If you google Victorian Front Door, it shows a lot that look like the 3rd one. Try it and see if you agree! Amd I think it is the prettier of the 3 choices.

I agree, number three. It reminded me of the door to 221 B Baker Street in Sherlock Holmes.

Listen to Diana. I would do something like this.

It would help if we could see the house.

Ok, so I looked at your older posts. Please do not assault your lovely home with any of the doors you suggest above. Replace them with something similar to what was there.

I thought this was the most similar. The door was painted off white originally but I was thinking I'd paint it dark to match the windows... windows were like a bronze brown

IMO that new door is a very cheap looking wanna be of the original door google Victorian entry doors and you will see many that will help with the decision but if it was my house i would do custom door to suit the house and probably a steel door only because it eliminates plastic and is close to the finish on painted Victorian doors but less up keep

I've looked at custom doors and was quoted just over$6,000 a piece. I need 3 of these doors..... some of us are not independently wealthy.

Wow, seems high. I just had a new door (single ) custom with hardware (nice, but not the most expensive hardware) done for $2500. Also had a beautiful custom gate done with really nice hardware & stained for $1600 with installation. Guess I got a great deal! .... & I live in a pretty expensive area.... maybe more competition? Idk

I like the arch frame upper glass door since it most closely resembles the original. Hang in there - a great color (instead of the ivory blank) in your Victorian color scheme will do wonders for this door.

Is there a compelling reason you want to replace the doors? Have you spoken with a competent carpenter about repairing the existing doors instead of buying new?

I only have one original door. The other 2 were removed and covered with plywood by the previous owner.

That certainly qualifies as a compelling reason—good luck with your choice!

schultz, I agree with most, I don't really like any of the three for the Vic. I have three of those arched frame door,s as shown in the pic. They are on the carriage house, but I picked up a fourth just recently at a business called architectural salvage. I stripped it, salvaged the glass, reglued and restored the door and I figure I have about $225.00 dollars in it. That may be an option for you, not sure where you are located, but there are some beautiful doors at some of the salvage stores that specialize in vintage architecture pieces. Just trying to offer you some options. 'Im not paying 5k for a door either!

Schulzc,,,do you have any salvage stores in your area? Usually in cities w/a lot of these types of homes, they have a plethora of cast-offs. Perhaps you could root around and actually find something from the last century, or two, that you could use? A good carpenter could modify them to fit your space and I'm sure you could come well under that 6K price tag. (which, btw, is very high,,,you need to shop around).

Salvage would be great. But three doors to match? Good luck. Yes that $6000 was a quote from Home Depot. It was mind you the cheapest quote. At this rate I'm going to learn to build doors myself! My original question though was what type of door looks best the pictures were just for style not actual install.

Do they have to match? Are they all visible from the same angle? If they serve different purposes could the two new ones be different?

Home Depot is not the source for this. Try above suggestions and hunt for old door. Another tip is to contact door restoration people. Sometimes they either have a stock of doors (craftsmen and women can't resist collecting old stuff) and ask them if they know anyone who might have some of these doors. Btw, the don't all have to match. Good luck.

Schultz, three doors of the same type/style......that's not uncommon. Typically an architectural salvage house/business will go in and buy all of a house's contents, (doors from the same house typically the same or similar))scheduled for Demo, moving or change of use. Many times the baseboards and door casing are there as well.

agree. forget HD. People pick them because of the ease, not because it's the best choice. You could do the legwork yourself and save tons of money. Besides, none of the doors you showed us are anything to leave Earth for. So, I think you have your answer from most of us.

I never go to Home Depot or any other chain for home improvements. I always deal with independent companies for flooring, doors, etc.. . Better quality & service plus they're more knowledgeable about their products. For example, I contacted a custom door company for my entry door, a custom gate company for my gate.... great service & quality.
