Exterior doors are the focal point of any home, and it’s typically the first thing neighbors and guests will notice. While the overall appearance of a front door is a critical factor for many homeowners, what’s more important is the security it adds to your home. Steel doors are some of the strongest, longest-lasting products on the market. New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc. serves Northern New Jersey and the surrounding areas, providing residents with quality, high-end front entrances and other products.

How Our Steel Doors Are Created
Steel exterior doors provide homeowners with a durable entrance that’s built to last. What makes steel doors effective is how they are constructed. Our products are crafted through the following process:
- With an emphasis on heavy-duty materials, our doors begin with 16 gauge, hot-rolled metal that’s steel-cut to the precise length for assembly.
- Our doors are elegantly crafted to feature beautiful designs through punching, drilling, rolling, and twisting processes.
- To increase stability and strength, all corners and steel joints are then welded at over 1,000°F to create a solid piece of metal.
- Next, joints are ground down by hand, using three different abrasion levels, until they are smooth to the touch.
- Before our doors are finished, they undergo a five-stage wash system where they are degreased and rinsed.
- Every steal exterior door is applied with an electric ground to hold the polyester powder coating before entering the oven.
- Once in the oven, the door is heated to 425°F for 25 minutes, allowing the powder coating to fuse onto the metal surface.
- The void in the door slab is then filled with an expanding insulating foam, to ensure energy efficiency for the final product.
- Doors then begin to be assembled. They’re outfitted with custom hardware, glass, screen, and framing. They also are thoroughly inspected for quality insurance.
- After each door has passed final inspections, they are securely wrapped and loaded for delivery.
- Finally, doors are installed and put on display for everyone to admire their beautiful craftsmanship.
Added Safety Features
Steel doors need to have top-tier safety features to provide home security. All our steel exterior doors from New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc. come standard with the following:

- Superior hinge design: The three hinges are made with 7-inch forged steel and non-removable screws.
- Powder-coat finish: Designed to outperform standard liquid paint, the powder coating guards against fading, cracking, chipping, and corrosion in the elements.
- Brass strike plate: A factory-mounted brass strike plate integrated with a steel dust box provides enhanced strength.
- Heavy-duty locking system: Available in polished brass, antique brass, and brushed chrome, the locking system features a strong deadbolt with a 1-inch throw.
- Vault pins: Located behind the top and bottom hinges, these vault pins are installed to provide additional security.
