Replacing a window with an exterior door. The opening is 36"X6'8". Is there a sidelite/door/combo to fit this?

Question

I don't want the door any bigger than 30". I was hoping to buy a door and sidelite combo that will fit this opening. Is there a manufacturer that would make this?

Answer 1

sure......go to lowes or like and they can match it for ya...but a non standard door will cost u  more ...

lic. gen. contractor

Answer 2

Yes i believe that is a standard size. However if you cant find it at Lowes or Home Depot, you can custom order it, but it will be costly.

Answer 3

No. Not without expanding the width

Speaking in terms of a prehung replacement, a 30 inch unit is going to take up approximately 31 1/2 inches of width.

If by some chance you could find someone to build such a "sliver" of a sidelite, the glass would only amount to a couple of inches at best.

I would suggest either enlarging the opening for the side, or just install a 32 inch door.

Actually I know someone that could build one, and would laugh all the way to the bank.

To make a long story short, this is VERY nontypical.

Email me.

Answer 4

There are so many options I can't list them.  Just Get your rough opening opening.  Meaning stud to stud.  Take that to your local building supply store. (home Depot or lowes usually takes about 4-6 weeks a specialty store usually take half the time.)

Answer 5

There's is a complete set-up exterior door with prehung frame that u can just size the bottom to fit the 6'8" opening.  If ur in the US.  HomeDepot got it.
