Anyone know of anywhere I can get some internal doors, light with glass panes, made in the Dorset or Hants area?

Bit of a stab in the dark (and a bit of distance) but try McCallum's Doors - Highland Road, Southsea. 023 9273 4464. Good local reputation, just not sure if they do what you're after.

The sort that open inwards? French doors?

Just interal doors, to go between our utility room and the kitchen. When we had the kitchen remodelled we had the doorway enlarged, but the muppet didn't make it a standard size.

So just hinged or folding lightwood doors, glazed - essentially just a fram with panes of glass - is what I'm after.

What's the width and height of the opening?

1505mm width
2055mm height

It's about 5 - 6mm too narrow.

Sounds like the opening may have been made for metric sized doors? Do you intend to put double doors in that opening, e.g. 2 at 750mm? Often when fitting double doors they have a rebate where they meet, to allow a kind of overlap. Are you planning on fitting them yourself, or getting a carpenter to do it, because a carpenter should be able to rebate them for you, fit them and the latch, and maybe even source the doors.

As for suppliers, I think these people have a good range...
Doors of Distinction Ltd, 63, Cobham Rd, Ferndown Industrial Estate, Wimborne, Dorset BH21 7QF Tel: 01202 872211.

Also, maybe Howdens Joinery (http://www.howdens.com/home.php) have a place near you (trade only though).

Andrew.

Thanks Andrew. I won't be fitting them myself, but a guy that changed some other internal doors for us seemed to think that there would be difficulty in getting something to fit.

Yes, double doors or 4 piece folding doors if possible. I'll look at those places, and if the trade supplier has something suitable I can get the fitter to purchase it.

Cheers!
