Wow! What a lot of security – such thick wood, such huge hinges, and so many metal studs … for a door that you could squeeze underneath if you were halfway fit!
You can see how strong the malleable iron that the hinges are made of is … while the doors are obviously sagging, the metal hinges are still straight as dies. Any of the malleable iron hardware that comes from our site is just as strong.
So they are still making them like they used to! This door is on the Palais des papes, in Avignon, France.
