| Door before |
The door on this little house never quite fit. It was also falling to pieces and in need of replacement.
I am currently working on a new project down the street and found an old tongue and groove door in the basement that I thought would work here. This opening is 36 inches wide, so it's not standard.
200 year old door - very heavy!
The door needed to be cut to fit this low clearance opening.

Next, the door needed to be reinforced for the long term and have a solid place for the hinges to be attached.

The door was flipped around and patched with Durham's Wood Patch
|
 |
Patched door section will be inside edge so traffic will not destroy it over time.

Here is the door after final prep...

I found an old iron door pull from another door in the basement of my 34 project. After spray painting it black, it's ready for it's new job.

New, "old" hardware.

The finished door looks much better and is more secure. A deadbolt was later added to allow access from the outside.
