Wood Doors

A fire in this very old historic building in downtown Northwest Portland necessitated that the fire department break down a door to gain access. It was one of a double-entry set of doors, which was one of a number of matching sets of double doors.

The point being of course, that the replacement door had to match the original doors. We measured and laid out all the specifications for a local custom door shop to manufacture a replica door for us. We replaced the damaged hinge-jamb, sized, beveled, mortised and…

…installed the door. We provided & installed weatherstripping and a new mortise-case lock. These are among the most satisfying of jobs. For obvious reasons, the degree of satisfaction always seems commensurate the level of difficulty.
