    I would do the following!

    Research reviews of the doors to see what customers are saying about the product, make sure to use a credit card to give you section 75 protection, check if the door has any guarantees, after choosing the door check to see if another supplier can sell it cheaper, compare the prices including any fitting cost, tell the seller you will think about it before deciding to give some potential negotiating leverage, don't rush the decision because prices can move up and down, try to find a showroom where you can view the door if possible, check Truspilot and other sites for any possible company reviews, ask why this item is better than the cheaper doors and if possible ask them to prove it.
    Enjoy everyday like it's your last!
