ETO Doors Staff A dash of color...

Depending on where you live, you may or may not

be able to pull off a door like the one below. For one thing, it would

depend on how strict your home owner's association is. Some HOA want

all doors to be white or all doors to be brown. But, if you have a HOA

who is relaxed, or don't have one at all, then your door can probably

be however you like. Below, this door, is a great example of what a

little creativity can do for your entrance way.… Continue

ETO Doors Staff Decorative portal

Below is a picture of a really neat looking door

- though it is more of an entry way than a door. Still, it is kind of a

cool pic. Definitely goes to show you that you don't always have to

think of doors in the regular sense. They aren't always - forgive me -

an open and shut case. This may not be feasible for an entry way - as

it will surely let robbers, insects, cold air and, most unfortunately,

relative, enter without resistance. But, it is… Continue

ETO Doors Staff Artistic security

Your entry way can say a lot about you. It can

say that you care about security. It can say that you keep your windows

impeccably clean. It can even say that you haven't swept your porch

since the early 1980's. The point is that your entry way can say a lot,

so why not make it say what you want. With your entry way, you have a

ETO Doors Staff Discreet security

In this day and age, all of us can use a little

security, including in our home. Most of our houses have doors, or, at

least, I am hoping they do. Sometimes, these doors provide enough

security, other times, people feel more assured with an extra layer of

protection. When this happens, some people turn to things like alarms

or blood thirty (or at least yippy) guard dogs. Other people take the

more subtle route and install a security door. The… Continue

ETO Doors Staff Front Doors - How to Choose the Right One

When a person is choosing a brand new house or a brand new car, it’s fair to say they shop around. They look and flyers, they ask for advice, they study prices, they search the Internet, they make carefully thought out decisions. In other words, they take their time.



However, when it comes to purchasing front doors, the same dedication is usually not demonstrated. Front doors are simply more an impulse buy. Front doors might not be as flashy as a new BMW, or as roomy as that new… Continue
