Blurb	Number 2 only behind the overkill strength Eurocraft door. After 20 years installing the other competing brands on this list, I first installed a Mr. Glass MG3000 model door. I put installed my door jamb level in all three dimensions and then tested the doors alignment. The door reveals where absolutely perfect and it met uniformly on the weatherstrip. I was amazed, in all my years installing other products I had never met 1 single door this architecturally sound. We had become accustomed to taking all doors out of level in order to get them to function correctly due to warpage of manufacture.	Notoriously Warped door, Not sufficient for a side garage door much less entry.	Not much better than the PGT-101.	Another middle of the road option, often warped from the manufacturer. Notably the Vertical locking option ids operated by the deadbolt only.	Ok for side garage, questionable on double doors or entry especially above 80” Height.	Slightly more expensive than MR. Glass, we charge $200 more per panel, This is the Strongest door on the list. The only door capable of utilizing 9/16 glass.A True 2 inch thick door gives very luxurious feel. Another bonus of this door is the option of a 1.25 inch tall threshold, the shortest on the list to help minimize tripping hazard so common in Impact doors.	Weakest option, but less warpage from manufacture. Thin skin slabs filled with Foam. Still very weather resistant especially with composite jamb. Comes Primer or Tan for stain so requires much more finish work.
