ProVia Legacy steel entry door replacement gets you a 20-gauge steel door, thicker than the 24-gauge skin on most steel doors, built to your opening. JMB Builders measures in person, orders the Legacy door, pulls the old door and frame, and sets the new unit on a sill pan across the Twin Cities metro and north to St. Cloud. Priced per door. Send photos for a reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
- Priced per door, Legacy door included
- 20-gauge steel skin, foam core
- Made to order after an in-person measure
Most steel entry doors use a 24-gauge skin. ProVia builds Legacy from 20-gauge galvannealed steel, which ProVia states is 49 percent more steel, and forms the face and the door edge from one continuous piece. That means a door that resists dents better and feels solid when it closes. Inside is a machine-filled polyurethane foam core, composite end caps and a composite lock block behind the lockset and deadbolt.
Legacy comes in woodgrain-textured or smooth steel, stained or painted, with ProVia's ComforTech glass in dual- or triple-pane packages, sidelites and transoms. ProVia states most Legacy styles meet ENERGY STAR criteria; a solid door is the surest way there, and glass changes it. Steel conducts cold, so on a north or west entry keep the glass small or order triple-pane in the lite.
ProVia is on ABC Supply's entry door list; we confirm the Legacy line with our ABC branch before the quote is final. On install day the old door and frame come out, rot at the sill is repaired, and the new unit is set plumb with long screws through the hinge side into the framing, foamed, sealed, trimmed and locked before we leave.

Legacy in a woodgrain texture with a ComforTech decorative or privacy lite. Order triple-pane in the glass on an entry that faces the wind.
Side or back door, solid
A solid smooth Legacy door painted to the trim color. The simplest way to get a heavy steel door with the best insulation the line offers.
Garage-to-house door
Steel is a common pick for the door between the garage and the house. We check what that door has to meet before the order and order to it.
ProVia Legacy Steel Entry Door Replacement — 20-Gauge, Installed: questions, answered
What gauge is a ProVia Legacy steel door?
ProVia builds Legacy from 20-gauge galvannealed steel. ProVia states that is 49 percent more steel than the 24-gauge skins on typical steel doors. The face and edge are one continuous piece of steel.
Is a 20-gauge steel door better than a 24-gauge door?
A 20-gauge skin is thicker, so it resists dents better and feels more solid when it closes. Insulation comes from the foam core and how well the door seals, not the steel itself. The rest depends on the frame and how the door is set and screwed to the framing.
Does a steel door get cold or frosty in a Minnesota winter?
Steel conducts cold more than fiberglass, so the glass and edges are where frost shows first. Legacy uses a foam core and composite end caps to break the cold path. Keep glass small on north and west entries, or order triple-pane in the lite, and make sure the weatherstrip and sweep are set to seal.
Can a ProVia Legacy door look like wood?
Yes. Legacy comes in a woodgrain-textured steel that can be stained, as well as smooth steel for paint. Up close it reads as textured steel rather than real wood; if the look matters most, a woodgrain fiberglass door is worth comparing.
Where do you get ProVia Legacy doors?
We order through ABC Supply, which lists ProVia among its entry door makers; we confirm the Legacy line with our ABC branch before the quote is final. We are an installer, not a ProVia dealer. If you bought a ProVia door yourself, we have a labor-only page for that.
How long does it take to replace a front door with a ProVia Legacy door?
The door is made to order, so lead time depends on the brand and is written on the quote. The install is about a day for one door in a sound opening, with the house locked up that night. Rot at the sill adds time and is quoted before it is done.
