Antique French Doors - 2 Sets
I am selling 2 sets of French Doors with Transoms which I have salvaged; totaling 4 French doors and 2 transoms with their respective original hardware still attached to them.
They are salvaged antiques, very old, painted white and I'm pretty certain they're made of pine. I wanted to save them for personal use, but they are taking up too much space, and I want them to have a very good home.
First set measures 83-1/2" x 24" x 1-3/8" for each door. A total of 10 panes per door. The transom on top spans both doors. The astragal is still there. The original ball point hinges are intact. The Flush Bolts are also intact. The original mortise lock and glass knob are intact. The knob actually turns! ALL glass is intact.
The second set measures 83-1/2" x 32" x 1-3/8" for each door. Total of 10 panes per door. The transom on top spans both doors. The astragals are still there. Yes, two astragals, don't know why. This door has one flush bolt intact. The original mortise lock is intact, but there is no knob. One door has one glass pane broken. The other door has one glass pane cracked. The transom has four of the five glass panes broken.
I can almost guarantee you will not find a complete set like this anywhere, short of demo-ing a house yourself.
All interested, email sale-pdggc-1263345866@craigslist.org.
$500 for each set. Cash only. Pick-up only.

The blue tape is there to protect the glass.

Did these by any chance come from an apt on the Upper West Side in the 80s? I've been in a building with exactly that configuration, trim, rooms. If you're the owner or building super, please be advised the apartment functions better with the original doors and is worth more with them.

These prices are crazy. Salvage doors usually run about $25 to $80. And one set has broken glass and no knob.
