It's not clear from the phrasing of your question whether you want to
buy a door, or you want to sell one. Please clarify? Also, what KIND
of door are you selling/wanting to buy? (A front door, a screen door,
an interior door...what quality, type, etc?)

Kindly clarify the  'in NY'

 Does it mean that you want a business which 
has a good selection and shows it on line and 
will deliver the door to you in NY

 or  do you need a brick showroom in the NY city?

It is not rewarding to do research for people who
do not prusue what I call 'a cooperative asking strategy'.

It is also risky, since researcher  can  spend time researching
a wrong interpretation, only to have the answer rejected.

Clarification of Question by stephife-ga on 18 Oct 2002 02:27 PDT

Sorry for the clarification delay.  I don't have frequent access to my
hotmail account and it took me a minute to figure out how to clarify.
Wanted to buy.  Replacement door.  It is an interior door for an
apartment in the Bronx.  Heavy wood, 80" x 30" x 2".  I need to know
how do I find more advertisers online.  I already checked ebay and
Loot (a NY used items for sale newspaper).  Thanks all.

Hello stephife,

I understand finding doors can be a pain. I did find a few places
right in the city that will sell you a replacement door. At the end I
will tell you how I found them since that seems to be an interest here
as well. I was unable to find an exact size replacement door, but the
companies I list, make custom doors in your area. Most deliver and
install.

Here are the first few that I found with pertinent contact info:

Barton Hardwood Doors and Glass
127 Montrose Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11206
http://www.bartondoors.webatonce.com/
Description : Solid Hardwood New and Used Doors. Treated finished and
unfinished. Makes Custom sizes as well.
Phone : 718-388-3754 

Enjo MillWorks
16 Park Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10302 
http://www.enjo.com/enjo_web/index2.htm
Description : Makes Custom sizes as well.
Phone : 800-437-ENJO (3656)

Quality Door
780 RAILROAD AVENUE - WEST BABYLON, NEW YORK 11704
http://www.qualitydoor.com/
Description : Can custom fabricate any size quality doors.
Phone : (631)884-DOOR(3667)

Here is a big 'bonus' for your search:

I called and spoke with the owner of a door manufacturing company in
New York City. They gave me a personal referral to pass specifically
onto you. This company will make the door, and install it :

Jay Stein Lock and Door
(718) 523-5425
Be sure to ask for Al or Allen, and tell them Metropolitan Door sent
you if they ask.

In my haste I forgot to ask for the address, but by the looks of the
phone number, they may be located in Queens.

None of these sites list prices, and I am sure you would end up having
to buy a custom cut door - so the prices would vary from stock anyway.
I hope this assists you in getting your new door, and remember to
simply ask for clarification if my search didn't meet your needs. I'll
be sure to get you what you need.

To find these sites I searched for:

"nyc" door sales :
://www.google.com/search?q=%22nyc%22+door+sales

"nyc" wood door sales : 
://www.google.com/search?q=%22nyc%22+wood+door+sales

As you can see I used quotations around the NYC part. This ensures I
only get results that contain the terms 'NYC', with the listings
containing any of the terms wood - door - sales listed first in my
search results.

Good Luck!

Try E-Bay

I did not find the http://411.to link listed above helpful...all it
does is bring up two listings for NY businesses which have "door" in
their names.
