I just installed a Anderson wooden door, and stained/poly'd it myself to go with everything else...seals like a vault, and I'm very pleased. On the HEAVY Anderson's, the handles are mounted so that it's simply a balancing act to get the base of the door in place via the handles, remove them and push the top in place (other doors I've installed have the handles on the top/bottom instead of the sides)...a PITA. I'm no bodybuilder, but my neighbor and I handled it OK with another "pro with back problems" supervising
