New front door

The house is two story and the front porch which is quite large in area is resessed in from the front of the house.

It's 1972 and the builders (AV Jennings) decided that a normal internal door would be fine for the front door since it was out of the weather.

Finally we decided its time for a new front door, it's quite wide the width measures xxx.

This is going to be a problem, most of the doors on the the floor are 820mm - bugger.

We went all over the place and quotes ranged up to $1,250 made, installed and painted - to much.

So...I took measurements and we ordered a bare composite door with two glass panes for $395 from Doors Plus.

The lock hardware cost $40 on special and paint was $50. All up about $500 bucks - not bad.

When the guy delivered the door he gave us a set of nice hinges for free - thanks.
