Traditional Victorian Design - Internal Door

Replicating the solid construction of a 4 panel internal door requires many skills, i take my hat off to the victorian joiners of the past who were able to make these.

Victorian Proportions

Wide base and lock rails with 125mm wide stiles

44mm Thick kiln dried poplar Frame

Liriodendron tulipifera - American Yellow Poplar / Tulipwood

A fine texture with a light cream to pale green appearance, often with vibrant purple and black features.

It is straight-grained,  fairly soft and light in weight around 510 kg/m³ when dried

Common tree grows up to and beyond 37m with a trunk diameter of 2m or more.

Traditional joinery construction

Stub tenon construction on the muntins (Central vertical components)

Through wedged mortice and tenon joints connect the rails to the stiles. Wedged with Oak.

Solid brass hinges 

High quality solid drawn brass ball bearing hinges - Quiet and smooth action 

3 per door

Morticed Sash lock

Long sash locks keep the door knob away from the jamb.

15mm Thick Poplar Ply Panels

Stable Ply panels set into grooves in the frame
