Steel Door Features

ENERGY STAR APPROVED

HOME GUARD entry doors* are Energy Star approved and meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and US Department of Energy

* Certain door styles do not qualify due to glass options.

INSULATED STEEL CONSTRUCTION

All doors feature steel edge construction and are fully insulated with an inner core of environmentally friendly polyurethane foam and offer a superior R-factor of 15.1 for the ultimate in energy conservation. Our steel doors are wood-free and will not swell, split, twist, warp or rot like other steel doors with wood rails and lock block.

WEATHER TIGHT

The door bottom weather-strip slides off and on for easy replacement and forms a weather-tight seal to the threshold. The result is a superior seal that keeps the inside in and the outside out.

ADDED SECURITY

Our exclusive steel “L” frame provides the next measure of security adding strength to your entrance. This crucial element is available on all HGI replacement doors and our adjustable strike plate makes installation easy on every door upgrade.

ENHANCED SECURITY

The unequaled security of steel - A wood edge steel door (left) cracked under the force of one hit of a 100 lb. test weight. Steel edge doors (right) did not force open after seven hits of a 100 lb. test weight.

LONG LASTING

HOME GUARD’s Exclusive Timberframe® all-composite frame offers all the beauty of wood with none of the headaches. Completely maintenance and worry free, the Timberframe® will not warp, rot, mold or wick water and can be stained to match all HGI door stains. Timberframe® is an option on most HOME GUARD doors.

ADJUSTABLE HINGE PLATE

HOME GUARD’s exclusive, patented Adjustable Hinge Plate System adjusts up or down and in or out for a tighter weatherseal against the elements and gives you increased energy savings. Also a standard feature on all Signature Series Fiberglass Doors.

TROUBLE FREE

Hardware finish matched Ball-Bearing Hinges are standard on all doors and offer the ultimate in smooth operation. Individual ball bearings ensure years of quiet, trouble-free use.

HIGH END WOOD FRAME

Duraframe Jambs are the standard wood frame on all HGI doors and are constructed using an Alaskan Cypress base which repels water preventing the wood from wicking and rotting.

COMPOSITE LOCK BLOCK

HGI’s full 4” X 10” Composite Lock Block has more screw holding power than wood. Injection molded for uniform size, there is no distortion of the door skin typically found with wood lock blocks.
