Who sells the cheapest extra wide front doors?

chilswelluk

I am looking for an extra wide front door for wheelchair access (clear opening of 900mm). I don't need fitting and just want to buy the door.    It seems most places want to flog you fitting with the doors and I have been quoted some silly prices, as I need something extra wide.  So does anyone know who is the most competitive? My friend is a courier and is able to collect from anywhere in the country.

I don't need anything fancy, just something cheap and cheerful and am not bothered what material the door is made from.

Can anyone recommend the cheapest place to go?

Have you looked at" just value doors"? Made to measure , you choose what you want, colour style etc and supply only.

We had a split barn front door , colour  we chose, made to measure  supply only and it cost under 2k

Measure twice, cut once

Anything approaching 2k is well outside my price range, especially if fitting myself.  I have been quoted much cheaper than this including fitting.

Thanks for the link, but I don't see prices or how to order anywhere?

It might be a silly question but is the frame wide enough ?

Thats not an issue as I am knocking out sections of wall.

If you want cheap and cheerful then why not buy a standard size door and screw a hardwood strip down each edge ?

The opening post says a wide door is needed for wheelchair access.

Exactly thats why I said screw a hardwood strip down each side thus making as wide as required eg, standard door is 838 + 2 strips at 31 = 900

Sorry, I thought you meant to put the strip down the sides of the frame to make it small enough to fit a standard door.
