Illuminated Photo Door

I thought of a french door that is located in a room that my husband uses as his “man cave”.He never closes it, and it’s a gorgeous door that’s never seen.I think the previous owner must have found the door at a garage sale or somethingbecause it doesn’t match the other doors in the house.I also purchased a Glass Door Knob and spray painted the hardware that came with it,and the back of the handle to give it that distressed look.It even came with keys…Presenting my illuminated photo door…Time goes by fast guys…capture it/display it anyway you can.

Guide to Old Doors

On Georgian-era doors, for instance, the profile is fairly shallow and more rounded than that of Federal doors.Another cost- and labor-saving innovation was the move to flat-panel doors, like the cabinet doors in kitchens of the period.By the 1950s, of course, many interior and even exterior doors had lost all architectural relief and were a single plane of wood—either solid and intercut with decorative glazing, or, for many types of interior doors, with a hollow core.(Hard to believe that many of these doors are now old enough to be considered historic.)

Considerations for Double Screen Doors

Considerations for Double Screen Doors For double doors, your order should include two screen doors and an astragal and should indicate the total width and height of the opening for the pair.The hardware selection we recommend for double screen doors includes hinges for both doors, a functional lockset and pneumatic door closer for the active door with full dummy trim and two slide bolts for the normally closed door.The round knob on the Von Morris Buckingham trim does not allow adequate knuckle clearance, in our opinion, but the oval-shaped egg knob of the Earlham trim does.The round Merit knob on the 20356 allows adequate knuckle clearance because it is smaller in diameter and has a longer projection than the round Von Morris knob.

Considerations for Double Screen Doors
