I'll have to investigate that line because so far i was looking at
residential exterior door prices and it hurt to look


Even a regular basic residential steel entry door is like $120 (US) new,
but unfortunately it's wood framed. You want the commercial steel framed
ones so you can just cut a hole and weld it in place in the container.
With the way commercial office space is constantly remodeled and current
recycling efforts, there is a lot of used stuff available.


If there is one local to you..check out the store at Habitat for
Humanity. Some very good deals to be had on recycled
materials/supplies.

Gunner thanks for the tip..... Unfortunately the Habitat Re-Store had
nothing but wood doors and the salvage yard i found had only a few
steel doors and they were mainly steel framed GLASS doors. Mind you
they had some interesting unloved tools but thats a project for
another time
