The Hollow Core Doors have no reinforced center this door is not good for security purposes. Often the hollow core door would work well for interior use being okay for a closet door or bedroom door the price of a hollow core door is very cheap. It's less expensive then wood, steel or fiberglass.
The Solid Wood Doors there good for interior and exterior uses being heavier then hollow doors and more durable. But more expensive then a hollow core door.
Steel Doors there the best pertaining to security and being very resistant to fire and very great in handling all weather conditions most are chosen for exterior use from protection of intruders.
Fiberglass Doors are very durable doors and can be refinished easier than wood or steel doors. My personal opinion would be going with fiberglass door basically because there maintenance free with no rust, splits and cracking. So if you want a door that will last this is a great choice.
The Folding and Bi-Fold Doors are most often a good choice for using within your home design being great for closets. They are easy sliding doors and can be installed very easy.
Sliding Glass Doors and French doors are often very light and can be great for access to views. Most often this door is chosen for decks, patios, and backyard access they come adjustable meaning door can open up wider.
Storm and Screen Doors often are used for a secondary door and great for exterior use adding additional security. The storm and screen doors can help keep family safe plus great for weather.
Pre-Hung Doors they come from a factory with all hardware install hinges and fitted for the door fame. Often great for a non-handyman this is a simple ready to install process. Another benefit is if you work and don't have a lot of free time. A pre-hung door will save you time and effort. Another great reason is for woman that may not be that handy. You can install this pre-hung door all you have to do is install the frame and next you can hang the door making your job easy and complete.
With door installation you should be very careful about installing and doing it yourself. Often people attempt to install but fall short not installing door correctly. Most often the problems will be the door not sealing properly and door sticking. Often one big problem could be door leaking from the outside making the home not energy efficiency. My suggestion would be to contact a professional handyman helping you install door properly or just to have them explain the process.
