[quote=Anonymous]We just bought a 1930s colonial in DC with very few renovations made on it over the years. The entry hardware is not particularly functional, and there are a 2-3 deadbolts. The peephole has been sealed. We plan to put in a new handle and deadbolt and paint the door red. We'll have to remove one of the extra deadbolts and open a new peephole. I suspect because of age, it is probably a full wooden slab, but I'm not 100% sure. Questions: 1) How can I be sure it's a full wood slab? 2) If 1) is true, should that make me more inclined to keep it? (Even if it has some minor cracks inside the panel portion)? 3) Does it make more sense to patch the hole from the excess deadbolts and repaint? Or just get a brand new door altogether? Thanks!
