What is your question? If it is where to purchase inexspensively, check out a salvage place near you or Building Materials Outlet near you. You can purchase the doors for a very cheap price, we got ours for $250, you haul home yourself.

As far as door replacement goes, this is an easy one. Most window and door manufacturers make this kind of replacement because many, like you, don't like the compromises of a sliding door. No modification of the framing will be required but this is a job for someone experienced in door and window replacement.
We replaced our broken slider with a french door... we got a pre-hung set at Lowe's... Salvaged ones are a good idea too, as long as you know how to build the frame work for them.
