Check craigslist, pennswoods, lowes/homedepot or maybe even call a local installer to see if they have any that were removed or ones made incorrectly

Some good pointers passed along, especially the ones about checking with remodeling contractors for (often free) used stuff and good deals at suppliers.
Almost everything inside my camp was gleaned from my job sites/suppliers over a year's time: Nice cabinets from a house we demolished; Same for the almost new 100A service; Kitchen counter and vanity top from a supplier's "bargain bin"; Barely used elec. water heater (someone switched to gas when they bought the house); Perfectly good toilet from a remodeling job I did; Kitchen sink/faucets from another job; Ceiling fans, slightly used; Doors/windows, same deals on used, or bargains on new stuff.
One 6 panel insulated steel entry door I scrounged from a dumpster, where some flood remediation was taking place. Nothing wrong with it, hadn't even been under water. And it came with a shiny brass knocker and peep hole already installed.
One of my farmer neighbors enjoys the knocker whenever he stops for a visit.
