That's starting to look like the plan. A local building supply place said
that a pre-framed door for a 48" opening could be custom-made, but it would be
about $350.
The harderr part of the project is making a solid, square frame
that is properly attached to the cement walls. I also have to deal with the
fact that there is a step where the door is supposed to go, so the sill (if
any) might be tricky.
