Or a neighbor's house currently under demolition or remodel. If you're lucky it will come with several undercoats of lead pant, to match. Or steal it off your own e.g., basement door and re-do that one, funnily with w/e. "This size was used mid-century - guessing the house is 1950s although this could have been updated then." – DMoore | |

They will help you find the closest match. If it's a different door it doesn't have to be an exact match. Nobody will notice. And, unless you plan to meticulously strip and repaint all the existing trim, once painted even an exact match will look different. The lumber specialist near me has hundreds of styles. They don't have names, they all have catalog numbers. You have to search visually. | |
