Exterior doors in Tulsa
Every Door We Install for Homes
We are not tied to one manufacturer. Most of our doors come from Therma-Tru, ProVia and Masonite, and if you already have a door picked out, we install that one. This page covers doors for houses. Doors for offices, stores, churches and apartment buildings are a different product, covered on our commercial door installation page.
Most common
Entry door with sidelights or a transom
Narrow glass panels beside the door (sidelights) or a glass panel above it (a transom) bring daylight into an entry hall. They come as one unit with the door and its frame.
Sliding patio door
One glass panel slides past a fixed panel on rollers and a track. It needs no room to swing, so it fits a tight deck or a dining room where furniture sits close to the door.
French (hinged) patio door
Two hinged glass doors that swing open, or one active door beside a fixed panel. A wider, more traditional opening that needs clear floor space for the swing.
Full-view storm door
A second, outer door with one large glass panel that shows off the entry door behind it. The glass swaps for a screen when you want airflow.
Ventilating storm door
Glass and screen panels share the frame and slide up or down, so you can open it for air without swapping panels. The better choice on a hot, sunny entry.
Retractable-screen storm door
A full-glass look with a screen that rolls out of the frame when you want it and hides when you do not.
Options worth knowing
These are the choices that change how a door works, not just how it looks.
- Multipoint lock
- Locks the door at three points along its edge in place of one. On a pair of French doors, bolts also shoot into the head and the sill. Common on tall doors and French doors.
- Glass and Low-E
- Door glass is safety glass by code. On a half-glass or full-glass door facing west, a Low-E glass package keeps the afternoon sun from heating the room.
- Prehung or slab
- A prehung door comes already hung in a new frame with a new threshold. A slab is only the door. The table further down shows when each one makes sense.
- Your choice of brand
- Found a door you like? Bring us the brand and model. We will tell you honestly how it compares and install it the same way we install our own.
Entry, patio and storm door installers
Start With the Door You Are Thinking About
The walkthrough, the written quote and the warranty are the same for all three.
Front door
Replace the entry door
Drafty, sticking, rotted at the bottom of the frame, or just tired. We check whether the frame and threshold are sound, then talk through material, glass, sidelights and hardware. See our entry door guide.
- Fiberglass, steel or wood
- Sidelights and transoms
- Frame and threshold checked for rot
Back door
Replace the patio door
An old aluminum slider that sweats and sticks, or a swap from sliding to French. If your slider is only hard to open, clean the track and check the rollers first. Our sliding door guide shows the order.
- Sliding or French (hinged)
- Low-E glass for sunny exposures
- Threshold sealed to the floor and deck
Added protection
Add a storm door
A storm door shields an exposed entry door from wind-driven rain and hail and lets you use the front door for fresh air in spring and fall. It does not fix a bad entry door behind it. Read when a storm door is worth it.
- Full-view, ventilating or retractable screen
- Closer and wind chain set for wind
- Often added on the same visit as other door work
Door installation cost in Tulsa
What a New Exterior Door Costs
We publish our door price so you can budget before anyone comes to the house. Your written quote lists the door, the frame, the hardware and any repairs.
What moves the price
- Material. Fiberglass and wood cost more than steel.
- Size. A taller door or a double door is more door and more labor.
- Sidelights and transoms. Each glass panel adds cost.
- Glass. Decorative, Low-E and privacy glass packages add cost.
- Hardware. A multipoint lock or premium handle set costs more than a standard lockset.
- The opening. A rotted frame, a damaged subfloor under the threshold or an opening that is out of square takes more time to make right.
Prices current as of the date at the top of this page. Financing is available for qualifying projects.
Door replacement in Tulsa
A Door That Seals, Swings and Locks Again
People call us about a door for a handful of reasons. Most of them trace back to the same thing: an opening that moved, a frame that rotted, or a door that was never set square.
- Daylight or a draft around the edges of a closed front door A new door set plumb and square with fresh weatherstrip all the way around
- A deadbolt you have to lift or shove the door to throw A lock that lines up with its strike and turns with two fingers
- A soft, dark or crumbling bottom corner of the door frame Rot cut out and repaired before the new door goes in
- A sliding patio door that grinds, sticks or jumps the track A new patio door that rolls with one hand
- A storm door that slams in the wind or hangs open A storm door with a working closer and a wind chain set for Oklahoma gusts
Fiberglass vs steel vs wood entry doors
Choosing a Front Door Material
This is the biggest decision on an entry door. In Tulsa, the answer usually turns on one thing: how much sun and weather hits the door.
Fiberglass
Sun, heat and humidityTherma-Tru says its fiberglass doors will not dent, rot or rust and handle a wide range of temperatures
InsulationFoam core. Therma-Tru rates its fiberglass at R-7.7 vs R-1.2 for solid wood.
LooksSmooth to paint, or wood-grain to stain
UpkeepLow
PriceMiddle to upper
Best fit in TulsaMost entries, especially west- or south-facing doors in full sun
Steel
Sun, heat and humidityHolds up well when shaded. A dent or a scratch to bare metal can start rust.
InsulationFoam core on most insulated models
LooksSmooth, painted
UpkeepLow, touch up scratches
PriceLowest
Best fit in TulsaA north-facing door under a deep porch
Wood
Sun, heat and humidityMoves with humidity. An exposed wood door needs regular refinishing to avoid checking and cracking.
InsulationSolid wood rates about R-1.2, per Therma-Tru
LooksReal wood grain
UpkeepHighest
PriceHighest
Best fit in TulsaA historic home where nothing else will look right, with a porch to protect it
Energy numbers: ENERGY STAR's current door criteria call for a U-factor of 0.17 or lower on a solid (opaque) door, 0.23 or lower with an SHGC of 0.23 or lower on a door that is half glass or less, and 0.28 U-factor with 0.23 SHGC on a door more than half glass in the South-Central zone that covers Tulsa. More in our front door replacement guide.
Patio door replacement
Sliding or French: Which Patio Door Fits
Both are good doors when they are installed right. The choice comes down to floor space, how wide you want the opening, and how you will use it.
- How it opens
- One panel slides past a fixed panel
- One or two doors swing on hinges
- Room needed
- None. Nothing swings into the room or onto the deck.
- Clear floor or deck space for the swing, inside or outside
- Opening width
- About half the frame on a two-panel door, since one panel stays fixed
- The full width when both doors open
- Parts that wear
- Rollers, the bottom track and the interlock seal
- Hinges, the bottom sweep and the multipoint lock
- Screen
- A sliding screen panel
- A retractable or hinged screen
- Glass
- Safety glass by code
- Safety glass by code
- Price at Morgan Windows
- $2,500 to $4,000 installed
- $2,500 to $4,000 installed
Inswing or outswing is the big French door question in Oklahoma wind. See French door installation in Tulsa and sliding vs French patio doors. Large multi-slide doors cost more than this range.
Prehung vs slab door replacement
What Happens to the Frame and Threshold
Most door problems start in the frame, not the door. Which way we replace it depends on what we find when we check the jambs, the threshold and the floor under it.
- What comes out
- The old door, frame and threshold, down to the rough opening
- Only the old door. The frame, threshold and hinges stay.
- What goes in
- A new door already hung in a new frame with a new threshold and weatherstrip
- A new door fitted and drilled to the old frame
- Works when
- The frame is rotted, out of square or worn, or you want sidelights or a new size
- The frame is square, solid and sealing, and you only want a new look
- Weather seal
- All new: threshold, weatherstrip and sweep designed to work together
- Only as good as the old frame and threshold
- What we usually recommend
- Most exterior doors in Tulsa-area homes
- Rarely on an exterior door
On a prehung install we pull the old frame, cut out and repair any rot we find in the opening, and show it to you first. The new unit is set level, shimmed plumb and square to the door (not to a crooked opening), flashed, insulated and trimmed. Clay soil across the Tulsa metro moves door openings over the years, which is why we check square before anything goes in.
Entry door security and code
The Rules and Details Behind a Safe Door
Some of these come from the residential building code and some from police crime-prevention advice. All of them are worth asking about, whoever installs your door.
The strike plate is the weak point
Seattle Police note that most kicked-in doors fail at the strike plate, which is often screwed only into thin trim. Their advice: 3- to 4-inch screws through the strike plate into the wall stud, and at least one long screw in each hinge.
A deadbolt that reaches
A deadbolt bolt (its "throw") should extend at least 1 inch into the frame, per the same police guidance.
Lock grades
Residential deadbolts are graded under ANSI/BHMA A156.40, with separate A, B or C grades for security, durability and finish. A lock can earn a different grade in each one, so read all three.
Multipoint locks
On a single Therma-Tru door, a multipoint lock uses three tongues that engage the side jamb in place of one latch. On a pair of doors, it uses a center tongue plus bolts that shoot into the head jamb and the sill. Therma-Tru recommends one on 8-foot doors.
The main door must open without a key
Every house needs one side-hinged egress door at least 32 inches clear wide and 78 inches clear high, and it must open from inside without a key or special knowledge (IRC R311.2). A deadbolt that needs a key on the inside does not meet that on the main door.
Glass in and beside the door
Glass in a door is safety glass by code. So is glass within 24 inches of either side of the door with its bottom edge less than 60 inches above the floor, which covers most sidelights (IRC R308.4.1 and R308.4.2).
Landing and threshold height
There must be a landing at least 36 inches deep on each side of an exterior door. At the main egress door, the landing can sit no more than 1.5 inches below the top of the threshold, or up to 7.75 inches outside if the door does not swing over it. Storm and screen doors are allowed to swing over the landing (IRC R311.3).
Signs you need a new exterior door
Signs a Door Is Done
- Daylight or a draft you can feel around the edges of the closed door
- A door that sticks, drags on the threshold or will not latch without a push
- A deadbolt that will not line up with the strike, even after the hinges are tightened
- Soft, dark or crumbling wood at the bottom of the frame or under the threshold
- A steel door with dents or rust spots, or a wood door that is cracked or swollen
- A sliding door that still grinds after the track is cleaned and the rollers are checked
- Fog between the panes of the door glass or sidelights
- A storm door with a bent closer, a racked frame or glass that rattles

Door Installation reviews in Tulsa
What Our Customers Say
Door installation FAQ
What Tulsa Homeowners Ask Before They Replace a Door
How much does door installation cost in Tulsa?
Door installation in Tulsa costs $2,500 to $4,000 per entry or patio door installed with Morgan Windows. That covers the door, frame, threshold, hardware, flashing and insulation. Material, size, sidelights, glass and any rot in the opening decide where your door lands. Storm doors are a smaller job and are quoted in writing at the estimate.
How much does it cost to replace a sliding patio door?
Replacing a sliding patio door costs $2,500 to $4,000 installed with Morgan Windows, the same range as a French patio door. Large multi-slide doors cost more. If your slider is only hard to open, clean the track and check the rollers before you replace it.
How long does it take to install a front door?
Morgan Windows installs most front doors in a half day to a full day. Custom doors take about 2 to 4 weeks to arrive after you order, and a rotted frame or a door with sidelights can push install day toward the full day.
Is a fiberglass or steel front door better in Oklahoma?
Fiberglass is the better front door for most Oklahoma homes, especially entries that face west or south in full sun, and it is what Morgan Windows installs most. Steel costs less and is a fine choice on a shaded north-facing door under a deep porch, but a dent or scratch to bare metal can rust.
Should I buy a prehung door or just a new slab?
Buy a prehung door for almost every exterior door replacement, because it replaces the frame, threshold and weatherstrip along with the door. Morgan Windows uses a slab only when the existing frame is square, solid and sealing well. Most drafts and sticking come from the frame, which a slab does not fix.
Is a storm door worth it?
A storm door is worth it on an exposed entry door, an older door you want to protect, or when you want screened air through the front of the house, and Morgan Windows installs full-view, ventilating and retractable-screen models. On a deep covered porch or in front of a new fiberglass door, it adds little. On an unshaded west entry, choose a ventilating model so heat does not build up between the doors.
What door brands does Morgan Windows install?
Morgan Windows installs any door brand you choose. Most of our entry and patio doors come from Therma-Tru, ProVia and Masonite, and if you already have a door in mind, we install that one and explain how it compares.
Do sidelights next to a front door need tempered glass?
Usually yes: the residential code requires safety glass in sidelights within 24 inches of the door whose bottom edge is less than 60 inches above the floor, and Morgan Windows checks it on every quote. Glass in the door itself must be safety glass too.
What makes a front door more secure?
A front door is most secure with a deadbolt that throws at least 1 inch, a strike plate held with 3- to 4-inch screws into the wall stud, and a solid frame. Morgan Windows walks you through all three at the estimate, and they are worth asking any installer about. A multipoint lock adds two more locking points along the edge, and the BHMA security grade tells you how a deadbolt tested.
Can I get financing for a new door?
Yes. Morgan Windows offers financing through two lending partners for qualifying door projects, so you can replace a door now and pay over time. See the financing page or ask at your estimate.
