Has anyone used or heard about the Therma-Tru entry door? The fiberglass door has R3 - R7 ratings and is supposedly pretty decent for a mass manufactured US door.

Therma True is the main exterior door sold around here. they're ok, but hardly close to airtight. you can improve the percpormance with their multi lock system, though.

They also lack a dual perimeter door seal. European passive house doors have dual or even triple door seals and pull tight when closed.

Are there any US door manufacturers that meet the performance numbers needed for passive house?
