I'm looking for a reclaimed 1930's panelled front door (three tall below,

Is an old door much cheaper than a new one? There are lots of
designs for new doors, including traditional ones.

Thanks for your post. Unfortunately, new ones don't quite fit the style I'm
after (1930's doors look a bit down-market compared to Victorian ones, in
most peoples' eyes). The only new door I could find with the panel
arrangement that would suit was priced over £400, unglazed. A 1930's one
with nice original leaded panel can be had for £250, and fits style of house
better- and is less likely to warp. But its probably weaker, if I have to
bodge one that has been hung the other way...
