Notes:

  1. Because this door is fully glazed, it is difficult to compare with others.
  2. For a door of the same dimensions and with the same hardware system. Installation included. Manual operation. Price comparison may vary depending on the cost of the operator and accessories.
  3. Gauge: the term "ga." is a measure of the metal thickness. The lower the number, the thicker the metal.
