Dear members,
Any advice or suggestions are welcome, whether buying doors from shops or custom-making is the better option.
Any recommendations in North Bangalore are also welcome - our site is in Banaswadi.
Many thanks.

Dear Philips
Generally location is not a constraint as ready to use doors will be door delivered or the carpenter can work at any corner of the city.
meanwhile, You need to Provide more details to get a precise answer like
1. Are you looking for Main Door or for other areas or for all applications?
2. what is your budget range?
3. are you looking for Fancy/Antique one or a cost effect one ?
4. Have sufficient time for to want for a carpenter to prepare the Custom door or you have time constraint.....etc.?
5. your preference type of wood.

To add to add msn1270 says:
Do you want it polished or painted ?
Are you wiling to maintain it on a periodic basis ?
Hope you are not planning to use them for the bathrooms

Thank you msn1270 and Ganesh for your replies...
I have 15 doors in all including 2 main doors.
As of now, am considering teak (burma) for main doors. Not sure even at 8200/cft we are getting original burma.
Quote i have is 34500/- Polishing is another 1500/-
For burma border i have 20,000/- per door
Ghana - 11500/-
For bathroom veneer door - 4700/ door.
These are 7* 3 standard doors with simple 4 or 6 panels. No carvings.
Please let me know what is your opinion on these rates.
