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.....
http://www.howdens.com/product-range/doors-joinery-collection/external-doors/hardwood-doors/stable-oak-m-t-triple-glazed/
But with no window.
Current one looks like this....
http://www.howdens.com/product-range/doors-joinery-collection/external-doors/softwood-doors/fl-b/
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!
