hello everyone,

i'm building an iso booth right now. i'd like to build a double door entry to it, with a 24" wide door.

can anybody offer some suggestions?

i know they make Overly doors, but I'm looking to do-it-myself... I can't drop $3k on a door right now!

i'm sort of not having much luck at Lowes or Home Depot. it seems they are out of stock on metal doors. at minimum, i need a metal frame for the doors so they hang square and robustly.

my idea is to have a two doors in one big frame opening. then slap some drywall, limp-mass vinyl and sonex on the doors to improve the STC.

slapping the stuff up isn't the problem... the problem is finding the metal door frame to hang two doors!

(I'm in New Jersey and will drive two hours in any direction to get this stinkin' frame!).

I guess this isn't a gear question, but it's a "gear helper" question that is very important to me.
