History Friday | If These Doors Could Talk...

Take a closer look at these beautiful old doors and their intricate handles, locks, and keyholes… a far cry from the swipe cards, codes, and smart locks we often use today.

Each one tells a story — of craftsmanship, security, and the way people once entered their homes, businesses, and institutions. Some of these doors are incredibly heavy, made from solid timber, and built to endure — a true display of skilled workmanship.

The locks and keys were likely handcrafted by blacksmiths or early locksmiths, with every detail forged by hand — no mass production, just raw skill and time.

These photos capture a time when doors weren’t just functional, they were a statement — about the home, the owner, and the era.

Next time you walk past a heritage building, pause and look at the door. It might just open up a whole new way of seeing the past.
