Ok, after reading about all the goodness of fiberglass doors and how
they do not dent or warp, I bought a set of double doors. During our
first winter, one of the doors warped - the top edge bends inwards
leaving a gap for the cold wind to blow in.


I want people to know that you will NOT get any support from a local
company called Classic Openings. The old man was convinced there was
something else wrong and was not helpful AT ALL. So I contacted Therma-
Tru directly. They sent a professional to check the door and
determined that it was indeed a defective door. 8 months later,
Thermo-Tru sends a replacement door -- to Classic Openings. These
people calls me up, tell me to take off my old door and go into the
store to swap out with the new one. They actually suggested I put up a
plastic cover. The original doors that I bought were delivered,
however for this replacement I need to do all the work.

Basically just want to let folks know:

1) fiberglass doors can warp
2) therma-tru was somewhat supportive
3) Classic Openings in Irving, TX has NO concept of customer
support. You are on your own.

Remove lockset, remove hinge pins and doors. Bring to dealer get new
doors and replace. No biggie.

sure if:

1) you had a truck
2) you some replacement door to cover the opening or some coverage
3) you can take the glass off and put on the new door without damage

The whole point is product support. I paid for the original doors,
paid for original delivery, why do I have to go through all this?

especially when I was mislead --- FIBERGLASS DOORS CAN WARP AND BOW.

The whole point is NOT how am I going to resolve this issue.

It is to let people know fiberglass doors can warp despite all you
read and hear from the salesman about how these doors are flawless. I
can't speak of other manufacturers, but I know Therma-Tru figerglass
doors can warp/bow. Also want to let folks know about the lack of
support from Classic Openings, IF they are in this local area and are
thinking of doing business with this company.

I have one Thermo-Tru fiberglass door. No warpage but the glass is leaking.
I plan to change it out to a Pella door when I put in a sunroom so I haven't
bothered complaining to Thermo=Tru.
