Winslow Boy Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I'm tempted to say neither but and its a big BUT, will someone be in the doorway? If so I would say just one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted May 19, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Personally I like the one open Could you hinge them with some brass rod stuck to the edge of the door going into a hole giving you the option to do either, both or none Edited May 19, 2021 by chuffinghell 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winslow Boy Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Just as an afterthought. Until the provision of 'mass' produced window frames, where tolerances could be maintained it would have been usual to have well used doors such as these constructed with so much individual glass panes in them as it would have been subject to quite a bit of movement. Yes I know someone going to produce a picture proving me wrong but coming from a family of plumbers and glaziers I can remember being told this.

RMweb Gold Graham T Posted May 19, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 19, 2021 I'd go for one door open personally. Can I ask a question please? What did you use for the doorknob? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good practical point, but from what I remember of country pubs fitted with glazed porches, the door was opened for the morning session and propped open rain or shine. It was basically only used twice a day. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
