The decision was taken to remove both doors from the guards section of the HKB as both were worn out and in need of attention.
The doors had not been removed for more than 30 years and took some effort to remove.
Each door had to be dismantled back to the wooden frame and new timber sections were spliced in.
Both doors required extensive repairs to make them serviceable.
The doors were painted in primer and will be fully restored on the floor before being rehung onto the HKB.
The opportunity was taken to replace both drop lights (windows in car builders language) and the new drop lights were painted in primer.
The door lock sections of both doors required extensive surgery to repair damaged wood.
Once painted the doors looked like new. There will be another update on this site about the door restoration soon.
