Default Need to refinish a mahogany front entry door

Call me dense, but it's not really a temporary "door" if it's screwed to
the jamb, is it? I guess in order to get in and out of the house you
have to use an alternate door for that 7-10 days? Wouldn't it be
possible for them to hang a temporary door off the existing hinges along
with your handle and lock hardware so you could actually *use* the
thing, and so that you wouldn't have to repair any damage to the jamb
afterwords? Doesn't seem that difficult to me...

Not even the entry door to the Vatican would take that long. I think I
would look for another re-finisher.
