Door ID needed

[gk141054]

Hey all,

I live in a 1930s house and need to find a door to match, or close to, existing. Have searched 1930s internal doors but all come up with the one over three panel doors.

Can anyone help identify the door in the photo attached to help me search for one similar, or advise where I might find one please?

That doesn’t look like a 30’s style door probably a much later replacement for the property and considered quite dated by todays standards.

You could always get one made if you can afford it.

I'm thinking along the same lines as @foxhole - that the door doesn't look particularly 1930s - but if all the doors in the house are the same...

What I will say is that the curved top moulding is well executed and doesn't look like a mass produced door at all (look at the angled ends of the top rail - that indicates an amount if hand workwhich you would never see in a factory produced item, even in the 1930s). Why do you need to replace it?

Yep all the doors in the house are the same.
Im not replacing it, I'm putting a new door in and the photo is another door in the house.

I think you'll need to look at getting a one off made. Most of the 1930s repro doors I've seen are copies of the mass produced 3- and 4-panel doors which came in relatively cheaply (i.e. in bulk), often from Canada, between the wars. You see a lot of these still in 1930s mock Tudor semis, so a fairly large potential market. The fact that you have what looks like panelled walls and a bespoke newel post in the background leads me to think that your house is maybe a bit grander (I started with a firm who did a lot of oak panelling) and that the doors may well have been made as a bespoke order, or in low volumes (at the time)

If you do decide to get one made, the workshop needs to be able to undertake ring fence work on a spindle moulder (or use a CNC - although they aren't common), so worth asking anyone you contact if they can do that
