Interior doors

reilig

I'm toying with the idea of buying pre-finished, pre-hung, oak doors for the interior of my new build. Has anyone done this?

My brother-in-law is doing the carpentry work for me, and I thought that this would save him a lot of time if he only had to put the door frames into place.

So what I'm wondering is has anyone used companies like doorkits or doorsets to buy pre-hung doors? What was the cost like? Were they good quality? Anyone able to recommend a good supplier in the Midlands or North West?

Several years ago, we got 15 solid beech doors supply and fitted, custom made pre-hung pre finished etc etc and they were 1,270 euro a door before fitting.
The fitting was 127 euro a door extra so just dont get sidetracked on the fitting cost, the real cost will prolly be in the doors unless they are cveneered cardboard/mdf/etc

That's a lot of cash per door. I've seen oak door deals for €140 to €200 each and the frames for €50. Think i'll go with that so and let him hinge, hang and handle them. It will be cheaper in the long run.

I thought that pre hung doors would be pretty competative. Who would bither with them so.

There is a company in Athlone selling prehung solid doors and frames with Oak veneer for €134, handles are about €45 a pop

i have hung a load of prehung doors.

They are usaly made with cheap hardware. bad pin hinges or butt hinges so thin that they lossen out quickly and lock sets that never really work well

Hardware is the as important as quaility timber. Carol joinery sold us the best quality white oak soilid doors with Basta hardware. terrible result.


Ask for Union hardware. No. 1

They're in Ballydangan? Aren't they? That's more like the price I was looking at. Do you know what the quality of their doors is?
