• does anyone have a hot tip for doors? i have this problem where our back door is 711mm wide which seems to be standard for internal doors only. the overall aperture means we can't widen even though there will be a new frame. Narrower is also out, its narrow enough as it is.

    all the shops I find seem to be either quite punchy or disconcertingly cheap

  • Depends what kind of door you're after.

    We have a tiny, very narrow non-standard door aperture into the small bog on the ground floor, and had to get a fully solid-core door blank and chop loads off the sides to make it fit.

  • i guess one that looks nice and won't be too easy to kick in. Although it'll also get a catflap so maybe security concerns are moot vs a determined cat burglar. I'm not sure whether it matters that all my OTP options are 'internal'. Like, I can just paint it loads or something for weather proofing right?
