We hunt for century-old doors and repurposed frames to give every home in Bengaluru a history it can call its own. ## Photos and videos - [Video: We are obsessed with doors. This is a collection of some of our favorite repurposed vintage doors, from intricately carved frames to rustic, weathered beauties that add so much old-world charm to a new space.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/b670fa99-9aca-4460-a426-da6782820ead) ## About Character & History: Vintage Doors & Entrances Finding the right vintage door is only the first step. The real work lies in the retrofitting process; we often have to rework century-old timber frames to meet modern security standards and custom wall thicknesses without losing the original patina or the unique character of the wood. Integrating a century-old door into a modern floor plan is an engineering challenge as much as an aesthetic one. Whether we are salvaging an intricately carved entryway from an old Chettinad home or rescuing weathered teak frames from local demolition sites, we treat every piece as a precious, non-renewable resource. **Why Reclaimed Wood Matters** New, factory-made doors often lack the density and tight grain of old-growth timber. Old wood has already lived and breathed—it has expanded and contracted through decades of seasons, meaning it is far less likely to warp in the fluctuating Bengaluru climate once it is installed. **The Process of Adaptation** We often source doors that do not fit current wall dimensions. Instead of cutting them down and losing their proportion, we build around them. We might extend a frame with salvaged wood or install sidelights using matching grain patterns to integrate a narrow vintage door into a grand entryway. **What You Can Expect** - **Refinishing:** We strip old layers of lead-based paint to reveal the natural teak or rosewood grain underneath. - **Security:** We reinforce these vintage frames with modern, concealed locking mechanisms so you get the old-world charm with current-day safety. - **Hardware:** We source antique brass fittings or hand-forged iron latches to ensure every detail feels authentic to the period of the door. If you are renovating, do not settle for a generic flush door. Let us help you find an entrance that greets your guests with a story. ## About Masons Ink We are Masons Ink, and we believe walls should breathe.
