  • Hinged single door: This is the most common type of door. It needs a little bit more space to swing, so keep this in mind before installing one.
  • Panel door: This classic style can be highly decorative and is often used in traditional and modern settings.
  • Flush door: This type of door is a simple flat slab. It is the least expensive of the choices and usually blends with the wall.
  • French doors: These are elegant and require a wide doorway opening. They usually have glass panels which can be stained or art glass.
  • Pocket doors: If space is an issue, this type of door allows you privacy (or openness) without needing clearance for a door to swing. They simply slide into the wall when completely opened.
  • Bypass doors: They are generally flush doors that operate like sliding patio doors. They are much lighter than sliding doors.
  • Entry doors: These are usually very solid and far more expensive than any other door in the house. They can be made of wood, metal, or fiberglass and are available in a wide range of styles.
  • Storm door: This is usually installed before the entry door to enhance security and protection. They are available in many different styles and colors.
  • Patio sliding doors: They are typically made of large panes of glass encased in wood, vinyl, or metal frames. Patio sliding doors allow natural light to enter your home and provide the best view of your lawn or garden inside the house.
