Wanted: Swinging kitchen door
I'm looking for a swinging kitchen door from a Finnish coop in Sunset Park or a similar 1920s/1930s coop building. Dimensions should be 30x82 inches. Would love both the door and the mechanism. If you have one you'd like to get rid of or know where I can find one, please let me know: 718-636-9093.

I have one in my basement. I will measure it tonight and call if the dimensions match. It would mean coming to Bay Ridge to pick up.

Thanks, cantaffordcarroll. Definitely let me know, and Bay Ridge is no problem. Here's hoping....

If you don't come up with a door that works, swinging door hardware is available lots of places, including http://www.rejuvenation.com/ and http://houseofantiquehardware.com/

I also have both the door and hardware at my coop in Clinton Hill. Both have layers of paint on them, and I will double check the measurements, but the size seems right.

Aid---want to let me know when you have had a chance to check?
Thanks for the urls, vinca.

I measured--it's 30 by 80.5. Let me know if that is of any use.

We *think* that might work, cantaffordcarroll. You have the mechanism and the door or just the door? Is it single panel? And how much do you want for it? Mind if we come by to look at it? Maybe this weekend? Thanks!

It's a single panel door, no mechanism. No cost either. (I don't ever plan on using it and had it on my list to call sanitaiton to see whether any special arrangements were needed to chuck it.)

Are you around today so that my husband could stop by to take a look at it? We'd love to take it off your hands if it will indeed work in our space.

I am not around after work today. If late morning on Sun works, I can give you a call.

That's fine, thanks.
