I was overall happy to purchase this door. I bought two in fact. The first one arrived and looked like it was shipped to someone else before and repackaged, wasn't happy. But, it wasn't damaged and only seemed to be missing 1 part. Once I had it installed / mounted it looked great. So I was fairly happy at that point.
The two drawbacks are: It shipped via a semi-truck which was very difficult to schedule do to the fact I work during the day - but the shipper tried very hard to meet me at a good time. This isn't a door I'd advise the novice weekend home owner to install - it took time and patience but was well worth it once installed correctly.
The door is sturdy and solid and provides excellent security especially when coupled by a double face key-set grade 2 security deadbolt - not that kind you can get at Home Depot (sorry but true - they don't stock the grade 2 commercial deadbolts). The door also comes with good sturdy glass. A burglar could break the glass but as long as you use a double face deadbolt it should deter most thieves from breaking in (and isn't that the reason your getting it anyway - bolstered security?). All and all I ordered the first one and was happy enough to order a second one - so that basically says it all, I was pleased despite my nit picking. Home Depot would be very smart if they allowed these type of things to be shipped directly to the store for customer pickup with say a non-refundable deposit for re-stocking - would have almost scored a 5 star if that were the case.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The product description was incomplete as I didn't realize it had glass. But turned out that it looked pretty good.

Employee showed me the cost of special ordering this security door, but ultimately I had to order it online. I had a friend help me install the metal door, as I had expected it to be a simpler process. Had to extend the frame of the wood door that the security door was covering, so it was a more complicated task than I had envisioned.
Yes, I recommend this product.

We purchase this door over two years ago. We didn't have any installation problems as we had it installed by the expert. Has added much security to my home. I will be purchasing another one for my back door! I would definitely recommend this door!

The prehung door was fairly simple to install and has calmed worries regarding security. The door contains enough steel to prevent easy entry to the premise without losing aesthetic appeal.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This seemed to be plenty solid enough, none of the bowing problems of cheaper ones.
I liked the added security cover for the lock side. It helps to secure the locks from a crow bar.
The only negatives were the closure and spring directions. They did not include the exact set up for the door I purchase, so I had to guess where to attach the closure to the storm door. Works okay though.
The spring hardware directions did not match the hardware included, and the suggested pilot bit sizes were too small. Using the small suggested bit size you will stripe the phillips head screws trying to get them in. I had to go up at least 3/64th in size.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 8 for Genesis 501 Series 32 in. x 80 in. Steel Black Prehung Security Door
Overall rating
great door but not reversible
,PostedDecember 19, 2011
tiredofhomedepot
The door looks great, but the problem I am having with this door is reversing the door from a left hand door to right hand door . To reverse this door requires you removing the hinges placing them on the opposite side. I finds this a problem since my door comes with glass inserts. Reversing this door requires drilling new holes for the glass inserts and hinges. This not a reversible door.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Great door, but VERY disappointed that no store carries this size, so I had to pay $55 to have it shipped. If I could have found it elsewhere, I would have.

I installed two of these for a friend after her house was broken into. The doors installed fairly easily and look really sharp on her home. She says she's sleeping better now with the security the doors added.

grisham security door
,PostedJune 30, 2010
Got one about 15 years ago. Had some problems with the handle coming off until I drilled it and put a pin in it. Many years later the bronze bushings in the hinge wore out and cost about $50 to order a new hinge. Overall I'm satisfied with it and will buy another one soon. I haven't seen much competition or many to choose from but this one is worth the price.
Yes, I recommend this product.
