We've got a really weird door for second floor balcony - the previous owner build a plantation shutter on top of the door itself! So the whole thing is now an awkward situation - the lock is now dying cos of erosion caused by the rain for the past weeks, and the lock itself is so old there's no replacement to be found (other than a super expensive special order).
I'm hoping to get some ideas - should I get rid of this door altogether and replace it with a proper screen/security door + normal door combo? Is this something we can do ourselves? I'm kinda handy - I built the alfresco, a few planter boxes, a few workbenches and laundry benchtops, but I never actually worked with doors.
Or should I consult a professional? And how much that would cost usually? Do they pain the door as well?
Sorry for so many questions but I really are running out of ideas 🙁
Much appreciated ahead.
