A home’s doors do more than provide entry- they play a critical role in energy efficiency, security and overall comfort. In this Harrisburg project, both the front and back doors were falling short in all three areas.
Before: Old Doors with Air Leaks and Lack of Security
The existing doors were outdated and inefficient, allowing significant air leakage throughout the home. Drafts were noticeable, energy bills were higher than they should be and maintaining a consistent indoor temperature was a constant challenge.
Even more concerning, the front door was hollow. That meant minimal insulation and very little in terms of real protection that a front door should provide your home. Over time, issues like these don’t just affect comfort, they impact peace of mind, too
After: High-Performance Steel Door Upgrade
To resolve these issues, both the front and back doors were replaced with ProVia Legacy Series steel doors.
This upgrade immediately improved the home’s thermal performance (no more cold drafts in winter and hot air in summer issues) and structural integrity. Unlike hollow-core doors, steel doors provide a solid barrier against outdoor conditions while significantly enhancing security.
The Legacy Series is built for long-term performance, combining energy efficiency with durability. They are built with 20-gauge steel, so Legacy entry doors have 49% more galvannealed steel than 24-gauge doors, making them far superior in strength and rigidity than other steel security doors. Most styles of these doors meet ENERGY STAR® certification criteria with the addition of their insulating foam, which is why our team of exterior door pros recommends them!
Built for Long-Term Confidence
One of the standout features of this upgrade is the Lifetime Transferable Warranty. That kind of coverage speaks to the quality of the product and gives the homeowner added confidence that their investment is protected for years to come.
Beyond performance, these doors also deliver a more substantial, finished look something you can feel the moment you open your new door.
A Beautiful Safe and Secure Home
This Harrisburg home went from dealing with constant drafts and security concerns to having strong, energy-efficient entry points that perform in every season.
The difference is immediate: improved comfort, better efficiency and doors that provide real protection instead of acting as a weak point. Plus? The incredible curb appeal of these doors made for very happy homeowners.
