How are traditional two panel doors installed?

These doors are hung within existing or new architectural frames using traditional hinges suited to the weight of the timber. Adjustments to the edges may be necessary to ensure a correct fit within older wall openings.

Can painted doors be stripped back?

Many pine and hardwood doors retain layers of historic paint that can be chemically or thermally removed to reveal the raw timber underneath. Alternatively, surfaces can be prepared for a fresh coat of paint matching modern interiors.

What timber types are most common?

Pine appears frequently in domestic pantry and architectural storage fittings, often prepared for waxing or painting. Hardwoods such as oak and mahogany are also represented among the heavier architectural joinery and cabinetry.

How do I date a pair of doors?

Dating relies upon examining the timber species, nail types, hinge hardware, and the profile mouldings around the panels. Georgian and Victorian joinery techniques display distinct tool marks and proportions that help establish the period.
