When it comes to choosing a new front door, security is a top concern—and for good reason. Many homeowners assume steel is the gold standard for strength, but today’s solid wood doors can be just as secure, if not more so. At Nick’s Building Supply, we craft wood doors that combine unmatched beauty with serious strength and durability.

Understanding Door Security: Wood vs. Steel

Steel doors may sound tough, but not all steel doors are created equal. Many are made with thin outer layers and foam cores that can dent or warp over time. Solid wood doors, on the other hand, are constructed from dense, premium hardwoods that resist force and stand the test of time. The key is in the craftsmanship and materials—not just the label.

Built-In Strength with Solid Construction

Our solid wood doors are made from thick, durable slabs of high-quality wood, offering a natural resistance to impact. Unlike steel doors that may rely on internal frames and fillers, a true solid wood door has inherent structural integrity. Paired with high-quality locks and professional installation, it provides robust home protection.

Enhanced Security Features

We reinforce every door with heavy-duty hardware, solid core jambs, and advanced locking options. When properly installed, a wood door from Nick’s Building Supply provides excellent defense against forced entry. Plus, we offer customization options that allow you to increase security without compromising on style.

Strength Meets Style

One major advantage of wood is the ability to combine strength with beauty. Our handcrafted doors are not only secure—they’re also designed to elevate your home’s exterior. Choose from traditional, modern, or ornate designs to match your home’s architecture while enjoying the peace of mind that comes with solid construction.
