If it was my job I'd be trying to patch up the bottom of the right hand one just because of the modern alternatives potentially being such crappy wood.
Airhead-
I was planning on doing that, but honestly a good ⅓ of the bottom of the door is fucked.
It was just painted before we bought. Then our tentants smashed in the bottom and blamed it on the oddest break in ever (I assume in reality their son did it playing football or something).
The doors I'm looking at are made from 15mm "good quality European 5th Redwood". Although you've made me a bit nervous about what gets delivered. There's a bit of flex in the price, but as someone else is buying them for us as a gift I don't want to take the piss.

Cheers. Given LG and F&B's prices Zinzer looks like the way to go.
I guess follow-up vauge question is; is there anything I should know, that might not be obvious about fitting external doors.
If it makes a difference I want to reuse the latch from the door on the right and add one of those keypad locks to the one on the left.
My dad always goes on about the external. Screws on the left door, so I'm wondering about proper hinges. However, this is down an alley with very limited sun for most of the year, so Idk if the external hinges are more forgiving or something.
The right has to open out. But I could also make the left open in or out. I don't really care.
