I'm looking for entry way doors that were stolen from my home. The picture is attached. Does anyone have 113h x 52w doors for sale or know of anyone that would make a replica of the doors in the photo? Those were the doors that were stolen.

    How did this happen?  Was it an outside or an inside job?  Are you saying somebody without keys or authorized access drove up and entered your house by a window or another door, opened the front doors from the inside, unscrewed the hinges, loaded the doors in to a truck and drove off without alerting any neighbors or residents?
    My neighbors here at the Brooklyn Navy Yard makes new doors like those as a specialty, but they also do all types of architecural woodwork interior and exterior.  I highly recommend Omar and Belda.  Artwoodcrafts@gmail.com

    Yes that is EXACTLY what I'm saying someone without keys drove up and entered my house through those door undoubtedly and loaded them up. I have my suspicions as to who did it but the case is still open. Thank you so much for your reply! Do you have a phone number for them?

    Looks like you were in the process of refininshing them...   No ransom note yet?
    Brownstoner should run a service similar to the Art Loss Registry where stolen architectural elements, such as gates and, WTF! doors could be kept on file.  A reader might come across them at some salvage yard.

    That's so awful!  You could try Demolition Depot in Harlem or Armighini Architectural in Jersey City.  Both have fairly detailed web sites.

    apparently, door thefts used to be pretty common back in the day. less so now. today they go for the gates and fencing. i watched obne morning as a white van was stealing gates on my block. they are very efficient and most people think that these guys are doign something legal.

    Also check Eddies - Grand and Greene, and Olde Good Things.

    South Slope Woodworks makes doors like that - thought I've not used them.

    Aside from having them custom made ($5-10,000) the arch at the top is going to be hard to find.  Here's where I got my door....great prices and nicely sanded....this pair is close...give him a call

    We purchased a set 18 months ago which we can't use.  Similar design and size.  If interested call me at 718.783.3189 for viewing.  We're in Fort Greene.
