what baffles me is the secondary metal(?) frame on the inside.
I can think of better projects of love but once (and if its needed) you factor in a new door frame lining that's a whole heap of moneys ..

Got you. It’s just a security thing - a hangover from the previous owner. She was an old dear living alone and so its london bars, cages, triple bolts. Either she was very timid, or someone did a number on upselling her ‘security’. It’s not part of the door at all just a cage screwed on.

Although it looks rough it’s a nice, solid wood door - just tired - hence why I’m tempted to refresh.

I see the desire to do it, personally I'd try and cut out the routering even if it means adding spacers to keep the metal guard further away from the door, just because it's adding a whole other stage.. but however it's done I think it can be done while the door is still hung
