Doors – Winston-Salem

Doors affect both how a home looks and how it functions every day. From front entry doors that create a first impression to interior doors that shape how a home flows, the right doors should reflect the character of the home while performing reliably over time.

At Southside Building Center, we supply interior and exterior doors for homeowners, contractors, and builders throughout Winston-Salem and the Triad. We also offer custom door preparation through our in-store door shop, allowing us to size, build, and configure doors to fit your specific opening before installation.

Whether you are replacing a single door, dealing with an opening that isn’t standard, or planning doors for a full project, we can help you choose the right setup and get it ready for installation.

Choosing the Right Door for Your Project

Every project is a little different. Some customers need a quick replacement, while others are selecting doors for a full renovation or new build.

Most decisions come down to:

• location of the door
• material and durability
• style and overall appearance
• hardware and security

We help walk through these factors so you can choose a door that fits both the space and how it will be used.

Interior Doors

Interior doors provide privacy, help control sound, and create consistency throughout the home.

We stock both slabs and prehung doors, giving you flexibility depending on your project.

Common interior styles include:

Panel Doors

Available in multiple configurations such as two-panel, three-panel, and six-panel designs.

Shaker Doors

Clean lines with minimal detail. A popular choice for modern and transitional homes.

Flush Doors

Smooth and simple. Often used in contemporary spaces or rental properties.

Interior doors can be installed as:

• slab doors
• pre-hung units

When openings are not standard, our door shop can prepare doors ahead of time so they fit properly and install more easily.

Exterior Doors

Exterior doors need to handle weather, provide security, and contribute to the overall look of the home.

Common materials include:

Fiberglass Doors

Durable, low maintenance, and available in a wide range of styles.

Steel Doors

Strong and secure. Often used for both main entries and secondary doors.

Classic appearance and often used in custom homes.

Wood Doors

A complete exterior door system includes:

• door slab
• frame and jamb
• threshold
• weather sealing
• hardware

Choosing the right combination improves both performance and curb appeal.

Storm Doors

Storm doors add an extra layer of protection while also improving ventilation and visibility.

We carry storm doors from Larson, a trusted name known for durability and ease of use.

Storm doors are commonly used to:

• protect entry doors from weather exposure
• improve airflow with screen options
• add insulation and energy efficiency
• extend the life of the primary door

Our team can help you select a storm door that complements your entry door and fits your opening correctly.

Door Styles and Design Options

Style plays a big role in how a home feels.

Popular options include:

• shaker style doors
• raised panel doors
• craftsman-style entry doors
• decorative glass inserts
• modern flush designs

Our showroom allows you to compare these options and see what works best for your space.

Door Hardware and Security

Hardware is where function and feel come together.

We carry options across multiple levels so you can match performance, appearance, and budget.

Options include:

• handlesets and entry hardware
• keyed entry knobs and levers
• privacy lock
• passage hardware
• deadbolts and security upgrades

Customers can compare hardware in person and feel the difference in weight, finish, and operation.

Door Shop Services

This is where we operate differently from most suppliers.

Our in-store door shop allows us to prepare doors before they ever leave the store. Instead of trying to make a standard door work on site, we build the door to match the opening.

Door shop services include:

• building pre-hung units from slabs and jambs
• custom jamb builds for non-standard wall thickness
• resizing doors to fit existing openings
• converting slabs into prehung units
• prepping doors for hardware
• inserting glass into door slabs

This preparation helps installers save time and reduces problems during installation.

Replacing Doors in Older Homes

Older homes often come with challenges that are not obvious until installation begins.

Common issues include:

• non-standard openings
• varying wall thickness
• floors that have shifted over time
• frames that are slightly out of square

Instead of forcing a standard door to fit, we prepare the door to match the opening.

This approach leads to cleaner installs and better long-term performance.

Door Installation

A well-installed door should open smoothly, seal properly, and hold up over time.

We can help coordinate installation and work with installers who are familiar with the products we supply.

Installation services include:

• interior door installation
• exterior entry door installatio
• replacement doors
• installation of pre-hung units
• installation of doors prepared in our shop

Because doors are prepared ahead of time, installation is often faster and more predictable.

Doors for Homes in the Triad

Homes in Winston-Salem and the surrounding area range from older properties to new construction.

Because of that, door selection often needs to balance style with durability.

Common choices include:

• fiberglass entry doors for durability
• shaker-style interior doors for modern homes
• traditional panel doors for classic designs
• storm doors for added protection and airflow

We help match door systems to both the home and the environment.
