Oh FFS, you're moaning about one hideous type of door installed by the
insane DIY fanatics of the 1970s only to consider replacing them with
hideous 1980s hardboard and paper crap.

Get some doors made by the local joiner, who can do a decent job. I've
had to replace an extremely non-standard door in a Georgian house and
I'm utterly grateful that we had the sense to get a proper one made
rather than to try and fit a recent pastiche.

Oh Steve - If only the world was as black and white as that!...

The old doors were literally hidious and brown and not at all in
keeping with the house. In an ideal world I'd have a joiner come round
and hand craft me some timber doors to original specs... And I'd
probably pay someone to hand build my kitchen, infact I'd have a local
"crafts person" in to do everything... I'm on your wavelength there!

Unfortunately money does come into the equation....and I cant justify
paying out that amount of money on doors, when I can get cheap ones at
a very small fraction of the price and be satisfied with the
result.... Perhaps then once day when money isnt quite as tight I can
consider the crafted option....

Well done for getting your door hand crafted! I'm glad you had the
money to do so.... Perhaps if you had a houseful of doors to replace
in a house that you were only looking to live in for 5 years or so you
wouldnt have gone to the trouble....Or mayb you would, but I have my
own opinions on that logic!
