Door - exterior relacement

Door - exterior relacement

Hi all - I'm looking for a guide to replacing an exterior door on my brick shed/garage. 

 

The old one is an internal door installed by the last owner (a dodgy builder!).  No surprise that the weather has deteriorated the door to the point that it is disintegrating.  Not to mention the adverse effect of the monstera roots, the monstera that refuses to die!  

 

I'll probably have to replace the door surround as well and would consider using steel door frame.

Oh dear @Kingbeehooker, that certainly needs replacing! I'm sure Workshop members will be happy to assist. 

 

You might like to start here - How to hang a door. I'll also embed the video below. And if you decide that D.I.Y. is not for you, then Bunnings also offers an installation service

 

Welcome to the community, it's great to see you make your first post and join in the discussion. Feel free to post anytime you need a hand.

 

Thanks,

 

Jason

Make sure the door is a  Solid Exterior Door 

Also consider a split metal frame installation
