Replacing doors in 1920s house

We have a local dedicated door shop, I suggest you find your local one.

Straightening warped doors isnt impossible. If youre not in a hurry it might be worth a go, costs nothing but a little time.

I feel your pain, in our 30's semi most of the doors have been replaced and not one of them matches.

These might help maybe ?

| Hi, | Just in the process of doing up our 1920s semi. The house has nice | pitch-pine panelled interior doors, but unfortunately the previous | owner had them dipped and stripped and they are warped to the extent | that most of them won't close properly. Could anyone give me any tips | on a good source of replacements in a similar style? Would rather not | replace them with generic Wickes/B&Q type stuff, but there again don't | want to take out a 2nd mortgage for custom made jobbies....... | cheers

A local joiner made us a door, to my design, competitive with the sheds

Can you move the door stops? You can lose about 3/4" without it being too apparent.

Probably a good bet. The Yellow Pages could be useful.

Are they like this?

There are some at my local saw mill which are the same basic form but made with that red coloured close grained pine, Douglus Fir or Canadian Redwood looking. With visable tennons, a very attractive door. I'm not sure wheather they are the same as in the above picture because I thought they were made by JBKind and are on sale for £129.

This place has a huge range, including reclaimed too:

When we wanted matching doors in our house when we had an extension built we went down the bespoke route - about 100 GBP per door IIRC.

(Presumably you've had a shufti down at the local salvage yards?)

Hope the doors work better than the website
