Your Door, Your Way
We don't pull our doors from a warehouse. Every single door is made-to-order, sized for an exact fit, in a style and finish of your choice. Whether you choose the durability of steel or the rich woodgrain of fibreglass, you can be sure to get a door custom-built to your exact requirements. Choose from our wide selection of door slabs, decorative glass inserts, hardware, and colours — the configurations are virtually endless! Here are just a few of the entry doors that we can manufacture and install for you:
Verdun Entry Door Features
Not all doors are made the same way.
The steel doors we manufacture are designed to withstand our harsh Northern climate better, while being super-durable, low-maintenance, and secure. They are built locally using top-quality, innovative components from leading Canadian suppliers.
Generic Steel Door
Basic exterior door made for an entry-level price point.
Our Steel Door System
Built for maximum durability, security, and energy efficiency.
The Devil is in the Details
The wrong component can wear and break your door prematurely. Our steel doors are crafted using the best parts available. Here some features that make our exterior doors exceptional:
Adjustable Self-Draining Door Sweep
Directs driving rain water to sill and eliminates leaks to the interior floor. Multiple fins with an interior compression bulb seal allow for movement while preventing drafts.
Warm-Edge Anodized Sill
Extruded PVC thermal break sill adapter eliminates interior condensation. Heavy-duty extruded aluminum sloping exterior sill plate with sill extensions directs rainwater away from the door with a slip resistant surface. Solid wood sub-sill provides a solid base to support weight. NAFS Approved.
Insulated Steel Door Slab
24-gauge galvanized steel panels separated with perimeter stiles and a 16-inch Iock block. Rust-resistant steel with added security against break-ins built into the hardware area. Insulated with CFC-free polyurethane foam insulation against extreme cold and hot weather conditions.
Waterproof Closed-Cell Foam Gasket
Applied between wood jamb and sill provides that extra seal to prevent water seepage and wood rot.
Finger-Jointed Wood Jambs
1-1/4” finger-jointed wood jambs to prevent warping. Assembled with 3” screws instead of staples for a more solid construction.
PVC-Wrapped Jambs
The wood jambs are wrapped in a waterproof vinyl cladding. Vinyl offers a final, maintenance-free finish that won’t weather or fade, and is easy to clean.
Magnetic and Compression Weather Stripping
Foam compression weather strip on hinge jamb. Magnetic weatherstrip on header and latch jambs. The magnet sticks to the steel door panel and compresses against foam to prevent drafts.
Choice of Weatherstrip Colour
We offer our weather strip in black or beige, to coordinate better with the door or cladding. Does not create eye sore of white on a colour door. Eliminates light at the bottom of the door caused by reflection of sunlight.
16” Security Plate
A 16-inch, 18-gauge thick steel plate is applied to the door jamb at the handle and lock location. Provides maximum security against break-ins.
Heavy-Duty Ball-Bearing Hinges
Heavy-gauge, ball-bearing hinges extruded in solid brass provide effortless swinging, with increased weight capacity for those very heavy glass options. Available in multiple finishes, to match the chosen hardware or the caming in the decorative glass insert.
Black Sill Crown & Sweep Cover (option)
Black sweep and sill crown go perfectly with painted doors.
Black Anodized Sill (option)
The all-black sill and crown adds an extra bit of elegance to your door system.
Get More Natural Light with Transoms and Sidelites
Transoms and sidelites are a great way to allow more natural light into the entrance of your home. Aside from being an aesthetic upgrade for your door system, they can enhance your view from the inside of your home and allow for additional natural light to pass into your front entrance.
Transom Options
Transoms are essentially fixed windows above your door. They allow natural light, making the interior brighter and more spacious. Doors with transoms can make a big statement from the street, and are a perfect fit for homes with high ceilings. Our door transoms are manufactured in any shape or style, to enhance your property style, whether it’s a heritage building, split-level bungalow, or a minimalist contemporary home.
We offer four different transom styles:
Rectangular Transom
Elliptical Transom
Half Moon Transom
Extended Arch Transom
Sidelite Options
Regardless of how you spell it, a sidelite or sidelight is exactly what it sounds like: glass flanking the door. Apart from allowing more light inside, sidelites can offer a better view outside. Depending on the door opening size or its style, they can be manufactured as a fixed door panel with a glass insert, or take the form of a corner-to-corner insulated glass unit with your choice of clear, textured, or decorative glass.
We offer three different sidelite styles:
Full Light Sidelite
¾ Light Sidelite
Half Light Sidelite

Energy-Efficient Exterior Doors
Our doors are built for a greener future. They are very energy efficient, to keep your home comfortable, lower your heating and cooling bills, and reduce your home’s carbon footprint.

Our doors are well insulated and airtight, so you can enjoy a more comfortable and great-looking home for decades down the road. We use superior weatherstripping that minimizes the risk of water infiltration.
