A modern, well-installed interior door noticeably changes the feeling of a room. An old, painted solid wood door from the 80s, with worn hinges that scrape the floor and a loose handle, immediately lowers the perceived quality of the space.

Changing handles is the most aesthetically cost-effective improvement. A new handle of medium quality (chrome-plated or lacquered steel) changes the perception of the door and lasts 20-30 years without problems. For bathrooms and bedrooms, handles with a simple internal lock. For exterior doors leading to a patio or terrace, we recommend a quality cylinder lock if there is a risk of intrusion.
