I purchased used insulated exterior doors from a recycling store for $50 each.  Glued and screwed two inches of styrofoam insulation on both sides and added door seals.  Have 5-6 inches of insulation on all sides of two coolers with Koolbots -- can easily get into the thirties with both coolers.

When it comes to building a door that seals well and operates smoothly, I realized that I couldn't build a door that would be as good as one I can buy, though maybe you can  I bought an insulated exterior flush door at the local big box store.  Foam can be glued to both sides of it, though I haven't done that yet.

We've been working on our cool room, on and off, for going on 3 years.  This project needs to get done..

We're finally ready to build the door.  Any suggestions, particularly on making a good seal? The UKY plans totally gloss over this important item.
