We have decided on our exterior doors and are looking for bids on them. If you offer a similar door and would like to bid on it, please use the contact form or comment below.
I’m not particularly conversant on door construction, but hopefully this information is helpful. I have not found an image that shows precisely what we are looking for. If I do, I will link to it.

I really like the doors you show. When you get the bids, please share the prices. The house we bought has the ugliest front door and it would be great to get one like these.
What hardware are you using on the doors?
what size jambs? paint grade or stain grade?
your average steel door is around 139 your office door will be around 1,000 and the front will be around 1500, get me some info for exact prices.
Hello, clint. Thanks for responding. Don’t quite understand your questions
What size jambs? Are you asking about the door opening? If so, I don’t know exactly. The house plans are here, but we’d have to go measure to get exact opening size. I can do that, but I think they are standard size for those size doors. The sizes were originally specified by a door manufacturer.
The two front doors will be stained, so I assume you would put stained jambs with those. We just want white metal doors, so those jambs would be painted white, I think?
Figured out what you are talking about and upgraded the post above. Jamb specification is with 10-3/4″.
For those of you as clueless as I am, it’s the depth of the wall where the door will be placed. We have deep walls due to the concrete panels.
I really like the doors with the windows at the top. It’s a nice touch and it looks classy.
