A modern, well-installed interior door perceptibly changes the feel of a room. An old, solid wood painted door from the 80s, with worn hinges that scrape the floor and a loose handle, immediately lowers the perceived quality of the space. Replacing it with a modern lacquered MDF or multi-laminate door with adjustable hidden hinges and a quality handle costs a reasonable amount and will last another 30-40 years without seasonal movement or the need for periodic varnishing. Changing handles is the most aesthetically profitable upgrade. A new mid-range quality handle (chrome-plated or lacquered steel) changes the door's perception and lasts 20-30 years without issues. For bathrooms and bedrooms, handles with a simple interior lock. For exterior doors leading to a patio or terrace, we recommend a quality lock cylinder if there's a risk of intrusion.
