How To Select A Door Without Metal Sides
1. Measure dimensions A, B, C and D.
2. Select length at least 2" longer than “A” and no longer than “B”.
3. Select width at least 4" wider than “C” and no wider than “D”.
We have the most complete replacement door system in the U.S.
When remodeling or rehabilitating, it makes sense to replace wooden
basement doors. Our replacement doors offer the same features and
advantages as our new doors, but are shipped wi
th s
ide rails instead of
sides. Sidewalls (concrete, brick, fieldstone, or cinderblock) already exist, so
new units install easily. Our flat RD Door adapts to most existing sidewalls. If
necessary, foundation plates can be used to modify an entryway.

Foundation Plates
Foundation plates are angle irons used to modify non
standard size foundations to allow use of standard
size doors. Also, they may be used to cap irreg
ul
ar
surface such as stone or rough concrete, eliminating
the need to set forms and pour a new concrete cap.
“H” dimension is always 3".
“G” dimension is standard 7' long. Length is cut to
size in field with a circular or reciprocating saw and
a metal cutting blade.
Longer lengths available–special order.
Note: Available in one inch increments
3" x 3" x 7', 3" x 4" x 7'...3" x 20" x 7'...
