* Please note that the
24"x74" in the title is just an estimate. The door is not exactly that size. Please see "Dimensions" below.
Elegant, antique interior door salvaged from an old, home in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
The door is made of solid Douglas Fir or pine and has 5 raised panels on both sides. The door is painted on both sides.
When most people hear "pine" they think of a cheap, weak, soft
wood. New pine hewn from 10 - 20 year old trees don't have
the same insect-resistant, rot-resistant, or even fire-resistant qualities
that old pine, hewn from trees hundreds of years old have. Old pine is also
much harder and stronger than young pine.
Hardware:
The door is not
equipped with any hardware. However, we have a good selection of
hardware to outfit it (check out our eBay store).

Quirks & Considerations:
The width of the door was unevenly cut by 1/4". The cut was most likely made
to accommodate a warped floor or sagging foundation. We could cut the
door to an even 23 3/4", or cut it narrower/shorter, or even build it up to
be wider/taller--message

The door has 1 split panel (see last photo). Expansion
and contraction occurs naturally due to changes in temperature, and the cracks
are just a result of this process over the course of many years. It may sound
funny, but when the panel expanded and reached its limits within its
openings or frames; it was unable to stretch out any further, and ultimately
cracked in the center to relieve their stress or tension.
Condition: Considering
the door is well over 100 years old, it is strong, sturdy
and in great condition. It only has nicks and scratches, but no breaks,
cracks, gouges or any other serious issues. The door has a break on the exterior
side of the lock-stile (see 4th photo). Most of the blemishes that it has will disappear after sanding, prior to refinishing or repainting, and whatever remains will be subtle, "character marks".
Swing: The
door is set up to swing into a room towards the left, or away from a room towards the right. We can modify the door to swing in the opposite direction--message
us for a quote.
Modification: Do you want to replace the panels with glass, screen/mesh, or something
else? We could modify the doors to fit your opening or suite your needs. Trim or add to the height or width,
reverse the swing, plug the hardware holes, etc. Email us with a
small description of what you would like done, and we'll give you a
quote.
