Wood Doors

Flowers by Tommy Luke Flower shop in S.W. downtown Portland on 12th street.

The store is beginning to unintentionally show the age of the building. Time for an entryway facelift. The original ill-fitting wood door is of course, the center of it all. One of those all-important first impressions you get.

Rubbing on the exterior soffit, and rubbing on the strike-jamb as evidenced by the marks on the door edge.

These antiquated hydraulic door closers are quite the novelty, displaying plenty of character, but lack some of the refined adjustments…

…of the modern hydraulic door closer, such as this LCN Model 4041.

This variation of the Adams-Rite model 1890 Latch/Lock was reinstalled into the new door.

If you enlarge this photo by clicking on it, you will see that we were also initially asked to reinstall the original flat-bar push-pull hardware that runs across the door.

But then we were later asked to return & install a slightly more elegant round push-pull bar ensemble.

Behold, the finished product which we custom-fit, machined and installed into the original jamb assembly, retaining all the original interior and exterior trim components.

The face lift. Compare this photo to the second photo (above).
