Many.

Junkyards...the back of funky antique places....old, abandoned houses or 
farms.
But you can just take a piece of steel plate, cut 2 vertical kerfs one 
above the next, then weld hinges across the cuts. Extend cuts to make 
the rest of the door and tack some strips on the inside of the door 
frame for a seal/backstop. Weld on latch and handle.
Or any of a dozen other solutions.
