Science and Dismantling a Vintage Door.

in #vintage5 years ago

It took us few minutes, to dismantle an old vintage door. It was fixed strongly in one of the room of my ancestors home at my native place. The door which is made up of pure wood and still looks very strong and heavy were unplugged with very less effort.

I refer it as Vintage as It is said to be fixed around 1970's in one of the outer room. Looking at the simplicity and the science behind to make such door is really appreciable. For any of us it looks like a just another 2-ply door which get easily shut only to not to open anyone wants. But the main thing is how simply the door is fixed on the wall.

Looking closely at the door main part, you will find a pure wood of 1970 and still very hard and strong. It has two Iron stucks fixed on top and bottom of each of the side. These Iron Sticks has actually a hook on each of the side that make the door to get fixed on the side bars. The iron which is fixed has a outer hook like this.

These hook has a special place, as it allows the doors to get fixed on the sidebars. Okay let me tell the science behind these doors. These kind of doors were assembled and easily fixed on the walls. It has two side bars and one bar on the top. We have Iron rings on the sidebars , and these side bars were fixed on the walls. Then the third bars with a iron hook on top. The top wooden bars keep the both sidebars strongly.

The door were then put into these sidebars. The use of iron hooks comes in use as those hooks were simply put on the iron rings of side bars. Locking it from both end. The door has than a Iron chain fixed on one of the side, which is actually a kind of lock.

These Iron chains were then put into the top wooden bars to lock the door from outside.

Looks complicated but it has the simplest of th door that were made in earlier days. Hardly any fixing issue. The adjustment is so simple that it took us hardly few minutes to dismantle. The first the doors were unplugged from the hook by pushing up. The the wooden bars were removed by breaking open the walls. Making it a 5 minutes affair.

Stay Calm....

I love vintage doors and hardware! The rustic nature of them is hard to beat! That and the fact that they just don't make doors like this anymore. This used to be the normal way of making them, now suddenly, it becomes only when you pay big bucks to make them look amazing!

Oh, the olden days were best for cool features. When did we stop making things that lived forever and changed to disposable everything?

Awesome post!

I hope you have a most amazing day!
