Published: April 30, 2021

When it comes to choosing a new back door for your home there is no shortage of options. However when it comes to choosing a new backdoor that fits your daily needs, style and on top of that offers your home the security it should can take a bit of time and research. Two of the most popular rear entry door styles are French doors and standard wooden entry doors.

French Doors

A set of French doors or even one French door can be a beautiful and practical choice for your back door if you are looking to let in light and enjoy a view of the outdoors from the comfort of your home. When considering French doors you need to take a few things into account, first and foremost you want to consider how you will lock the door or doors when closed, if you are installing 2 French doors that close in the middle you will want three points of locking on the doors (top, middle & bottom) so that the doors are secure. If you are only installing one French door your standard door lock will be sufficient. If you are looking to gain some privacy from your French doors you may consider installing some curtains or blinds that can be closed when you require a little more privacy.

Standard Doors

Maybe you are just in the market for a more functional back door that provides security but also still provides some elegance to the rear of your home. One of the most common types of rear entry doors is a standard wooden door with or without glass panes. These wooden exterior doors can usually bring more of a utilitarian use but they can also be customized to fit your style whether you are looking for a modern look or you are trying to continue the farmhouse look through your back door.
