It’s important to get the right entry doors, as they can affect everything from your home’s curb appeal and safety to its energy efficiency, but it can be difficult to make the right choice. Don’t worry, that’s something that we understand better than anyone. At Adkins & Sons, we have performed countless door replacements in Northville and the surrounding communities since we first started in 1979, and we know all the best options for anyone’s needs and budget.
Choose a Door
A door is chosen twice: once for where it goes and once for what it is made of. Start here, with the opening. Every one of these is custom built to your actual rough opening and backed by the same 15-year labor warranty.
The front door, with or without the narrow sidelites beside it. This is the one that sets the tone for the whole front of the house, and the one a stranger judges first. Fiberglass or steel, glass or solid, in a finish you pick rather than one the big-box store had in stock.
Two leaves that meet in the middle and open into a much wider opening than a single door can. Worth it when the entry is grand enough to carry it, or when furniture has to get through. Both leaves are hinged, so nothing is lost to a fixed panel.
One panel glides sideways past a fixed one. Nothing swings into the room or out onto the deck, which makes it the practical answer for a patio where a chair or a grill sits close to the wall. Big glass, small footprint.
A glass door on hinges next to a fixed glass panel. It swings clear like a real door, so the whole opening is usable, and it seals against the frame rather than riding in a track. Available with blinds sealed between the panes.
A painted aluminum door that hangs in front of the entry door and takes the weather so that door does not have to. Full-view models swap the glass for a screen when spring comes, so you can leave the front door open and still keep the bugs outside.
Compare Materials
Three materials, one crew. Every door is measured, installed, and warrantied the same way; the choice comes down to the look you want, the security you want, and how much upkeep you are willing to sign up for.
We do not publish a price for windows, doors, or siding, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house. Cost tracks the size of the openings, the materials you pick, and what the crew finds once the old units come out. What we promise is the full number in writing at the estimate, before anything is ordered, with no pressure to sign that day.
Flexible financing is available if you want it. You can also walk our 4,000 sq. ft. showroom in Southgate and operate full-size windows and doors yourself before you commit to anything.

Coupled with our expert installation service, this ensures the highest levels of protection.
The front door of your house takes the brunt of the damage during storms and other inclement weather, and even from animals, which is why you may want to add some additional protection. Storm doors can:
A storm door also lets you keep your entry door wide open during the warmer months to let in some extra light, monitor the driveway, or simply enjoy the view without letting in any bugs or animals, or worrying about the kids running outside.
To get the perfect blend of quality, ruggedness, and good looks, we source our doors from one of the most trustworthy names in the door industry, Fox Aluminum Products. These high-end doors come with several big safety features:
Apart from the super tough construction, these doors also feature classic styling and modern finishes that make them look incredible and help improve your home’s curb appeal.

What Sets Us Apart
When the company that sold you the job is not the company that installed it, a warranty call two years later turns into a search for whoever did the work. We do not work that way in Northville. Our own employees do the installation, never subcontractors, and the 15-year labor warranty comes from us, so there is one company to call.

Warranty
15
Years Warranty
Every installation is backed by our industry-leading 15-year labor warranty, on top of the manufacturer's coverage on the door itself. If the workmanship ever needs attention, one call and we make it right, at no cost to you.

2
Years Warranty
Most door companies stand behind their installation for only a year or two. Once that coverage runs out, drafts, leaks, and seal failures become the homeowner's problem to fix.
