bungalow interior doors: all 5 panel or some 3 panel accent doors?
Comments (18)My door got trimmed a bit to fit and get rid of some dings so the hinge mortises got trimmed off. Procrastinator that I am, I never got around to putting the pull hardware on and just used the hole left from the knob. There was a recessed cup pull I had my eye on to use though. It would have completely taken care of my knob hole. It would depend on what type of knob and lock set was on your door. One edge on each door will probably never be seen anyway once the trim is on....See MoreSimonton Inovo 4 Panel Sliding Patio Door

Comments (9)Anderson rep was presenting the vinyl clad with engineering wood inside option. Not sure which specific line it is. She was from Renewal by Anderson. Any particular reasons why you suggest against Pella/Alside - is it the low-end /vinyl part or brands in general? Would the wood on inside of elevate not be susceptible to rot? also eventually i plan to replace windows and in my budget would very likely be vinyl, will they look really out of place with a wood (painted white) pine patio door? (i dont have windows in that same room, but would be in adjacent/other rooms. for reference i replaced interior doors last year with menards 6 panel wood painted white). lastly, any thoughts on Marvin essential series (vinyl), likely to be cheaper as well. sorry for all the follow-ups, there are so many options and not having enough expertise/experience/feedback on who to trust, getting very confusing. glad we have this site with experts like you guys contributing....See More10' multi-slide door with 3 panels?
Comments (23)Those prices seem kinda high to me (I'm in coastal Orange Co., so probably not much different than SF). Maybe it's that everything has skyrocketed in the last 2 years (and..."the supply chain"). But I presume you shopped around. I believe our Western Windows 16' span came in around $4K. Perhaps your window opening is taller than our 8'er, though?...See Morecalifornian
