Fiberglass vs. Steel Entry Doors for Sunny South OC
Fiberglass entry doors cost a bit more ($2,800–$7,000 installed) but resist dents, warping and sun damage and can look like real wood — ideal for South OC's sunny entries. Steel doors ($2,000–$4,500) are strong, secure and budget-friendly but can dent and get hot in direct sun.

|---|---|---|
| Installed cost | $2,800–$7,000 | $2,000–$4,500 |
| Dent resistance | Excellent | Fair |
