If you have a “fake” entry door and you want to replace it, we can help.
A fake door (also sometimes called a false door) is typically paired with a real door to give the appearance of a double door, but actually only one of the doors is a working one. The fake door is there to be a decorative part of the opening.

Do you know the biggest complaint homeowners have with replacement door companies and other home services contractors?
It’s not delays or ordering mistakes, frustrating as those can sometimes be.
No, what really irritates homeowners is a failure to communicate about the status of the project. There is too much silence between signing your contract and installation day.
At Today’s Entry Doors of Orange County, crystal clear communication is our calling card. We have designed a professional process to communicate with you every step of the way.
Our process also eliminates many issues before they become problems. But if they do become problems, we’re 100% transparent with you about what happened and when it will be solved.
If you need to change something about your home, often the first instinct is to go to a home improvement big box store for the fix. It might be a coat of paint, a 2×4, shelves that you put together on your own, or even an entry door.

If you’re online shopping around for a new replacement entry door, or really diving into product research in general, we have one important question…
“Are you confused or overwhelmed yet?”
Today, it’s easier than ever to learn a new skill. Rather than paying hundreds of dollars and putting in hours upon hours taking a class, you can find tutorials on YouTube that can teach you anything from a new hairstyle to bushcraft to, yes, DIY door installations. And this can seem tempting if you’re intimidated by the cost of a replacement entry door. The theoretical appeal of a DIY entry door installation is that you’ll only have to pay for the cost of the door itself, not the installation. It can also seem like an exciting adventure if you’re interested in becoming handier.

Most door companies will sell a door and then refer you to an installer.
Hanging a door is not a simple task. You need a Good Entry Door Installer for that perfect installation.
We see this mistake over and over again: homeowners shopping for doors at big-box retailers or companies that treat doors as an afterthought. It is very limiting, and typically results in getting a door that is mediocre or disappointing.
Here’s why the results are “blah”: these companies don’t know what they don’t know. They limit you on door styles and customizations because their knowledge of what is truly available is only surface deep.
In some cases, it’s probably just disorganization. The truth is many home improvement “companies” are started by people who hope it will only take a truck, a mobile phone, and a business card to be successful. They’re not prepared, and it shows in their lack of follow through.
Other companies may not get back to you because their real interest is in selling much bigger jobs: replacement roofs, windows, or siding, etc. They don’t follow through if they have enough business with their more sizeable projects.
The #1 problem we see with door quotes from other companies is that they are too vague.
And when a quote is vague, it is hard to know what you’ll actually end up paying for a replacement door.
Here are some specific examples of the typical problems we’ve seen with other door quotes:
