Lockshop/Maintenance Wait Chapel Restoration Project

After more than 70 years of wear, the original chapel doors were carefully repaired and refinished—restoring their historic character while preserving their integrity. The process required hundreds of labor hours, including removing old wood putty, reconditioning dried-out panels, and addressing decades of buildup from hands pushing the doors open. Each door took over eight hours just to clean before staining and sealing could begin. The result is a beautifully restored finish that honors the craftsmanship of the past and ensures durability for years to come.
