Seasons Window & Door MFG, Inc.

"All custom measured windows and new front door for a 1957 house. Sales rep was knowledgeable about their products and helped us decide what was best for our needs. Installation crew showed up when they said they would, and were super organized. They left the space very clean and made sure to protect our new floors. Very satisfied!"
