An in stock entry door installed fast means the prehung door is on the shelf: a plain steel or fiberglass door in a common size. JMB Builders measures, picks it up and can often install it the same week. Glass, color or an odd size is custom ordered, lead time on the quote. One door is a welcome job across the Twin Cities metro, priced per door, frame included. Photo reply within one business day, or a free in-home estimate.
- In stock means on the shelf, often same week
- Custom ordered: lead time written on the quote
- Priced per door, prehung frame included
Speed on an entry door comes down to one thing: whether the door is in stock. Our supplier keeps common prehung doors on the shelf, mostly steel six-panel, nine-lite and half-lite doors and some smooth fiberglass, in standard sizes, both swings, primed white. If one of those fits your opening and your taste, there is no factory build. We measure, confirm the size and swing, pick it up and install it, and that can often land in the same week. Often, because it depends on the shelf that day and our schedule; we tell you the date once we have it.
Anything built for you is custom ordered: decorative or privacy glass, a factory color or stain, a wood grain fiberglass, a sidelite or transom, or a size between the stock sizes. Custom ordered doors take longer to arrive and the lead time is written on the quote. We do not promise a number of days on a custom order because the factory sets it.
A fast door still gets a real install. The opening is measured before pickup, the old door and frame come out, rot at the sill is cut out, a sill pan and flashing go in, and the new unit is set square, trimmed and fitted with your lockset. If the opening is boarded, it stays boarded until the door is in. New trim goes in primed; painting is quoted as a separate line, or paint it yourself.

How it is priced: per door
Quoted in writing from your photos, with a reply within one business day. What moves the number:
- In-stock steel or smooth fiberglass in white vs. custom ordered glass, color, sidelites or size
- Rot at the sill, jamb feet and subfloor once the old door is out
- Siding, stucco or brick around the opening
- Interior casing kept, matched or replaced
- Hardware: a basic lockset vs. a handleset or smart lock
- Boarding or securing an open door until the install if one is needed
Send the slab size and hinge side with your photos. That lets us check the shelf and tell you in the reply whether an in-stock door fits.
How long it takes
In stock: measured, picked up and often installed the same week, with the install itself about a day. Custom ordered: the factory lead time is written on the quote, then the same one-day install.

Situations and options
In stock: steel six-panel
The most common shelf door. Insulated steel, primed white, standard sizes in both swings, with a basic lockset or your hardware. Fastest path to a new entry door.
In stock: nine-lite or half-lite
Steel or smooth fiberglass with clear glass up top, also a shelf item in common sizes. Light into the entry without a custom glass order.
Custom ordered, worth the wait
Decorative glass, a color or stain, a sidelite or an odd size. Built to your order with the lead time on the quote before you sign.
In-Stock Entry Door, Installed This Week: questions, answered
How fast can an entry door be replaced?
If a plain steel or smooth fiberglass door in your size and swing is in stock at our supplier, JMB Builders can measure, pick it up and often install it the same week, depending on the shelf and our schedule. A custom ordered door takes longer and its lead time is written on the quote. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
What does in stock mean for an entry door?
It means the prehung door already exists on the shelf at our supplier in that size, swing and style, so there is no factory build. Steel six-panel, nine-lite and half-lite doors in standard sizes and primed white are the usual stock. Glass designs, colors, sidelites and odd sizes are custom ordered.
Can you promise the door will be in this week?
Not until we have checked the shelf and our schedule. What we promise is a reply within one business day to your photos. If an in-stock door fits, the quote gives you the install date; if it is custom ordered, the quote gives you the lead time. We do not guess at days.
Does a fast in-stock door come with the frame?
Yes. In-stock doors are prehung units with the frame, sill and weatherstrip, the same as a custom order. The price is per door with the frame included; rot repair and trim are their own lines.
What if my door is kicked in and open right now?
Board it, or we board it, so the house is closed and secure. Then the in-stock door goes in when it is scheduled and the board comes off that day. A split frame is replaced with the prehung unit, and damaged framing behind it is repaired as part of the job.
Can I paint an in-stock door a color?
Yes. In-stock doors come primed white and take paint. Painting is quoted as a separate line, or leave it primed and caulked and paint it yourself once the weather allows. A factory color is a custom order with the lead time on the quote.
