Interior door Recommendations
Comments (1)We replaced our cheap, hollow core, flat builder doors with solid core colonial style doors from Lowes--all prehung and come primed ready to paint. Special order for size...I think they ran around $125-150. They are fine... not top quality...but a big improvement from what we had and we didn't want to invest a lot since we will probably sell in a few years. The most noticeable part that isnt that nice is the trim...but we got plain, flat trim so we were able to spackle any dents, etc. before painting. If you plan to be in your house for awhile, I would go with the best door you can afford. Just for comparison, go to a Window/Door place where they probably have the better brands and you can see the differences between the top brands and the Lowes/HD brands....See MoreRecommend wood interior closet bypass doors?
Comments (8)After a bit of research and considering replacing a few other doors on the same floor , I've decided to look for solid wood, 5-panel, to stain (not paint). I like the frosted panels on the 72" width (2x 36" bypass doors for the closet), and all wood (including panels) for 3 other doors, would also be 5-panel (also solid wood doors, stained same as closet door), 1 x (30"x"80), 2 x (36"x"80). For closet w/ frosted panels I was quoted Hemlock wood for $399 (for each 36" wide door) and Mahogany for $299 each. For Hemlock all wood (including panels), price was $169 and White Oak $259. Do these prices seem reasonable? Any advantage other than looks for the 2 types of wood, for instance, weight, susceptibility to warping, etc ? All doors are 1 3/8" width which seems standard. I am a bit concerned about how heavy they might be, especially for sliding and being quiet, but I imagine that might more depend on the hardware quality. Not crazy about the barn door look myself but thanks for the feedback. Thanks!...See MoreBlack door levers on interior doors painted SW Iron Ore?? (pictures)

Comments (9)Youve probably already replaced the doors by now but for others who read this post I wanted to show an idea for keeping the old slab doors but updating them. There was a pin for a Home Depot blog post entitled “DIY Mid-Century Door Makeover”. I’m including the before and after pics. They showed detailed instructions and photos of the how to....See Moreklem1
