Forum Title: Prehung Door in Concrete Foundation

I would like to replace a walkout basement door but I am not sure how to approach this since its in a poured concrete wall. Ideally I want to just get an ecomomical steel prehung door. What do I need to consider to get this done?

IMO that's a lot for a steel door. Our local Jeld Wen showroom has a magnificent entrance door system of mahogany......$15,000 will put it right in your opening When starting to read your post, I was imagining something like an exotic wood or even fiberglas, which are all more expensive. Then you mentioned steel, and it watered it down for me. Have you done any more shopping around with different manufacturers?

Just measuring the size of the door will tell you what size to buy.

Hi, I installed a few doors but never to a concrete wall. I think your best bet is to use czizzi's recomendation. The reason is with the inside casing removed you may be able too see how the door was installed then go from there. Good Luck Wood Butcher
