Doors
Entry, storm, and patio door installation with proper framing and weatherstripping for Oklahoma homes.
In Oklahoma, temperatures swing from single digits in January to over 100 degrees in August. An entry door that’s out of plumb, has failed weatherstripping, or sits in a rotted frame is losing conditioned air in both directions — and costing real money every month it stays that way.
Aero Precision installs entry doors, storm doors, and patio doors for homeowners across Cleveland, Tulsa, Stillwater, Bartlesville, and Ponca City. We handle the full scope: removing the old unit, inspecting and repairing the frame, and installing the new door so it operates correctly and seals the way it’s supposed to.
What Makes a Door Installation Last
Frame condition is the first thing we check. A door installed in a rotted or racked frame will be difficult to operate within a year, and no amount of weatherstripping adjustment will fix an opening that isn’t square. We replace damaged framing sections before installing any new door unit.
Threshold and weatherstripping selection matters in Oklahoma’s wind. The compression threshold and the seals along the door’s perimeter need to create continuous contact around the full frame. We use adjustable sill hardware that can be reset over time as the door settles.
Exterior trim and caulking at the brick molding or PVC casing is where water intrusion typically starts on older installations. We replace caulk and re-seal the perimeter at every installation — a small item with a disproportionate effect on long-term performance. Door replacement is naturally paired with replacement windows and new siding, since all three share the same flashing and casing details at the wall penetrations.
Steel, Fiberglass, or a Patio Door
- Steel entry doors — polyurethane foam core, dent-resistant, most cost-effective option for security and insulation
- Fiberglass entry doors — won’t dent, warp, or rust; holds stain and paint well; right for humid environments or homes near irrigation
- Storm doors — aluminum full-view or ventilating; adds a weather buffer that extends entry door weatherstripping life
- Insulated sliding or French patio doors — a significant upgrade from single-pane 1980s sliders, which have essentially no insulating value
For homeowners replacing older sliding glass doors, the improvement in air sealing and energy performance from a modern insulated patio door is substantial. For larger projects that combine new doors with structural changes — a garage conversion, screened porch, or room addition — we scope those through our construction services.
If you’re dealing with a door that sticks, drafts, or shows visible rot at the frame, get a free assessment. We’ll tell you whether repair is the right answer or whether a new unit makes more sense for the long run.
Our process
- 1
Opening inspection and measurement
We measure the rough opening, inspect the existing frame and threshold for rot or racking, and assess the exterior trim and weatherstripping condition.
- 2
Product selection
Door material, glass insert style, hardware finish, and paint or stain color selected. We confirm the handing (right- or left-swing) and swing direction.
- 3
Frame prep and door installation
Old door and frame removed where needed, framing repaired if damaged, new unit set plumb and level, weatherstripping and threshold installed.
- 4
Hardware, trim, and operation test
Lock set and deadbolt installed, interior and exterior trim finished, door operated through full open-close-lock cycle before sign-off.
Materials & options
Steel Entry Doors
Insulated steel doors with polyurethane foam cores. Dent-resistant, secure, and energy-efficient — the most practical choice for most Oklahoma exterior openings.
Fiberglass Entry Doors
Fiberglass doesn't dent, warp, or rust. Available in smooth or wood-grain finish, holds stain and paint well, and resists Oklahoma's temperature extremes.
Storm Doors
Full-view and ventilating aluminum storm doors that add a weather barrier in front of your entry door and extend its service life.
Sliding and French Patio Doors
Insulated glass patio doors in vinyl or aluminum frames. We replace old single-pane sliders that are a primary source of heat gain and air leakage in older Oklahoma homes.
