Period Doors
We work on both internal and external period doors, most of what we do is in the workshop, we do occasionally do work on site. We do know a very skilled carpenter who's able to fit and adjust period doors.​
We also have a another site Architectural Decor selling antique & period door furniture.
Original period door sourced by the customer from a rec yard, slightly bigger than the original.
​
It actually came to us with lots of layers of coloured paint. We had it dip stripped, a few repairs, sanded, undercoated. We supplied and fitted all the door furniture. Had the door fitted and finally 2 coats of customers colour choice.
A pair of pine master/slave front doors sourced by the customer, I'm pretty sure they're early 1900s & French.
​
Turned out they were quite rotten on the bottoms. We cut it all out and replaced it with hardwood & quite a few general repairs. It hadn't been overly painted so just a good sanding on both sides.
We spent a fair bit of time refurbishing the original door furniture, including a mechanism with a very unusual sprung mechanism. We then replaced some of the items that were missing, letterbox and handles
​
Finally several coats of exterior grade undercoat and the customers colour choice, we also wrapped them for export.
Edwardian pine vestibule door.
​
We actually ended up hand stripping this one, finishing with several coats of wax & refurbishing the original door furniture.
