Internal Doors

Ok so our current house settles in 3 weeks and we have a slight problem

My kids put a whole in our linen closet door (Don't ask ) They are just your standard 820 x 2040 white flush panel doors - from the looks of things it isn't solid on the inside. Anyway the whole is about 10cm in diameter.

I'm guessing there is no way to fix the door without buying a new one right?

I rang around a few places Doorsplus quoted me $300 for a replacement, painted white and installed - that can't be right surely!! On the corinthian website it said rrp should be $50, surely they can't hit me with $250 for installation!

Does anyone know where I can get such doors cheaply? I heard Bunnings etc sold them, but do they need to be painted?

I've looked on Ebay, none in Melbourne for sale at present which sucks I'm running out of time!

Or does anyone have 1 laying around from their build they want to sell me

was it a condition of sale that it be fixed before settlement bel?

if not then they've bought it as is and maybe you don't have to fix it?

You can pickup these from Bunnings in most cases. they are unpainted but for a Corinthian flush panel is should set you
back around $44.00. Panel carved Corinthian doors are like around 60-70 so not much difference.

bugger the $250 odd.

Buy one from Bunnies, give it a quick coat of gloss paint and get someone handy to install it for you Haywgl - lot cheaper then $300.

Your Redicoat door is about $27

Thanks everyone
It has happened since the purchases brought the house Donuts, so unfortunately will have to fix it

That's what I thought, I was hoping they had some already painted ones as I'm not sure I will be able to give it a decent paint job

Get one of those little cheap rollers, it will make the painting job much easier I think. I did ours with a roller.

Damn I knew those spare doors from the build would be useful!!!!!!

I was going to put the two doors in a safe spot, but it was too late.. they were put into the bin!!

It's ok I found a door on ebay - perfect size and already posted! Bargain - $15.00 - only problem is we have to drive to Geelong to get it

At least you will be saving more than the cost of a tank of fuel!

Exactly!!!

Fortunately I have a friend who lives out that way so I will visit her on the way so it is not a totally wasted drive

Is it sliding or a hinged door. Its not so much the cost of the door $28- 40 they are as cheap as chips. The cost of the installation is the killer, if its hinged have a go at it yourself and save $250 or have a look in your local paper for a handly man and pay cash say $40 per hour, its still a much cheaper option.

No its a hinged door - DH thinks he can do it so he can have the first go

If not we have a carpenter friend who will help out

Good luck. Hope your DH is more handy than mine!
His attempt to replace a door was a huge debacle! We are now going to employ the services of a handy man to fix the front door... less swearing, less stress and a good end result.
