| The materials we use to make our doors. Here’s the difference when you cut through our door materials and cut through a competitior’s door.

There’s also the hinges we use. Our hinges are integral to our header. We don’t hang the entire door weight on your building header like others. Besides being stronger, our hinges save you from additional building cost! |
