• setting the injected insulative material, wherein the insulative material is cured around the support frame, thereby connecting or bonding the support frame to the insulative material;
• providing an inner door liner having a generally rectangular perimeter having a shape and size that closely corresponds to the rectangular perimeter of the support frame;
• securing the inner door liner to the set injected insulative material and support frame to form a base door;
