Cost in fuel for the 3.0 on a return trip would be same as a new door, i'll just put it with bins out back if no one wants it in a few days  :y

i took a door off and got rid of it, it was a pain. as i live in a flat, and all doors must be fire rated if i have a fire i would not be able to claim on the insurance. so if it is one you have taken off look into it before you throw it out

I really do believe you do look into windows.  Most of the rest of us confine our activities to looking out of them. :)

This door is solid wood, it would burn, so removing it would probably help!

Most domestic fire doors are Mark  ;D the difference is they have a Intumescent strip around the door perimeter that holds back the heat & smoke & are designed to last for a good length of time before burning through, that's what Richey meant by checking before ditching the door. :y

Indeed Phil. Most internal doors I've worked on are just a honeycomb of cardboard with a millionth of an inch of ply glued to it. ;D

Agree with that, but put a sign on it saying solid wood, a fake phone number and a price of say £30.00. That will gaurantee it will disapear.  :y ;D ;D ;D

Yes STMO, I've bought & fitted a fair few of those in my time. Get the size wrong & after a quick shave with the plane, you've either got nothing to screw the hinges to or else nowt to fit the lock set in! ;D ;D ;D ;D :y
