had a nice day fitting some doors on a museum yesterday, listed building so all the old ironmongry had to be reused, 8 bolts on that door

4 big tower bolts and 4 security bolts( the ones with a star key)
putty windows= pain in the butt

i hope they last 100+ years like the last ones

Restoration can severely tax your patience but in the end it's rewarding to know you saved that particular object from the skip.
Nice job

Nice doors, I bet doing the job on a listed building was a pain though!
