I haven’t seen or installed a exterior door with a flange. ---

Looks like they do make one. As long as you are putting it on a machine shed. ![Door 2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/4X/d/6/c/d6cc8de3a5aa46597b59f214ec9181cda03b7f51.jpeg) ![Door](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/4X/9/c/f/9cfc3764a10486fd74aa3f10aab5bb0b1ff86f19.jpeg) ---

> [@jspencer](#): > > Looks like they do make one. As long as you are putting it on a machine shed You know, as I think back building Habitat For Humanity homes, I believe I remember installing some exterior swing doors with flanges. There aren’t many out there that is for sure. ---

For the PNW, it is common place to have a header flange on an exterior door, even with an overhead porch. It is pretty much expected now with new builds on all doors and windows. ---

It been years since I’ve installed a residential exterior door, but I never have seen a pre-hung swing door with a flange on the jamb either. They were all just a door screwed to a jamb at the hinges and a brad nail or tape to hold it together on the latch side. Many had an incorporated threshold, but many did not. Those without a threshold were a PIA… Now I have installed vinyl framed sliders that did have flanges, however….. Then again, the times they are a changing…… 🤷‍♂️ ---

Yeah me neither. Like Larry said, sliding patio doors sure. Regular entry doors never. They usually have “brickmould” pre-installed, some with a gasket attached.
