A simple back door refresh

We recently finished the external side of our back door which involved painting the gutters, eaves, fascia and making a brick step. The room was previously a laundry which we've since converted to a home office.

Details of what we used:

Door: Hume Entrance Door Clear Glass

Door Paint: Dulux Exterior Weathershield Semi Gloss Vivid White

Door Step Paint Colour: Colorbond Woodland Grey

Gutter Paint Colour: Colorbond Woodland Grey

Eaves Paint Colour: Dulux Natural White

Door Handle: Lemaar Satin Chrome Metz Entrance Set

Deadbolt: Lane Satin Stainless Steel Single Cylinder Deadbolt

Door Seal: Raven Anodised Automatic Weather Door Seal

Hello @homeinmelbourne

Thank you so much for sharing your photos and the materials you used for your back door refresh project. That makeover looks great and the new door makes the entrance look so much more modern. The addition of the louvre in your window is a very nice touch. I see your four-legged friend has taken over the office.  

Again, thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful project.

Wow @homeinmelbourne,

You really made your back door entrance FRESH! Simple changes and a little paint goes such a long way. Well done.

This is stunning. 
We have this same door but the previous owner did not oil it or paint it so I’m not sure it can be saved it seems good though. 
We are about to do this as a project so it gives our door a goal. 
It’s a great post it looks amazing.

Feel free to start a new discussion about your door @Mishmash. I trust our helpful members will have plenty of advice on restoring it.

I will take some pics but it has a metal framing and I need help with it I’ve never seen anything like it previously so I’m unsure what to do.

it also needs a new foot plate replaced but  not sure I can get it out. 
it’s sadly does not seem  great workmanship or maybe the workmanship for that time period I would think at a guess. 
but I for sure need help. 
I will post pics next post. 
Thank you all for your support it’s such a great community, and I’m thankful for the help and support. 
I was going to rip it all out and put bi fold doors in but due to lack of builders in our area ( rural) i’ve had to adapt the situ and thinking here..
