Searching for a door

[John Rumm]

A mate of mine needs to find a door to match this one:

know where we can buy something like it?

Needless to say the original maker no longer does that style...

Take an holiday in India and ship a container of made to spec. doors just like it?

That way he might get a return on his investment selling them off.

OTOH, he could always make one himself.

Although we live in a sophisticated part of the world, with 24/7 electricity supplied and unparalleled access to a variety of fairly cheap d-i-y machinery, there is no reason to believe that we can not make such things in this country.

Have you considered asking this question on a d-i-y newsgroup?

I had the external doors on my late parents' house made by a local cabinet maker, as the sizes were non-standard. I don't recall it being terribly expensive, but he did have about three months' work in hand, so it wasn't quick. The alternative is lots of router practice.

>>> Anyone know where we can buy something like it?

Making one would normally be the way to go (after all the mate who wants it is a professional joiner by trade), however the time scale, and other work that needs to be done on the place, dictate purchase of something ready made in this case.
