• A couple of months ago, some cunt tried to break into our house with a crowbar. They didn’t get in, but managed to split the (nasty, non-original) front door.

    Whilst seshing the bog a couple of weeks later, I got an eBay notification for a Victorian front door which EXACTLY matches our neighbour’s original. This is after 8 years of looking for exactly that. Blessing from jah.

    It’s now fitted, with new vertical hardwood frames, AQ21 weather seals routed in, 4-point auto lock and auto drop-down bottom draught seal a-la @dbr.

    Now paralysed by colour choice…

  • That's going to look amazing - super lucky with getting matching door! Fluted glass looks nice as well. With the colour of your rendered plinth and lintel, I'd be pretty tempted to go all No.10 with black.

  • Why do you know so much?! What even are those things?

  • Give us an image from the whole street facade and we will decide by majority!
    I also think the yellow could be cool, ties the whole thing together. Depending on colour of lintels keep the frame light

  • This looks excellent. Thinking about refurbing our very leaky original front door, did you do the work yourself? If so, more details on how you added the weather seals and sourced the glass would be much appreciated!

    Nice, did you do all of this or outsource it?!

    Good to know that argon-filled, toughened, warm edge spacer compatible fluted glass exists because there's meant to be a LOT in our front door, so I'll have to hit you up for supplier deets at some point.
