For a residential exterior steel door, match the door’s size, handing, swing, and configuration to the existing opening before choosing a style. The VDOMDOORS prehung models suit homeowners looking for a front-entry door with a modern black finish and sidelites or a single-door design. The VIZ-PRO options are better suited to buyers prioritizing a security-door configuration, with the single-door model offering adjustable width and a stated 9- to 12-point locking system. Confirm measurements and installation requirements before ordering.

VDOMDOORS Deux 1105 With Two Sidelites
Best for: Homeowners who want a prehung front-entry unit with two sidelites. The listed configuration is 36 by 80 inches, left-hand inswing, with a black enamel finish, stainless inserts, and two 14-inch sidelites.
Choose this model if the opening and swing match its specifications and the extra side glass suits the entry design. The supplied listing does not include further installation or glazing details, so verify those requirements before purchase.
VDOMDOORS Deux 6500 With One Sidellite
Best for: Buyers who want a black, prehung steel entry door with one sidelite rather than a pair. Its listed size is 36 by 80 inches; the description specifies a 16-inch sidelite, stainless inserts, and left-hand orientation.
This is a better fit when one sidelite matches the available wall space and desired appearance. The listing name does not clearly state the swing direction, so confirm handing and inswing or outswing details before ordering.
VDOMDOORS Manux 8002 Single Door
Best for: Homeowners seeking a single, matte-black steel front door without listed sidelites. The product name specifies a 36-by-80-inch prehung unit with a right-hand inswing.
Choose this model if those dimensions and handing suit the entry and a simpler appearance is preferred. The supplied product information does not list additional hardware, insulation, or finish-care details, so check the full listing for specifications needed for the project.
VIZ-PRO Quick Mount Single Security Door
Best for: Buyers seeking a steel security-door system with an adjustable frame width. The stated wall-opening height is 83 1/2 inches, and the adjustable width is 39 9/16 to 41 7/8 inches. It includes a frame, stainless steel handles, hinges, and lock, plus a 9- to 12-point locking system and an anti-jemmy lip.
The door is right-hinged inward when viewed from outside. It must be installed with its frame, not as a slab alone. The six anchor bolts are not included, so buyers must obtain bolts suited to their wall type.
VIZ-PRO Quick Mount Double Security Door
Best for: Homes with a wide opening intended for a double-door security setup. The stated wall-opening height is 81 11/16 inches, with an adjustable width from 70 1/16 to 72 7/16 inches. The package includes a frame, stainless steel handles, hinges, and lock, with a 9- to 12-point locking system and an anti-jemmy lip.
The active leaf is on the right when viewed from outside and opens outward. This configuration is not a direct substitute for a standard 36-inch single entry door; measure the full opening and confirm outward-swing clearance before choosing it.
Buying Guide: How to Choose a Residential Exterior Steel Door
What should you measure before ordering?
Measure the existing frame or rough opening according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Compare opening height and width with the product’s stated dimensions, and account for the frame when the door is prehung. For adjustable-frame security doors, check the complete adjustment range rather than relying on the door slab width.
How do handing and swing affect the choice?
Handing describes the hinge side, and swing describes whether the door opens inward or outward. Listings may describe handing from the exterior viewpoint, so verify the reference point. A door with the wrong handing or swing may not fit the entry layout or available clearance.
Should you choose sidelites or a plain single door?
Sidelites add a glass-and-metal design element beside the door, but they require the appropriate opening width and configuration. Choose a model with one or two sidelites only if the wall opening supports that assembly. A single-door model is the more straightforward match for an opening designed without sidelites.
What is different about a security-door system?
The VIZ-PRO models are described as security doors and include multi-point locking features. Their frame dimensions and installation requirements differ from the listed 36-by-80-inch VDOMDOORS prehung entries. Check whether the product is intended to replace the main entry door or serve another role, and review required mounting hardware.
Which installation details should you confirm?
Check whether the package includes a frame, hardware, and anchors, and determine what tools or fasteners the wall material requires. The VIZ-PRO single-door listing specifically says anchor bolts are not included and requires frame installation. For any product, review full manufacturer instructions and confirm local installation requirements.
