The door from the garage into the back yard, not used especially often, is
a
builder's special which after several decades has "seen better days", as
they
say. And the framing around it was hit by termites quite severely - I
think I
nuked them but the frame is heavily damaged.

After digesting everything I could read on the internet, I think I'd like
to
put a steel door there, but not the typical dents-easily 26 gauge guy; I'd
rather pay a few bucks more for a 20 gauge unit.

But I'm having trouble locating a source here in Southern California. I
read
a well-written recommendation for the products by a company called
Precision,
but they don't seem to have a presence out here.

Can anyone suggest a means of getting a decent non-ornate heavy steel
pre-hung
door around here, or brands that I might consider? This has been a
surprisingly futile search target.

Many retail stores have doors just like that for their behind-the-building
delivery entrances. When you called around to some builder's supply
companies to inquire about such doors, what did you find out?
