Here at West Bay Home Services, we only stock fiberglass doors because they are more economical and resistant to scratches than steel doors. Not only that, but these entries are far sturdier as well! Fiberglass is the clear choice for anyone looking for an affordable yet reliable door option.
Prior to choosing the size of your entry door, measure the width and height of your door frame. Then calculate its thickness in order to get a full set of measurements.
Painting an entry door can be completed whether it’s affixed to its hinges or not. Just make sure that you prime the metal surface beforehand for optimal results. To achieve a perfect finish, consider the season and weather conditions – too hot or cold temperatures will compromise your painting project! Fortunately, we offer several colors already pre-painted on our doors so you don’t have to worry about having to do it yourself.
If you want to regulate the amount of light that enters your home through an entry door, all you need to do is adjust the threshold. To lower it, simply turn each screw in a clockwise direction. Conversely, if you would like to raise the threshold on an entrance door, rotate each screw counterclockwise instead. In this way, it’s easy and fast to control how much light comes into your living space!
To keep your home insulated, weather stripping should be applied to the edges of your main entryway. Although some doors are already equipped with insulation features like wooden ones which expand or contract due to temperature changes, installing a strip around them can be tricky.

Our team of factory certified experts does the installations all of the hurricane impact windows.
Windows with hurricane impacts are crafted to withstand strong winds, driving rain and flying debris – thus reducing the risk of destruction. Investing in these windows is an ideal way to protect your home from severe weather.
Knowing if your windows are impact resistant may be a tricky task for the regular individual. Generally, you can tell from looking at the glass panes themselves as they’ll have warning signs visible. To verify further, inspect any labels on your windows to check whether it’s explicitly marked “impact resistant”. If present, then chances are that those specific windowpanes offer protection against severe impacts like hailstorms and other elements of nature.
Check the edges of your window for a permanent sign that indicates whether or not it is made from tempered glass. If you’re unsure about your current windows being hurricane-proof, reach out to West Bay Home Services in your area for their professional opinion!
