The hardware on a front door says so much.

The type of hinges, the color may it be brass or bronze means a lot. And especially the lock set tells you something.

You can have a letter slot, you can have colonial fan glass, you can have Victorian glass that is half the door, or you can have craftsman glass on the top third of the door...even leaded glass which changes everything.

I have always thought the front door says more about the house than about everything else.

I know the thread was about door color, but I couldn't help myself.
