I WANNA: Barn Style external door and fittings...

On the hunt for a new back door as my previous one has warped terribly.

Its a listed building so I need it to be similar to the old one (black strips of wod) but fancy replacing it with a barn door (ie opens in two sections).

But I'm having real trouble finding one.

I usually buy from Howdens, what I'm looking for it this.....

But with no window.

Current one looks like this....

And I think is softrwood....hence the warping!

Also I would like some quality fittings - storm thresholds, decent handles and locks etc.

Anyone know where I can read up about the thresholds and fittings and where I can get a door from?

The Howdens one comes in at about £250 which I thought was a good price for a solid door, pity it snot what I want!
