I have some knowledge of residential doors, but I'm completely lost on this one. I need to replace two exterior walk-in doors for my detached garage/shop. It has cement block walls and currently has hollow steel doors with steel frames. Both the doors and frames need replacement. Pre-hung doors seem to be a no-brainer. I don't need fire rated, ADA, etc., let's just say code is irrelevant (because it is). Trust me, what's on there now is far worse. But if the only thing I can get has some of those features, fine. Just trying to keep cost to a minimum.
What I need:
Door #1
36x80 RH Inswing
Other than a keyed entry locking handle and a keyed locking single-cylinder deadbolt, there are no louvers, glass, or frills of any kind. Just a basic smooth steel door. Seems easy.
Door #2
48x80 LH Inswing
Same as above. Obviously the weird size is the challenge.
Where on Earth can I find these doors for sale that will also sell to a residence AND install it? Or if that's a unicorn combination, who installs commercial doors that I bought elsewhere? I've looked online for probably 8 hours and I just come up with dead ends or insanely expensive prices ($1,000+) with $249 shipping tacked on. I know these won't be similar to residential doors on price, but over $1,000 per door seems insane without even factoring the install cost. I'm thinking $500-800 per door sounds reasonable plus install. No idea on install cost. Regardless, I'm not a cheapskate (except when it comes to motor oil), and want it done right the first time. I just don't have a clue.
Any and all leads & input are welcome and appreciated. Thanks!
