Any builders out there? Our basement is being refinished, and the builder can't find the correct exterior door for our situation.
What I have is a cinder block wall (8" thick) but only a couple feet tall, and on top of that, standard 2x4 structural walls. Inside the basement, they built new 2x4 parition walls along the basement cinder blocks, from floor to ceiling. The existing exterior door swings in and hits the partition wall, so it opens less than 90 degrees. The builder says they can't find an exterior door with 12" threshold, 8" is the biggest they can find. they are hesitant to booty fab some trimwork to fill in 4" because they don't think it will look good. They want to take out my screen door and make the door swing outward. Can anyone else think of something better?
