So the new door is finally installed. It is solid wood, 2 inches thick, it has iron doohickies and speak-easy windows, and my husband is finally happy.
UPDATE: For those of you who are asking, yes, if he could dig a moat around the house, he would definitely do it.
Just in time for the Labyrinth door knockers preorder.

Perfect
I bought them 10 years ago from Hot Topic. Granted not real metal, but it’s not the first time the laby knockers have been available.
Beautiful doors! Gordon has good taste in wives and castle like features! I vote for the most Gordon!
Moat moat – darn auto correct.
Yay, doors!
Such a Curran thing to be.
LOL. JUST LOL
Uhm, ok. I now get where the Rogan, Hugh and Curran fortification mania comes from. Lol.
Beautiful door thou
Lol
+1
Love that door and I vote yes to a moat!
Wow!!
I wonder, what does that sign say? The one on the station…..is it a warning?
I was wondering the same thing.
Me three!
It’s mentioned on one of the previous pages of comments. Basically, we’re working so don’t knock because the dogs will bark.
Krap and cheese doodles! …does that thing go to Narnia too?!?? ?
The doors are fantastic! My Hubby would build a moat around our house if he could and I would let him.
It’s very beautiful. Brings the Cutting Edge door to mind.
Beautiful!!!
aha! Creatively anachronistic, is he? You don’t need a moat, you need a dragon
They don’t need a dragon, they have a heard of Granddogs!!
Drawbridge next then?
Did someone say Moat?
MOAT!!!!
Second that!
I’m so envious – *beautiful* doors!!
Beautiful doors, waiting for moat.
Instead of putting the spackling on cardboard, you could apply it straight on your walls:

No wonder the doorhanger was a buff guy. Great doors though. I’m for a moat, but only if it has waterlilies. Lots of waterlilies. Ooops, shades of Roland’s water gardens.
Lol yes, those doors are very castlesque….. is that a word? If not, it should be.
*chants* Moat Moat Moat Moat
+1
Those are fabulous doors!
After seeing those gorgeous and regal doors, I have to agree with Gordon. Now, I even say go for the moat!!?
Those really are amazing doors, and they look fantastic! What a stunning entrance they make. I hope you are happy with them as well Ilona. ?
Gorgeous!
Yes, but its getting harder to find alligators and crocodiles to file it.
Sorry should be fill
Why does it look like the left side is a bit higher, than the right?
Sorry, maybe it`s just the picture and I am a bit mental about perfect fittings for a new door, and you new door looks just so GRAND!!!, but it DOES seem a bit out of water…
Sorry again…
nonetheless enjoy and start digging…

They are in the south. They don’t want a moat. Moat = water = Mosquitos. Now the dragon sounds great.
They just need a moat with moving water. Like an endless pool in a circle. Float around the house in a raft. That would be fun.
I know a guy who builds dragon couches if you are interested.
Infinity pool with an arching bridge over it? Exercise, feels defensive and looks good! Lol
Incredible, I am envious.
Was the Basic idea „Me Home is my Castle ?“ or did i Miss something?
I too really wanna know what the little sign says but those are gorgeous doors. Just love em.
And my Dad would totally go w the moat as well. He’s had to settle for burglar bars on all the doors and windows. Pesky HOA.
00hhh, pretty pretty, doing the …
They are gorgeous doors. Are they double doors on the outside? I’m also curious about the sign. Peace and blessings to everyone.
Love the door, it’s beautiful! I’m jealous, my builder grade one just doesn’t cut it.
Lifegoals… so cooL. Go you!!
Just watch sudden temp changes: that night where it went from a 90F day to 45F within a few hours caused our solid wood door to warp to the point that it popped open in the middle of the night (even with the deadbolt engaged). Our very elderly cat escaped. We eventually found her, but not before she sustained substantial kidney damage. Looks gorgeous.
To quote Sean ‘it’s Nice’’
My Mom had a very solid door too.it was on her Silver Smithing shop door for many years..then she put it on her work shop house, on our farm.I will get you a photo…..same idea….but….one day when it was on the shop
robbers came in through the ceiling of the auto parts shop next door, and her Two German Shepard’s Siegfried and Siegrrieda scarred them and delayed them and the Anacortes Cops got them….yeahhhhhh….true story
That door is fabulous. It projects “Knock on me at your peril” perfectly.
I don’t know, if I was Gordon I would start treating solicitors like the french guy in Monty Python Holy Grail. Start referencing other movies like who frame roger rabbit ,”What’s the password” . Things like that. There are so many dad joke opportunities. I am envious.
Now THAT’S a gorgeous door! I wouldn’t want stagnant water from a moat though. Texas is way too hot for standing water!
So funny. Enjoy your new door!
So, do the external doors function?
Yes. I close them at night.
Most impressed with the doors wonderful
So you are prepared for the shift from tech to magic in 2024? Good work! Maybe a wall, too?
Good job! It certainly projects an attitude, and I mean that in a good way.
Beautiful door! I showed this post to my husband. He said: yeah, I like it 🙂
Very gothic/medieval – I heartily approve. Gordon has good taste.
And +1 for a moat (with of course drawbridge). 😉
Have you considered incorporating arrowslits in the external brickwork either side to really give it the “repel all boarders” vibe. 😉 😉
I love the door. Hopefully the overhang will prevent the boiling oil from splashing on the lovely finish when repelling unwanted door to door salespersons.
