    It's a QTE 8.4GM in white. Small clear window in planked wooden door and frame.
    frame size 1010 x 2100 door size 926 x 2044

    It's taking a lot of space in the hall so needs to be collected asap.

    I have the same type of door and three years on we are still very happy with it.

    A couple of people have whispered their interest, thanks.

    I'll just leave it until tomorrow and see if anyone else is interested. Ideally we'll sell it by the weekend. I can email the exact spec to anyone who's interested.

    We're looking for best offer over £350 and hope to sell it today. The doorset cost £695 - it is complete, still in original wrapping and pretty heavy! It has letterbox, hinges, handle etc. Storm guard level cil.

    Shame about the letter plate, I might have had it otherwise but too much potential draughts and heat loss, sorry.

    Sorry about that Tony
    I added an insulated letter cage to the back of our door. Very chilly when you get the letters out so it seems to work.

    ''I added an insulated letter cage to the back of our door. Very chilly when you get the letters out so it seems to work.''

    I was just thinking the same. Very thick of me not to have thought of it years ago, which links to the '14 ways to save energy' thread, and the Q asked there - why don't people pick up on the blindingly obvious?

    I have in mind 6mm ply bonded to 25mm PU or XPS (depends on the offcuts I have!).

    What did you use?

    "What did you use?"

    I bought a ready made wire letter cage for speed and upholstered it in offcuts of insulation board and a fabric cover. I made a double layer inside the lid to give a snug fit.

    I sometimes think I should have upholstered the full door just leaving a gap for the handle.

    Nick - just make sure you have enough clearance to open the door fully without hitting any adjacent wall - a problem in narrow halls!

    Yep, I have the clearance!

    Update! This door for sale doesn't have the letter box or the handle/lock but the holes for them are in the door ready for this. It's ready hung so obviously has it's hinges, and their best low energy glazing. I'm sorry I got it wrong about the letter box and handles - I'm up north and the door is at my my sister's down south.
