I have to admit: the front door has seen better days. Probably about 26 years worth of them. It is scarred and scuffed and scratched. It isn't even a real front door (since it leads to an interior), so there's a bad draft in the winter that I will take care of when I get a lovely, new, half-glass door if I'm allowed to by the condo association. That said, it is definitely sturdier than the last two flimsy apartment entry doors, so that's good. Also, because it is my door, I was allowed to actually put double locks in for added security. My sister and brother-in-law bought me the lovely bronze doorknobs I put on my Christmas list, and some friends in the area were able to help me finally get them installed. They look very nice. They do not require horrible wrist contortions (and resulting pain) like the old door did. Even though there are two locks to unlock, it still takes less time than the old single lock. Since the light is burned out on our landing (has been since I first visited over a year ago), the dark bronze is almost invisible, like a ninja lurking in the shadows to keep me safe.
Okay, it's nothing like a ninja, but I think it's very nice.
