An entry door is the first impression of your home to guests and can set the stage for a welcoming entry to your home. But beyond looks, a new entry door can provide enhanced security and higher energy efficiency.
At Opal Enterprises, we have a wide selection of entry doors that you can choose from. Our team of Oak Park entry door installation professionals can help you choose the right door.
When Should You Replace Your Entry Door?
Determining when it’s time for an entry door replacement requires evaluating signs of wear and age. Some common signs that you should replace your door include:
Signs of Wear
One telltale sign is if you notice gaps around the doors or frames allowing in drafts. This could mean the unit has swollen or contracted over time. Faded or peeling paint on the exterior is another red flag.
Additional Signs for Replacement
If locks, handles, or associated hardware are not functioning properly, it may be time for replacement. It’s also a good idea to replace an entry door older than 15-20 years before repair costs outweigh a new installation.
Evaluating Full Condition
Evaluating the overall condition of your entry door frame is important as well when assessing replacement needs. Is the framing still structurally sound, or are there indicators like cracks, warping, or points of weakness? A damaged frame may prevent a new door from fitting or functioning optimally, even if the door itself seems alright.

What Are the Benefits of an Entry Door Replacement?
Replacing an aging or damaged entry door provides key upgrades and advantages. Our entry door installation professionals in Oak Park can tell you more about the following benefits:
Improved Security and Performance
Replacing an aging entry door with a new model significantly upgrades both its functionality and curb appeal. Stronger materials like heavy-gauge steel and fiberglass provide enhanced resistance to kicks, lock picking, and other attempted means of forced entry.
Updated locking systems with deadbolts featuring reinforced strike plates and anti-sawing features add an extra layer of protection. Motion-activated lighting can also help deter unwanted visitors. Together, these security enhancements provide homeowners greater peace of mind.
Long-Lasting Quality and Value
Investing in a high-quality entry door from a top manufacturer like Kolbe or Andersen means enjoying your new door’s beauty and dependability for many years to come with minimal upkeep. Our team has a partnership with these companies, so we can get you the door you need for your budget. Their doors are crafted from premium composites and come pre-finished, so no exterior painting is required.
Backed by strong warranties, you can feel confident your door investment is protected. Energy-efficient options featuring thermal breaks, insulated glass, and tight seals will also help moderate interior temperatures and reduce year-round energy costs.
Personalized Curb Appeal
Customizing your new entry door allows you to select the exact style, color, glazing options, and other design elements to create a look that seamlessly enhances your home’s architectural aesthetics. With a coordinating door style and exterior finish color, the entrance will tie the overall facade together beautifully.
Rather than spending money every few years on repairs like re-painting or replacing damaged hardware, investing in a high-quality replacement means enjoying long-lasting charm without further cost. Your curb appeal and home’s perceived value stay consistently elevated.
How Can You Customize Your New Entry Door?
Opal Enterprises offers a wide range of options to design the entryway that perfectly suits your tastes and needs. You can choose from:
Style and Material Options
We provide a large selection of entry door styles and materials to choose from so you can find the perfect fit. Style-wise, popular choices include elegant single doors, stately double doors, or practical sliding patio styles.
We also offer classic swing and trendy half-light French styles. Door materials range from durable steel, low-maintenance vinyl, and fiberglass. Each offers unique energy efficiency and durability benefits to meet your specific needs.
Door Customizations
Further, you can customize your new door within the selected style category. Possibilities abound, from the traditional single-panel look to the charming appeal of multi-pane configurations.
We have doors with rectangular panes, arched tops, or unique multi-shape designs. An extensive color palette matches any exterior, from warm earth tones to crisp whites. Interior wood grain patterns are also customizable.
Hardware Upgrades
The perfect hardware is the final, distinctive touch. Beyond essentials like deadbolts and knobs, consider architectural knockers, peepholes, or mail slots.
Lever handles and elegantly curved rosettes provide modern sophistication. Mixed metals like matte black with polished nickel create contrast.
If you prefer a traditional style, oil-rubbed bronze finish handle sets enhance the natural wood grain. Every detail combines for a stylish door customized down to the very last accessorized touch.
