I have one that is warp, can I just pull the hing pins and take the door to have another made to fit. Bring it home and just put the pins back in?
This is a door going from my into the garage 32" wide 79" tall

It depends on if the hinge side jamb is plumb or not.

But you probably can have a new one made.


What caused it to warp?

Exposure to weather seems strange, it being inside the garage.

I guess from one side hot other side cold over time..older wooden door

Check all sides of the casing with a level and a square.

If all are still in alignment (square and perpendicular), you can have a replacement made, but if not, it might be easier to make one to fit the opening.

Which will take an experienced hand to measure it and make to fit.


It should be simple enough to do.


Have fun.

Depending on the new door, if the hinges can made to fit it, then it should work as you describe.

Might be a good time to replace the wooden door with either a steel or fire rated fiberglass door. The steel doors are fairly inexpensive now, fiberglass fire rated are a bit more money, but nicer.

I agree 100% with Fire.
What condition is the jambs and molding on the old door?
Good luck trying to make a new door off site and having it fit.

You might want to add an automatic closing device as well.

Thanks for all the information, looks like I will have to do the prehung door.
Can't find any door shops near me

a good carpenter can do what you want, I've done it a hundred times.

have him look at the existing door, so that he can mark it up where to make adjustments to correct any other fit issues. lay it on top of the new blank, and transfer all of the markings over.
