They were the ONLY ones from your list who are going to be able to use the top window
panel from the existing doors and add three more sections each for two new doors. And
they are doing this for $950 for both!! The problem is that the Windsor Door company is
not in business and their ""730"" doors are no longer available. Being a centre unit, I can
now match my two neighbours, albeit the squares on the other panels are only slightly
different
