No, not yet, that is the sole sales picture i have, it should arrive next week, many pictures then.
Thank you, please do as I find it a great idea. Incorporating it may be a challenge if the weight written on the door is anything to go by.

That is awesome.
And a piece of history too.
A definite statement piece! What a fantastic piece of history to have in your new house.
I hope you haven’t got teenage kids?
My three can rattle the tiles off the roof with the force they close our ‘ordinary’ wooden doors. Christ knows what damage they could do slamming that monster with their usual aplomb…
That is very cool! (And I assume will require a substantial doorframe to cope with it!)

Happy to share. i have one or two other heavy weight bits of furniture.
The history part is big for me,i have a pal on another forum, EX RN, his first ship was Happy H.
And no kids, i settled down too late to start that business.

Yes from Trinity Marine, I shall "Never" bang my head lol,
Nice that you can lock it to so as to prevent any unwanted intrusions ........................
That is very cool! I used to have a HMS Hermes zippo back when I had a collection. Wish I still had it seeing that, would have sent it to you.
Please update with pics when it's fitted.
The lighter would have been very cool, the fitting will be a while off, first i have to design and fag packet specify the frame i think it will need to fit in an opening i haven't made yet, devise a support system and suitable foundations for the timber floor it casts a shadow across,then will come stripping, blasting priming and two pack, brass work to polish and or remake as required. Next will be lifting moving and fixing.
I have a habit of doing this to myself. Both these came up a flight of stairs to my back garden
I Did have one of these to help. since gone but will be buying a new one for the new project
If you're going to polish the brass locking handles either outsource it or purchase a polishing wheel and learn how to use it and the polishing compounds. I have previously posted about some of the portholes, ships lights, oil lamps and a bell that I've restored and can be seen in THIS thread. Metal polishing is as boring as hell in my humble opinion but you can get great results. Lacquer any brass you polish.
Will bookmark that thread thanks
You have a problem, but it's a very very good sort of problem.The lighter would have been very cool, the fitting will be a while off, first i have to design and fag packet specify the frame i think it will need to fit in an opening i haven't made yet, devise a support system and suitable foundations for the timber floor it casts a shadow across,then will come stripping, blasting priming and two pack, brass work to polish and or remake as required.

I bought a bulkhead light from Trinity Marine and use it to light my bike shed.
They sell some pretty cool stuff.
Love the door!
OT thought - can you slam doors in one of there new fangled 'air tight' houses?
My house was built in 1936. Our doors are solid wood. They slam, believe me…
Quirky well made stuff = Trinity Marine

Don't trap your fingers with it! Cool as f*** though, many congratulations
A mate of mine had a couple of genuine Winson Green HMP cell doors for sale recently. They had been replaced during a refurb.
Thats brilliant, can almost smell the diesel!
