i have an exterior door 80 ins most are 78 ins where can i get one?

Answer 1

I'm not too clear if you mean the frame (ie, the hole into which the door itself fits) is designed for an 80" door that you don't have, or that you have an 80" door but it's too big for your frame and you want a 78" one.

Whichever, there are two answers here:

As you say, most doors are built to a standard 78" height, and pretty well everywhere that sells doors will have 78" ones. There are two ways you can get non-standard size doors: have a carpenter build one for you (expensive) or find one at a salvage or reclamation yard (addresses in Yellow Pages and your local paper, or even online). Large reclamation yards often have lots of old doors of all sizes and styles.

The other solution is to tackle the problem the other way round: if you can't find a door to fit your frame, change the frame to fit the door! If you can only find a door of an odd size at vast expense (if at all), you might find it cheaper and easier to replace the doorframe with one that will take a 78" door. What you spend on the new frame could well be less than what you would spend on having a new 80" door made.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Local DIY stores may be able to order, but thats not sure. Try a local wood merchant, also maybe Magnet Joinery. Be aware that if you use a wooden door, you will get draughts, caused by the heat inside, and the cold outside. The best draught excluders that I have found are of the rubber leaf type.....they work well. You could also try

Answer 3

If your question is where can you get a 78" door, unless the door is metal, usually I just cut two inches off the 80" door. Doors usually come 80" in height and cutting them to size is normal.

You would have to go to a proper builders merchants.I know Selco do them but you need a card as its trade only,unless you know someone with a card of course.Otherwise check the yellow pages or similar for door suppliers.Places like B and Q and Focus wont normally carry these sizes anymore as they arent very common anymore

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/N9D43
This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.

Answer 6

Home Depot or Lowes will special order one for you. Probably an extra $25-35.

Answer 7

im a wood technologist. basically its a suped up word for a carpenter with a degree. try your hand at making it your self if a local door company dosent carry one. if youre not able to make it, memphis tn is the home of Schaffer.actually it might be in cordova. they carry doors of all sizes.

Answer 8

MAGNET JOINERY,TRAVIS PERKINS, or any reputable builder's/joinery merchant should be able to supply you with a 80 ins high 32ins wide door

Answer 9

the easiest way round this is to add a 2ins piece of wood to the top of the door or if its upvc any manufacturer will make a one off for you

Answer 10

I agree with your first answer, if you don't want to do that, then you'll probably have to go to a hardware store such as Home Depot and special order one........best of luck.......
