What's inside your mind part 29 (907)

Come on Tipp!!

What a lovely day, football, music, games ( board games lol)
Nice company,couldn't ask for more!! Slainte!

Question:

Need an external door with decent insulation, security and an aluminium threshold.

It's a single, small door (smaller than the standard size) and if possible, I don't want to pay through my nose for it.

Tried MJ and some of the Done Deal places selling new doors that were wrongly measured, no luck. Anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

start with giving the correct measurements...? and maybe a budget you had in mind? a particular style?

Hiya M, size is 191 x 80 cm for the door itself. Opening measured from the outside: 201 x 90.5 cm, on the inside 195 x 88 cm.

Got quotes of 800 Euro for the door (1200 Euro incl. installation) or more for a triple glazed door with aluminium threshold.

Someone on Done Deal offers doors between 50 to 600 Euros and gave an estimate of 250 Euro for someone locally installing them. Nothing around the size I'm looking for unfortunately.

As for the looks, 1350 Euro gets me a modern door with a single long glass panel and long handles, B&Q do these awful pvc doors with a round top and red flowers in the glass for around 400 Euro (standard size). I know I can't pick a look if I go for one of the wrongly measured doors (but I am willing to paint it if it's hideous).

Budget - hard to say, paid 700 Euro for a triple glazed patio door that is not a standard size either. Didn't plan to have to replace the back door already (which is the mainly used door as everyone parks in the yard), but it has a plastic frame (like a window) that is wrecked at the bottom and if it's raining and windy, I needed wellies coming in some nights.

hmm, 250 for installing a door?
Some door...
Why on earth am I unemployed?
I could be rich by now...
If it's not the actual door that is broken (and still is in acceptable condition) why not let someone make a new door frame ?
might be cheaper
thinking of it, by what you say its just the bottom so just a new door tread might do the job
piece of hardwood and a alu threshold draught excluder can't be that expensive
something like this:

If done properly it should give you no problem for atleast a decade and by then you saved up for the door you want

Thanks for thAT M, problem is then I'll have a frame that will break if someone steps on it again, or my brother takes off his head if the door is moved down (and a filler put in on top). Door not great altogether and I knew it would needed to be replaced at some stage.

Standard doors are cheaper, will check how much it would be if someone widens the opening a bit - and if it's possible. Not in a hurry but would be good to get it done before the winter.

Thanks for the link, will have a look at different options.

Jekyll & Hyde!!!!
