ReliaBilt Door Installation — Lowe's Entry, Interior and Storm Doors

ReliaBilt is the door on the Lowe's rack in the size you need, today, at a price that makes the install the bigger question. We hang it right so the low price stays a good deal.

ReliaBilt door installation, labor only, across the Twin Cities metro: JMB Builders installs the ReliaBilt entry doors, interior prehungs, closet doors and storm doors you carry out of Lowe's. ReliaBilt is the Lowe's house brand; we are an independent installer, not tied to the store. Steel entry units go in on a sill pan and get sealed; interior prehungs are set with even reveals and cased; storm doors hang on the entry trim. Priced per door, quoted from photos.

Entry door of a single-story Twin Cities ranch home

ReliaBilt is what Lowe's puts its own name on: six-panel steel entry doors, molded hollow-core interior prehungs and slabs, bifold and bypass closet doors, storm doors, and a line of vinyl patio sliders and windows. It is stock, it is cheap, and it is in the store today in the common sizes. Homeowners across the Twin Cities buy it for rental turnovers, garage service doors, a whole floor of bedroom doors, and then need someone to hang it. We do that as a labor-only job. We are an independent installer, not a Lowe's installer and not a ReliaBilt program; the store sells it, we install it.

A stock door is not a worse door, but it is a door built to a price, and the install has to make up for it. A ReliaBilt steel entry unit wants a sill pan, foam, long hinge screws and a careful sill adjustment so the sweep seals; the thin steel skin will show any twist in the jamb. An interior prehung wants shims behind every hinge, not just the top one, and a strike set so the latch catches without slamming. A storm door wants a plumb hinge rail on solid trim. None of that is in the box.

Check three things on the label before you leave the store: handing, jamb width for your wall, and the rough-opening size. Send us a photo of the tag and a photo of your old door and we confirm all three, no charge.

What you supply

  • The ReliaBilt door from Lowe's: entry, interior, closet or storm, in the right size and handing
  • Knobs, levers, locksets and deadbolts; ReliaBilt entry and interior units do not include them
  • Closet door track and hardware if it did not ship in the box
  • Paint color for primed doors and new casing if we are painting; quoted as its own line

What JMB supplies

  • A read of the ReliaBilt tag against your opening before you buy, no charge
  • Removal and haul-away of the old door, jamb and casing
  • Sill pan, flashing tape, shims, long screws, low-expansion foam and sealant on entry doors
  • Casing in a standard profile or matched to the house on interior and entry doors
  • Storm door assembly, handing, rails cut to the opening, closer and handle set
  • Framing or rot repair at the opening when we find it, quoted first
  • Hardware installed and every door adjusted to latch
  • Photos of the finished doors in your job folder
  • Painting primed doors and casing as its own line on the quote

How it is priced: per door

Quoted in writing from your photos within one business day. What moves the number:

  • Door type: a steel entry unit with pan and flashing vs. an interior prehung vs. a storm door on the trim
  • Rot at the sill or jamb bottoms on exterior and garage service doors
  • Whether the opening matches the stock size or has to be reframed a little to fit it
  • Casing: reusing the old casing vs. new on both sides
  • Painting primed doors and trim, quoted as its own line
  • Number of doors in one trip; a rental turnover with six doors is priced far below six single visits

Send a photo of the ReliaBilt tag on each unit, a photo of each opening from both sides, and a tape across the old slab.

How long it takes

One ReliaBilt steel entry door: half a day. Interior prehungs: four to eight a day. A storm door: two to three hours. Mixed sets go faster per door.

How your project works

  2. 2

    Pick materials, or bring your own

    We help you choose profiles and materials that fit the house and the budget, or match your existing millwork exactly — or you buy the door or trim yourself and we install it. Everything is confirmed before the crew is scheduled.

  3. 3

    Clean, precise installation

    The crew shows up on time, protects floors and furniture, and installs with tight joints and consistent reveals. Photos of the finished work go in your job folder.

  4. 4

    Walkthrough and invoice

    We walk the finished work with you. If anything is not right, we fix it before we call the job done. Then one invoice, paid by check or direct deposit — no card fees, no payment links.

Situations and options

ReliaBilt steel entry doors

Six-panel and half-lite steel prehungs, the usual pick for a garage service door or a back door. Set on a sill pan, hinge jamb plumbed, long screws into the stud, foam, sealant, brickmould, lock hardware, casing inside.

ReliaBilt interior prehungs and slabs

Molded hollow-core doors in two-panel, six-panel and flat styles. Prehungs set with even reveals and cased; slabs mortised and bored to fit your old jambs. Whole-floor swaps are the common job.

ReliaBilt bifold and bypass closet doors

Track mounted level to the header, pivots and guides set, panels hung and adjusted so they meet in the middle and clear the carpet. Trim added when the old opening had none.

ReliaBilt storm doors

Assembled on site, handing set, hinge rail screwed plumb into solid trim, latch and top rails fitted, expander cut to the sill, closer and handle adjusted. Trim repair first if the old storm door pulled it apart.

ReliaBilt Door Installation — Lowe's Entry, Interior and Storm Doors: questions, answered

Who installs ReliaBilt doors from Lowe's?

JMB Builders installs ReliaBilt doors homeowners have bought at Lowe's, labor only, across the Twin Cities metro. We are an independent licensed Minnesota contractor, not part of the store's install program and not a dealer. Entry, interior, closet and storm doors: we check the tag against your opening, remove the old door, set the new one, seal it if it is exterior, hang your hardware and case it. Priced per door, quoted from photos within one business day.

Do you install ReliaBilt storm doors?

Yes. The ReliaBilt storm doors on the Lowe's rack assemble like any aluminum storm door: handing set at assembly, hinge rail mounted plumb on the entry door trim, latch and top rails fitted, bottom expander cut to the sill, then the closer and handle set so it latches without slamming. Two to three hours on a square opening. If the trim under the old storm door is rotted, we repair that first and quote it from your photos.

Is a ReliaBilt steel entry door installed differently than a fiberglass one?

The steps are the same: sill pan, plumb hinge jamb, long screws, foam, seal, hardware, casing. What changes is the care with the frame. A steel skin is thin, so a twisted jamb shows as a door that touches the weatherstrip on one corner and gaps at the other. We set the jamb straight, not just plumb, and check the seal all the way around before we case it. Steel also dents, so keep it in the wrap until we open it.

What comes in the box with a ReliaBilt prehung door?

An entry unit comes with the jamb, hinges, sill, weatherstrip and usually brickmould, but no lockset, deadbolt, sill pan, flashing, foam or interior casing. An interior prehung comes with the jamb and hinges and nothing else; no knob, no casing, sometimes no stop moulding. Closet doors come with the track and hardware on most kits. Buy the knobs and locks with the door so the finish matches and everything is on site install day; we bring the rest.

Can you install ReliaBilt bifold or bypass closet doors too?

Yes. Bifolds get a track screwed level into the header, pivot brackets at the floor and top, and the panels hung and adjusted so they fold flat and meet evenly. Bypass doors get a double track, the panels hung on rollers and a floor guide set so they do not swing. If the old opening was never trimmed, we case it at the same time. Closet doors are priced per opening like any other door.

How many ReliaBilt doors can you hang in one day?

Interior prehungs: four to eight, depending on how much casing and how square the openings are. Steel entry doors: about two, one in the morning and one after lunch. A storm door takes two to three hours. A rental turnover with a mix of a few interior doors, a back door and a storm door is usually one long day, and the per-door price on a set like that is well below one door on its own.
