Description
These McGloughlin factory doors date to 1965, as per the name plate visible, and were interior roller doors in a factory in Dublin.
The pictures show the condition and the quality of both the wood and the metal on these doors are likely to be second to few.
They could have a new life in a trendy apartment or even an art gallery or collector’s venue housing art works.
We will not do anything to them to preserve their patina as these doors were made by the same people that made the gates to Leinster House
