Legacy is ProVia's steel door line, built with 20-gauge galvannealed steel, which ProVia states has 49% more steel than the 24-gauge skins on typical doors. The extra steel means better dent resistance, a more solid feel and stronger security, and the door edge and face skin are one continuous piece of steel.
Inside, a polyurethane foam core is filled by a computer-driven process, a tab-and-slot design with composite end caps adds rigidity, and a composite lock block reinforces the lock and deadbolt area. Doors come in woodgrain-textured or smooth steel with stains and paint colors, and ProVia states most styles meet ENERGY STAR criteria.
Legacy suits front entries, side doors and garage-to-house doors, and anywhere durability leads the list. A full range of panel styles, ComforTech™ glass designs and finishes keeps it from looking utilitarian.

Insulation and energy performance in Minnesota
Steel conducts cold, so a steel door's insulation comes from the foam core and from how well the edges are broken and sealed; Legacy's foam-filled core and composite end caps do that work. For Minnesota, favor solid or small-lite designs, order ComforTech DLA-UV or triple-glazed glass in any lite, and consider a storm door on exposed west and north entries.

Ratings
ProVia states the insulating foam enables most Legacy styles to meet ENERGY STAR® certification criteria; solid (no-glass) doors are the surest path, and glass choice affects eligibility. Eligible models and U-factors are on ProVia's ENERGY STAR statements.
What the install adds
On install day we set the unit on a sloped sill pan, tape the flanges or brickmould to the housewrap with flashing tape, fill the rough-opening gap with low-expansion foam, and seal the interior with backer rod and sealant before trim goes on. The exterior joint gets backer rod and sealant too, so the rating on the label is what the wall actually gets.
