Folks!

I’m sorry for my silence. I signed up for email alerts and didn’t receive any so I assumed no replies... Silly mistake.

Thanks for all your help and advice and I’m now quite well along with the project. - Though I’ve abandoned the hardwood door surround as too expensive and am now using CLS timber, cut to the appropriate size (or as near as damn it) and painted to match.

I’ve just received a replacement handle but I’m disappointed to find that it appears to be silver painted mild steel (or cast metal) and not of the quality or finish that I expected. So if anyone has a spare genuine door handle...! (And this one was sold as genuine).

The box without a door lying in a field is tempting but I think I have enough to be getting on with!

Thanks again.
