Then I cut the opening in the exterior wall, dry-fit the door and determined how far to inset it, where to set the tread and how off level the side of the building is (a lot!)
I then installed the door with shims, and sprayed expanding foam in the gaps. Yesterday I went to the Templeton Habitat ReStore to get my volunteer orientation and while I was there I spotted a still-in-the-package Schlage exterior lock set, and grabbed it for $3. It went in perfectly.
