Apartment therapy asked three experts how they would update a front door: a home staging specialist, a contractor, and a real estate agent. As you might guess, the contractor would rebuild the door for maximum durability, while the others offer quick fixes to make your door look better for a minimum expenditure in order sell the house. Read what they have to say about making your front door look its best.Here's an Instagram account you might enjoy if you want to see some really locely front doors: Exploring for Doors. #door #frontdoor

The Mother-in-Law Doors of NewfoundlandA strange architectural feature that gets noticed a lot in the Canadian province of Newfoundland is an exterior door placed rather high above the terrain, yet has no stairs leading to it. Once you've seen one of them, you can't help but notice example after example around Newfoundland. There is even an Instagram account dedicated to documenting such doors. Why would anyone install a door that would be so difficult to access and dangerous to exit? Ask any local resident, and they will tell you that's the door you show unwanted guests, hence the name "mother-in-law door." Either they won't come in, or if they are leaving, they won't come back.

Kinetic Scissor Door by Dekay's Craft is a Multi-Hinge Cabinet Door That Splits and 'Fold' OpensYoutuber and woodworker Dekay’s Crafts built the “Kinetic scissor door” that uses a series of folding pieces to open in a unique way. Common wooden doors usually open with a single hinge or a sliding rail, but this door takes it up a notch. Dekay’s scissor door splits up into 6 different pieces as it opens and comes back into a flat panel when closed.This unique door uses 6 hinges that allow the complex movement of the 6 pieces to reassemble when opening and closing the door. Diagonal cuts at 45 degrees across can be seen with an aspect ratio of the door being 2:1.Anyone familiar with Klemens Torggler’s Evolution door from 2013 may recognize this format. Instead of a simple door that swings or slides, Both Torggler’s and Dekay’s doors split and fold. There is really no benefit in constructing such but it is visually appealing and much more interactive.#Door #Woodwork #KineticScissorDoor #DekaysCrafts #SplittingDoorVideo Credit: Dekay’s Crafts
