    Default Good place for a cheap metal door?

    So I think I have figured out my air conditioning vent issue. I now have a portable air conditioner, however I have two 32" by 96" french patio doors, which aren't vent-friendly. I am going to replace one door with a standard metal exterior/patio door, and then cut a hole in it to perfectly vent the A/C hose. Then when summer is over, I will put the old door back on. That seems to be the "cleanest" solution.

    Anyone on here sell or make doors? I need something like this:

    Just a standard metal panel door, 32X96", hinged. Bonus if you can cut a hole in it for me to match the A/C hose template.

    ^^^ thanks - I can't see any of their prices online for some reason.

    Don't I need it hinged though? Or is that super easy to do myself?

    I'd prefer to just pay someone to do it for me haha.

    That's the prehung price. You can get the loose doors for cheaper.

    Wish I could help! the slabs I sell are not "cheap" @ $200 each my cost.

    Most Home Depot, Lowes, etc. can get slab onlys for quite a bit under $100 each. Or even Tim's Reusables will have something kicking around on the cheap. Most of his stuff is "B-Grade" meaning lightly damaged, but still in good shape.

    Thanks anyways.

    I called Tim's and he only has them in 36 X 96 (I need 32")

    Looks like Home Depot might be the best option after all.

    How do I get the hinges on the door? That's why I'm thinking it might be easiest to pay someone to do it. Don't you need special tools for that? Or is that pre-done at the factory?

    Your price of $200 might not be bad if that is for 32X96. Do you have that size?

    Home Depot quoted me $335 for their cheapest possible, unfinished, unpainted, unhinged, exterior door. Plus 3 weeks to special order it in, because 96" height apparently isn't standard. Where are you guys seeing these things for $100?
