You need home-security-doors-and-windows for securing your new home from intruders and the weather.

A firewall door is needed from the garage to the house. This firewall door provides a security for you in the event of a fire in the garage.

Usually people want solid wood or metal framed doors for their exterior doors.

The sooner you get your home-security-doors-and-windows installed, the sooner you can protect your housebuild from thieves. You'll want to get your doors ordered early so you can get them delivered to the house site at the same time as the windows are delivered. As you put in your windows and doors, your house is considered in "lock down" mode.

Your goal should be to get your house to lock down as quickly as possible. Materials need to be under lock and key so they don't “walk off”. Inevitably you will have some pilfering if tools and supplies are left out in the open during the night and the house is not locked up.

As an example: One couple's house had electric wire (copper is worth a bunch right now) plus lights, outlet boxes and switches all sitting in the unlocked house, waiting to be installed. They were not under lock and key and so in the night, a lot of the materials disappeared. That cost them hundreds of dollars.

The exterior doors need to secure your home and not be easily broken into. That is why people like metal or solid wood for their exterior doors.

By the way, it isn't good enough to install the garage door and keep appliances and materials out there, because thieves watch for open garage doors during the daytime, and will often back a truck up to the house and take what is available in the garage.
