Default Re: hollow core exterior doors

not being from texas, i'm not sure if an insulated door is standard there or not. there are many foam filled metal doors that are quite light in weight that are made for exterior use.

how old is the door? has it delaminated or is it showing undue wear? an interior hollow core door would delaminate after exposure to a few rain storms. so if your door has been in place for a few years and is keeps out the weather, then perhaps a warning about security is in order. but then so would the glass window next to the door. it would be hard to stop speculating.
