Where to buy Solid Wood Internal Slab/Flush Door?

[Hank80]

Hi,

I am having trouble sourcing internal doors which
are solid wood and flush. No need to be thick
fire doors and they will be painted so would prefer
if they are not too pricey.


Any idea where I can get them?

I've never seen a solid wood, flush, paint-grade door!

Why does it have to be solid?

Do you mean with a solid chipboard core so heavy feeling or actually solid (proper) wood?

Thank you for the replies.

Yes it has to be solid wood because we are raising
the floor by 3cm due to fitting wood flooring with
underlay and boards to level out the floor.

All the doors I have seen are standard height
and the shops have said they cannot be trimmed
by 3cm and they advised me to buy solid wood
doors so we can cut as much as we need ....

I did not think it would be so hard to find a
plain solid wood door to cut to size, please
let me know if there is a place I can buy
these.

Doubt you will find a solid flush all timber door, you can just by a cheap panel door , trim off the 30mm from the base which will also include the base rail, the hardboard can then be planed off the offcut and replaced into the base of the door [glued].

Or you could buy an inexpensive wooden panelled door and glue/pin a thin sheet of plywood on each side. This was all the rage in the fifties and sixties!

You could also buy a second hand door from a reclaimation yard - then you wouldn't have to worry about it shrinking and warping.
