For external doors most definitely yes! Copper has unique characteristics and is beautiful, like anything it depends on where you apply it.

Double door or nothing I reckon! A single door pantry makes everything feel so cramped and that there's hardly enough space for my groceries.

I'm looking for a door lock suitable for a cavity slider that can be locked/unlocked from either side regardless of what the other side is. Sounds confusing???? Let me try and explain, and please see attached photo... we have a cavity slider between our main bathroom and our guest room (Bedroom 4), like a Jack n Jill bathroom or a Poor Man's Ensuite as they're sometimes known by, and I need a lock for it so that if there are guests they can have the door locked from their side but if someone else uses the bathroom it can also locked from that side.

So we are slowly working to tidy/renovate our house. We are not aiming for white/ultra modern but trying to retain some of the original features (like the dark beams). I have visons for much of the house but still not clear on what do to with these doors. I like the idea of doors opening to the room from the entrance but as you can see, with the sofas it's a pain and restricts the space - with a gap behind one door and the other just hanging open. I can close one to the wall behind the sofa but when little folk go to bed we tend to close it to keep noise down. So I thought about folding but not sure they are OK or not. We could do sliding but we already have glass sliding doors on the other side so it might look odd? Thoughts? The other thing is we dont have as many door options in New Zealand and we.dont have a huge budget. Any thoughts? Thanks
