The problem to solve
The original door showed widespread paint failure and weathering around the lower panels and mouldings. Its proportions and underlying joinery remained well suited to the entrance, so restoration was considered before replacement.
The decision
Restoring the original door preserved its existing design while allowing damaged areas and failed finishes to be properly addressed. The door and frame were assessed together, with any necessary adjustments included as part of the restoration.
The work in detail
The result
The restored door retains its original panel arrangement and character, with the repaired joinery and new finish bringing the entrance back to its best. The before-and-after images show why the condition of the underlying joinery, rather than surface appearance alone, should guide the decision to repair or replace.
