I saw this same knocker on a house a couple of streets over the other day and was wondering why I recognised it (presumed it was just from walking past it before)

Yes! You knock it’s head.

I just made the tv go outside, close the door and knock it’s head.

“WHO GOES THERE?” I say.

“. . . It’s me” he says, wearily.

Our inner front door opens inwards.

Front of the porch door opens outwards. It’s ridiculous as we gave to open it a bit and shout at people when they do deliveries etc Sorry! Door opens the wrong way…!

Inner front door

Outer door (outwards opening 🤷)

I reckon that’s very Victorian B&B/small hotel style front door

Love your doors, they remind me of my parents doors.

^Actual front door, which faces toward the street. Blue thing is a space hopper. Street number above the door cropped to foil stalkers. The pushchair partially in view fits through with just one half-door open. The bigger one, just out of shot, requires a full double opening. There’s a removable panel underneath the rectangular mat leading to the dungeon (which is actually just an under floor crawl space - could do with sending someone down there to do a survey to check for skeletons, really).

Re: the OP - there should also be a brush hidden behind that flap, but the postie knocked it out.

^Alternative front door, which is an internal door that opens inward, revealing another door six inches away (so just enough space to sandwich a human between them) that opens outward into the shared tenement close (aka stair/hall), totally blank on the side that faces the close (i.e. no handles), which makes it very secure, but a little standoffish toward the other residents using the shared close, I think (might remedy that one day). Has a different street address and even postcode to the other door, cos we’re on a corner and the first door is on one street, but the shared close opens onto the other street. The missing bunting flag is awaiting a fix - it got knocked off by the door catching it. Yes, it’s a crap photo. No, I will not turn the light on cos kids are sleeping. It’s a dressing up clothes tent. That’s a Hive thermostat, not an intercom - I do not wish to be enlisted to the intercom crew.

AOB?

Forgot to post this the other day when I got to the end of the thread.

New door, well February new but seeing as it has relatively little use and doors last very long it is new. The handle fittings move about a bit now so it might actually be broken. Taped to the door written on an envelope are completely useless instructions for the handle move/key turn combos. I almost always get stuck outside because I think my key is rubbish so I’m trapped indoors and can’t go out if I don’t know there will be someone to let me in. It is black on the outside and has a knocker. It is very well insulated. Yes, the hallway walls are bare and have been waiting a decade to be redecorated. No matter what post comes through the post always sounds heavy, so it is disappointing when all it is turns out to be a single letter.

Tl;dr I have a complex relationship with this door.
