Door Axis 32 in x 80 in 6-Panel Steel Front Door Slab, Universal Reversible
Reviewed pricing, lead time, freight, and final configuration are confirmed during quote review before order release.
The Door Axis 6-Panel Steel Front Door Slab is a replacement-sized steel door supplied without frame or hinges, built to drop into an existing entry frame. It serves homeowners and property managers swapping a worn or damaged door while keeping the jambs, sill, and trim that are already square and sound.
The slab is formed from steel with a wood-edge engineered interlocking design and grooved stiles, around an energy-saving polyurethane foam core, with a reinforced lock area that gives hardware a solid mounting surface. Handing is universal: the slab reverses for left- or right-hand openings, and it arrives double bored for a lockset and deadbolt so standard residential hardware installs without a template. Actual dimensions run 31.75 x 79 in at the nominal 32 in size, sized to fit finished openings from 32 to 32-3/8 in wide and 80 to 81 in tall, with the smooth primed white face ready for paint.

- 6-panel steel slab, double bored for lockset and deadbolt
- Installation instructions
- No frame, hinges, sill, weatherstripping, or hardware included; existing frame components are reused
Installation Notes
- Measure the existing slab and the finished opening before ordering: the 32 in size fits openings 32 to 32-3/8 in wide by 80 to 81 in tall.
- Transfer hinge locations from the old slab or frame and mortise the hinge edge to match; the slab ships without hinge prep cuts sized to a specific frame.
- Confirm the existing lockset backset against the double bore before drilling anything.
- Check frame plumb and square first; a new slab will not fix a racked frame.
- Paint all six faces of the slab, including top and bottom edges, promptly to seal the steel and core.
Warranty and Support
- 5 year limited manufacturer-backed warranty, confirmed during quote review.
- Bore layout and edge prep guidance ship with the quote package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Slab or prehung, which do I need?
Choose this slab when your existing frame, sill, and trim are square and sound and only the door itself needs replacing. If the frame leaks, sags, or is rotted, a prehung unit is the better repair.
What does universal reversible mean?
The slab has no fixed handing: mortise the hinge edge on whichever side your frame requires and it hangs left- or right-hand.
Are the bores standard?
The slab is double bored for a residential lockset and deadbolt. Verify your existing hardware backset during quote review before drilling the strike side.
Why is the actual size smaller than 32 x 80?
Replacement slabs run 31.75 x 79 in actual so they clear the stops and sill of a finished 32 x 80 nominal opening with proper reveals.
