Main door to the former Printing Works on Darnley Street in Pollokshields, Glasgow. Designed by D.B. Dobson and built in 1902, the snake-headed hinges at the bottom of the door are a particularly nice touch.

A beautiful Art Deco style door handle on a Modern Classical commercial building on Saint Vincent Street in Glasgow City Centre. Constructed in 1931, it was designed by Frank Burnet and Boston.

This is a beautiful little detail on the door of Glasgow University's Graham Kerr Building. Designed by J.J.Burnet and built in the 1920s, it was originally constructed as the Zoology Building.

Love these ornate hinges on the 1860s former Foundry Boys Religious Society Church on Tharsis Street in the east of Glasgow.

Love this ornate hinge on the Gothic style Partick East Free Church (now Dowanvale Free Church) in the west of Glasgow. Designed by Alexander Petrie, it was built in 1880.

Love this ornate knocker on the main door of Glasgow Cathedral, especially the little winged creature in the middle.

An old door bell plate from a townhouse in the Park District area of Glasgow, with separate buttons for Visitors and Servants. I've always presumed the Servants option was to be used to get the attenton of the servants of the house (for deliveries etc) rather being for servants to ring.

Love the shape of this door handle, as well as the patina and wear on it. It's on one of John James Burnet's grand late Victorian townhouses on University Gardens in the West End of Glasgow.

I spotted this old door bell on a Victorian townhouse just of Byres Road today. These bells usually came in pairs, one for tradesmen and delivery people to call the Servants, and another one marked Visitors for those coming to see the owners. In this case, the Visitors bell is missing, but the Servants one is still there.

I love the inscription around this old door bell on a rather grand townhouse in the West End of Glasgow. Apparently, this was once a common feature of door bells, and was even parodied by A.A. Milne in Winnie the Pooh. However, this is the only surviving example I've ever come across in Glasgow.

Love these door handles on a townhouse on Saint Vincent Street in central Glasgow. The house itself was build in the 1820s, but I think these are Art Nouveau in style and date from refurbishments in the 1890s.

Love the shape of this door handle on Glasgow University's West Medical Building, which was designed by James Miller and was built in 1903. The patina on it is pretty good, too!

Love this Art Deco style door handle on a former bank building on Dumbarton Road ib the Partick area of Glasgow.

Love these curvaceous Art Nouveau door handles on John Keppie's 1903 Early Renaissance style building at 518 Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. MacKintosh seems to have contributed elements to this building, and these certainly seem to have a MacKintoshesque feel to them.

I love this Art Nouveau style stained glass door window on Fitzroy Place in Glasgow.

Love this door handle I came across in the Park District in the West End of Glasgow.

Treasurer of Police Letterbox on a door to the 1880s Glasgow City Chambers. No matter how hard I try, I can't make out the top bit of writing.

Night and Day door bells on the 1913 former Glasgow and West Of Scotland College of Domestic Science on Park Avenue in the West End of Glasgow. I'm still trying to work out what sort of culinary emergency service they offered which required the presence of a night bell!

I was intrigued by this door bell on Loudon Terrace in the West End of Glasgow which seems to have been altered many times over the years. A bit of digging revealed it's been there for 125 years, and bears the name of George W. Sellars, a painter and decorator who lived at this address in 1899. He had two offices, one round the corner at 355 Byres Road (now occupied by a Waterstones bookshop) and another on West George Street.
