• Compare ratings for the actual door, frame and glazing configuration.
• Check consistent U-factor units and available air-leakage evidence.
• Review clear opening, latching, threshold and seal maintenance needs.
• Include flashing, wall connections, exposure requirements and finishing in the quote.
