Portage Ave entry door installation — sealed against the cold

A drafty front door leaks heat and comfort. We install insulated steel and fiberglass entry doors with a proper threshold seal so the cold stops at the door.

  • Every opening measured on-site
  • Full air-seal on every unit
  • Written frame + sealed-glass warranty
Windows Winnipeg — Entry Door Installation

Why it matters

Stop the threshold draft

Old entry doors leak air where you feel it most — right across the floor of the front hall — because the threshold seal, the sill sweep and the weatherstripping have all worn out, and a warped slab no longer pulls tight against the frame. A new insulated door with a foam-filled core, a fresh adjustable sill and a multi-point lock seals that threshold tight, so the cold stops at the door instead of pooling at your feet.

A new entry system does more than stop the draft: it tightens up security with a solid slab and modern locking, and it instantly lifts the curb appeal and first impression of the house.

Choose steel for the best value and security, or fiberglass for dent resistance, a real wood-grain look and stability that will not rust or warp through our freeze-thaw swings.

How it works

From free estimate to installed — in four simple steps

  1. Book the estimate

    Call, text or use the form. We book a free in-home visit — no obligation, no high-pressure sales table.

  2. On-site measure

    We measure every opening, check the frames and sills for rot or water damage, and walk through material, style and glass options in plain language.

  3. Written quote

    Line-item quote with the window line, glass package, U-factor, warranty and haul-away on one page. Financing attached when you want it.

  4. Install, cleanly

    Drop cloths, boot covers and a full air-seal on every unit. Old windows hauled away and a walkthrough of your new windows plus warranty registration.

What you get

Insulated, secure, sealed

We hang the door true — plumb, level and square — so it swings and latches cleanly, then seal and insulate the frame to the wall and fit fresh weatherstripping and a proper sill sweep so it closes airtight. A door that is not hung right will draft and bind no matter how good the slab is, so the install is where it is won.

The written quote covers the slab, the glass inserts, the hardware and the install, so you know exactly what is included, and the work is backed by warranty.

Common questions

Entry Door Installation questions answered

Steel versus fiberglass, threshold drafts and hardware.

Both insulate far better than an old wood or half-glass door, so it comes down to budget and looks. Steel is the budget-friendly, secure choice and holds paint well, though it can dent and show a scratch. Fiberglass costs more but resists dents, never rusts, and will not warp, swell or crack through our freeze-thaw swings — and it can be finished to mimic real wood grain. For a north- or west-facing entry that takes the wind, we usually lean fiberglass for the long-term stability, but we lay out both at the estimate.
Yes — a cold draft across the entry floor is almost always the threshold and the seals, not the wall, and a properly installed new door fixes exactly that. A fresh adjustable sill, a new sweep at the bottom and full perimeter weatherstripping close the gaps an old door leaks at, and hanging the slab true means it pulls tight into the seal all the way around. We also insulate and seal the frame to the wall, which stops the hidden draft that comes around the frame rather than through the door itself.
Yes — fitting the lockset is part of the install, and we set secure multi-point or deadbolt hardware so the door locks up solid, not just at a single point. Multi-point locking pulls the slab tight into the frame at the top, middle and bottom, which improves both security and the weather seal. We can match the finish to your other hardware, set up the door for a smart lock if you want one, and make sure the strike plates are anchored properly. You get a door that latches cleanly and locks securely from day one.
Yes — decorative glass inserts, sidelights and transoms are all options; we spec tempered safety glass where code requires it and factor it into the quote.
Yes — removal and haul-away of the old door and frame is included, and we leave the entry clean and finished.

Steel door with a multi-point lock. Secure, warm and it lifted the whole front of the house. Quote matched the invoice.

Hung dead true so it swings and latches perfectly, with a proper new sill. No more draft at the threshold.
