Abstract
Original timber doors are an important aspect of the character and authenticity of a Scottish home. Their proportions and positions, together with the detail of mouldings and paneling are important elements in the significance of a building. Due to the nature of their continual use, being moving parts of a building, they are also subject to significant wear and tear. This INFORM guide give a brief history of Scottish doors, explains door construction, the recognition of faults and offers direction on suitable methods of repair.
