Hi All,

Below is a picture of an internal door in my house - I need one just like it. I can find the same looking door but struggling to find the same colour.

Today I bought a door from Wickes named "Oak Belize Door". It is a lighter shade but I wasn't sure if it was just my eyes playing tricks so I bought it just to check. Picture below:

Can you tell me, what colour door do I have currently and any idea where to find it? Part of the issue is I am not even sure what the door is called, e.g. has this style got a special name? Struggling and I need it for next week ideally.

Thanks everyone

It will go the colour of the one behind, when you oil/varnish it. Sunlight too will darken it up over time.

Thanks I didn't realise I had to treat it. There's about 20 doors in the house like this so just assumed they were bought off the shelf

Can you tell me what oil to use?

I know I can just rub this on with a cloth so hopefully it's not too difficult as I'm rubbish with this type of thing!

Danish oil will work, but it stinks, lots like varnish, I just used OSMO hard wax oil and it didn't lift the veneer on any of the doors I coated.

If you are playing safe, varnish is probably best bet.

Good luck, you will be busy:)
