Is Lowes or Home Depot better for doors?

Whether Lowes or Home Depot is better for doors depends on brand preference, display selection, and installation services, but both are comparable and offer similar quality and pricing for most door types. Home Depot is better if you prefer Masonite doors, as Home Depot is primary retailer for Masonite interior and exterior doors, offering large selection of Masonite molded interior doors, steel and fiberglass entry doors in stock and special order, with good displays. Home Depot also sells JELD-WEN and Therma-Tru doors via special order. Lowes is better if you prefer Pella, JELD-WEN, and Therma-Tru doors, as Lowes is primary retailer for Pella windows and also sells JELD-WEN and Therma-Tru doors, often with larger in-store displays of Therma-Tru fiberglass doors than Home Depot. Price wise, both Lowes and Home Depot offer similar pricing with promotions, 10 percent military discounts, and financing, so cost difference is minimal. Installation services at both are subcontracted, so installation quality varies by local contractor rather than store. Selection wise, both offer interior doors at 50 to 200 dollars and entry doors at 200 to 1,200 dollars. For interior doors, both are comparable with Masonite and JELD-WEN. For best expertise and customization, independent lumber yard or authorized dealer may be better than both big boxes. Overall, neither is definitively better, Home Depot is slightly better for Masonite, Lowes is slightly better for Therma-Tru and Pella.
