Looking for Information about doors

Submitted by Joe s on October 18, 2007 - 1:41pm.

Yo! I live in Fairmount. The home I have originally had two doors. I believe these were called Philadelphia Doors. The old doors were replaced by a single steel door. I want to replace the steel door with an original looking set of doors.
The big box stores do not carry them.
I have seen on 24th, 25th, Brown and Aspen etc. New wood double doors. Where were they purchased?

Thanks for the information.

We had our original doors replaced about 10 years ago. It was tough finding someone who would do the whole repro shebang, but we went with K&L Woodworking, from Reading, PA. Here is their website: http://www.klwood.com/. Be prepared for an expensive venture if you really want to restore the original look.

Thanks Jeff for the info. I have a carpenter but so far his local resources have turned up nada.
