D OOR SURROUNDS Keep as many of the original features as possible; removing original entryway features often throws the entire design out of balance. New details should be simple, and similar to the original features in proportion and dimension. Don’t block down a door opening to lower the height of a door, eliminate a transom, or conceal sidelights. Avoid stock lumberyard door frames—particularly replacement “Colonial” units, which are usually poor imitations of the original style and craftsmanship.

If a replacement is necessary, a new or salvaged door in the same style and size as the original is preferable. Although storm and screen doors are not subject to HDC review, the wrong choice can easily spoil an important entryway. Storm and screen doors should be as simple as possible and resemble the inner door in type, style, and location of solid panels. Paint storm and screen doors the same color as the main entry door.
