Anyone got a door they don't need anymore?

Hi everyone.

I'm in search of a door. My Davis Square-based radio drama performance troupe, The Post-Meridian Radio Players, needs to repair its Foley door and our builder suggested finding an old door and cutting out a section the size we need, rather than building another one from scratch again. If you've got an unused door you'd like to get rid of, or know of a place where we might find one, please chime in. Thanks. :)

You might want to state the size of the final door that you are making. You also didn't request a solid or hollow core door.

Even the 'soild' doors being made today are not totally solid. Only a few inches on either side are solid so that you can put in the hinges and handle. Solid doors have a thicker shell than the hollow core doors. It used to be that the styles were solid wood with through mortis and tennon joints.

If you cut in too far you will need to cut a long strip of wood to plug up the resulting hole.

I didn't want to complicate things. I figured I'd just see if there are any doors out there first, then work it out from there.

But since you bring it up...

The frame will take a door up to about 14"w x 22"h x 1.5"d. I'd prefer whichever core would make the door sound bigger than it is when it opens and closes, but we'll make do with whatever is available.

My builder can definitely handle whatever alterations are needed to make the door work.
