Good morning
Does anyone know how to get new exterior doors
that are 19 high at a reasonable price?
Thanks in advance
 
Good evening.

Go to your nearest building supply store, builder's merchant, or lumberyard.
 
My nearest hardware store doesn't have reasonable prices on anything :-/
Are there 19 high in the regular assortment?

My door seems to be "18.5" ???
 
There are some manufacturers that make doors in odd heights and I believe that the cheapest option is to turn to one of "the big ones."

Then a carpentry can manufacture doors in any dimensions, and you can order it from "the big ones" too but it is rarely cheap.

Can't you instead increase the height measurement of the opening?

Well, there's probably a maximum of 15 cm that can be increased, but it should probably be a low door on my cottage, although preferably more insulated and tighter, but an inner door in the winter might be a simpler solution......

Yes, sometimes it is!
 
We ordered a "low" door.
I think it was Swedoor.
It wasn't cheap compared to the list price for a standard door.
Felt a bit silly to pay a lot more to get less material...
(Yes, I understand why...Economy of scale as the Englishman would say)

But check with a carpenter. We bought doors and windows for our cottage from one of those old carpenters in the village.
You know, the ones with three or four fingers missing ;)

Costs about the same as the lumberyard's stuff, but you can decide the dimensions, profiles, glass, etc. all by yourself.

We are very proud of our door, so I'm posting a picture...

And we also have interior doors. Similar, but with a full insulated glass pane instead of small leaded panes in cultural glass.
 
Fancy, but why have insulating glass indoors?
 
Just a bit of terminology confusion...

So these are interior doors just inside the exterior doors, in order to get better insulation.
Aren't these also called interior doors???

Not interior doors that are in interior walls, because it would be really strange to have insulating glass there...
