Hello everyone,
I have another question.
We want to replace the doors in our prefabricated house. However, the wall thickness is only about 6.5cm (2.6 inches), so finding suitable door frames is difficult. I have a contact who installs parquet flooring and also fits doors. Unfortunately, the local manufacturer he works with does not offer door frames that narrow. I did find some options online. Since I would prefer to get the doors themselves through my contact, my question is whether it is possible to simply buy the door frames from a different shop and then source the doors locally? They should be standardized in some way, right? I made sure that the color tone matches (frame: CPL RAL 9016, door according to the catalog: lacquered RAL 9016).
Can these be combined like this, or what else should I consider? If it’s possible, I would order the frames online and have my contact source the doors.
Thanks!

With the frame, the door costs me about 300€ (around $320), depending on whether I choose reinforced hinges, 2- or 3-piece. But the model we chose is roughly around 300€ (around $320).
The problem with the doors is that I have to rely on a shop that offers 70mm (about 2.75 inches) frames. Most places start at 80mm (about 3.15 inches), and I shouldn’t mix them. So, I will stick with that one shop.
