It's not a bad little door... $30, and solid wood. Looks a lot better than the flat paneled hollow core door!
To match the hinges up, I stacked the doors on my "workbench" (picnic table). This allowed me to match the positioning exactly.
I reused the existing hinges, though they may not be beefy enough for this door (which is very heavy). The door is installed... and it does feel a little warmer in the laundry room now.

Man! Who would put a hollow core door on an outside wall? That's just lame. Love the new door and the impressive hinge work :)
That's a great door! I'm still so jealous of the storm door you scored - poor Ken has heard me exclaim about it every time he mentions that we need new storm doors!
WOW! Nice door indeed and at that price -- SCORE!
Looks like an awesome door. Great recycling work
Very impressive hinge work, and a great deal on the door! I bet it is warmer back there now.
LOL I want to change out the door in my laundry too- I want a door like I have in the hallway going out to the deck- one with a working window in it for more southern light. And I want to change the door in my Bedroom to a french door with 9 windows for more light. One day! (Would you guess I have 4 exterior doors on this little house?)Your door looks great! I never find great doors at our habitat store:(
Hooray for the Restore - congrats on the new door!
One of the places we were seriously considering before we bought our place had interior doors masquerading as exterior entrances--three of them! It took our inspector to point that one out to us. Yikes!
Great door and great deal!
I like it!!!
Congrats on the find. Now I need to go deal with our drafts - DOH!!
Excellent door score. I'm super door conscious now as I really want to change out our front door (which is just plain ugly). Maybe Santa will bring me better salvage karma for Christmas.
