Last week, I needed two 3' 2 panel doors for an ADA retrofit. The
doors had to match the existing doors in the home. I was at Home
Depot, so I asked about 2 panel doors. Special order for a 2 panel
interior prehung door unit. How long? 4 weeks. I said no thanks.
Standing right there at the door counter, I called my door mill
(Cen-Tex door and frame in Austin, TX) ordered the doors over the
phone. Picked them up that afternoon for $30.00 LESS per door than
Home Depot.


Yep, stuff like that the Borg is rarely, if ever, a good choice of
vendor.

(Assuming, of course, you're in a place large enough to have a good mill
shop or other supplier who works closely w/ a mill...of course, you're
probably still better off find a mill or other supplier, anyway.)
