We have a couple of doors in our house badly in need of replacement. (OK one is a real emergency and the other an esthetic problem). Anyway, I don't know if all Eichler developments have the same doors, but if anyone in San Rafael is dipsosing of these doors, or knows where to get replacements, please let me know. Must find one this month!

We are going to be replacing our doors soon. (It may take us a while, but we already have the new doors.)

The old doors are not all in good condition. Many have holes and stickers. But, there may be one or two that are good. You can email me if you would like.

You might check whether modern plain doors will be appropriate, and whether you can buy one with a similar wood grain. It seems like interior doors are still lauan these days, and with the right stain might match your paneling well.

The other advantage of a new door is you might find it easier to install than using an existing door. In San Jose, you can bring your old door to Southern Lumber, and they'll cut the door to match, drill the hole for the knobset, and cut space for the hinges and latch. I haven't used them, but it seems like an great way to replace doors.

You are correct about buying new doors. Yard Birds have wood doors that look very much like the doors in my house. You might check there first to buy matching doors.
