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...

Call me denser ... 7-10 days to refinish a door??

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

Of course you would not consider backlog...
