Making it Work

m-door1The problem:  A storage room off a carport with doors to the back yard.  Sometime in the past a couple of interior luan doors had been cut down to fit the odd size opening.  Not surprising that some years later, those doors are rotten and the whole assembly is, to put it bluntly, a mess.

Ordering custom size, double hung doors from a factory is somewhere in the neighborhood of $800 – $1,000.  (Yea, check it out – you’ll be shocked!)

m-door3The solution:  Fabricating doors that match the exterior siding and then sizing them to fit the existing opening.

The final product:  Something that looks like it was designed this way!

m-door7This isn’t a quick and easy job:  18 hours of labor when it’s all installed and done.  But if you need something “different,”  this is the way to do it without breaking the bank.
