External doors
Hi all.
We need to replace 2 doors that lead directly outside and two that lead to the garage. All 4 should therefore be installed with security in mind.
When buying these doors, what should I bear in mind? Do the width of doors differ? What about the height? or are there standard sizes?
What's a dead lock? and does anyone have any brands they recommend?
Do doors always come without locks? and if so, are they easy to instal? adn again: are they standard in size?
Thanks ... sorry for all the questions?!!

a standard door height is 2040mm and the most common widths are 720mm or 820mm
you will need solid core doors check out the corinthian or hume doors internet sites they have their products on their, and you can by them through any builders supplier
doors come blank you will have to supply hardware i would recommend gainsborough tri-lock lever handles and 100mm s/s hinges

First of all you need to buy solid external doors which are much more than what is called a hollow core door which should only be used internally. Doors do not come with the doors so you have to purchase the separately. There are a couple of good brands of deadlocks being Yale and Lockwood.
When you buy these you want to get them all keyed alike so that the one key will fit all the locks.
If you aren't handy it maybe worth getting a quote from someone like this http://www.doorsplus.com.au/
