Universal Fire Proof Doors vs. Statewide Door
Has anyone bought doors from either of these companies? If so, I would like to hear about your experiences with them. I am trying to decide between hollow steel doors vs steel doors with a wood core. Thanks.

I bought 2 fire rated doors from statewide ( 1 wood. 1 metal)... they were prepared on time and I found them to be helpful, if not a little old school. My contractor installed them w/o a hitch so I guess thats a good sign... I didn't do a lot of price comparison so can't comment on that.

Thanks for your feedback owner12. How long did it take to make the metal door. They are telling me 4-6 weeks.

It depends on door, frame type and hardware.
If its a standard size and frame, you can get a knock down frame off the shelf (hardware too)
4-6 weeks is most likey for a welded frame, special size etc.
I bought from statewide and it was fine. I didn't like hardware option for mortise lock.In hindsight I should have paid for higher spec.

chas is right.. my sizes were custom ( 8ft) so it took longer but not 4-6 weeks.. I believe my doors were ready in about 7-10 days.

Really?! I only received that timeframe for Universal Doors but they have hollow doors. I have to get custom size doors. They are quoting me approx $800 per door. Does that sound right?
