Materials and hardware used to make it:
- Standard fiberglass exterior door.
- Red cedar (won't rot, but lighter than pressure treated). Three 2x4s, ripped to 3" to form a frame to offset the siding, mounted to the door using 3" lag screws and fender washers (fender washers used to prevent the bolts from tearing through the fiberglass door).
- HardiPlank siding.
- Morning Industry Keypad and Remote Deadbolt. http://amzn.to/11adXxk
- Ball Catch (holds the door shut without needing a turn-able doorknob). http://amzn.to/SgZJrU
- Richelieu 1-1/2-in x 1-1/2-in Satin Nickel Surface Cabinet Hinge (two). http://www.lowes.com/pd_173167-93052-BP1062GU_0__?productId=3576254
- Hose bib (used as as the exterior door handle... no working plumbing connected).
- Interior doorknob is a dummy knob (used for pulling the door open but doesn't actually latch).
