Yea, I know that it is all about the mass, but I am seeing some people asking this question elsewhere and never getting the straight answer of a solid core exterior steel door like it was a few years back. Thought that I better check. I think that there may be a compromise in door type in order to make sure that it looks just like the other doors in the basement, so solid core interior doors might be what I end up with.

I am also trying to figure out what to do about sealing the bottom. Of the door. A lot of people are using a wood or metal threshold, but that isn't going to go over well with my wife.. I could just put the door a little closer to the floor so that it is a little more snug with the future carpet, but the. The door could get to be difficult to open and close which would be bad....
