Hello Guys,
We are renovating the laundry area and looking to buy/install new external door.
Any recommendations / bargains around?
Cheers

How about this, I'll go one better.
Get yourself a fair-dinkum looking latch off eBay. Eliminates the need to change the lock whilst maintianing security — based on the strength of the door frame, of course. This latch isn't stopping any SWAT team. But it's a bargain.
It's not that hard to rekey a lock. I'm sure there would be instructions on you tube.
What you need to consider with a second-hand door though OP is that the cut outs for the hinges probably won't line up with yours. Depending on the style of your house, external doors are available at Bunnings for around $60-$70 or maybe less.
Well here's an eBay solution. A steal at 1 cent pick up.
If you look in your area on Gumtree, you'll be able to find a more local solution, such as this one.
After a lick of paint from that spare can in the garage, and it'll look as good as new.
Just be mindful that you'd probably want to change the locks on these ones; obvious advice prevents rookie errors.
