need: flat blade stirrer, flat brush, roller or cloth.
2 coats minimum.
Surfaces to be coated must be dry and free from all dirt, dust, grease
or polish.
Timber Floor Wax should be stirred thoroughly before and during
application with a flat blade stirrer taking care not to introduce
bubbles.
Apply a coat of Timber Floor Wax to the timber with a brush, roller
or cloth. Ensure the surface is evenly covered.
Once first coat is thoroughly dry, any grain raise can be removed by
lightly sanding with 240 grit sandpaper, being careful not to sand
through the coating.

BOTH ROOMS GENERALLY
why.did.they. strip the japanese black off the rim.
this is the best kind of replacement if I had to (and I dont and I wont)
The TRADCO RIM LOCK SKU: 2013 here
is a high-quality, durable door lock designed for both security and aesthetic appeal. The dimensions of 155x105mm suggest a moderately sized rim lock suitable for various door types.
Dimensions: 155x105mm – This size makes it versatile for different door sizes and types.
mine are H. & T. VAUGHAN locks from two different eras. one older than the other.

WINDOWS
CURTAINS FOR BOTH BEDROOMS:
it doesn’t ALWAYS have to be 20″ above your window, literally just under the ceiling, but go at least 1/2-2/3 the distance towards the top to help your ceilings look as high as possible. It’s not just the better way to hang your curtains but at this point we have a ‘cultural height’ of where your curtain rod line should be, the height where we as a collective people are used to seeing it, and if you get too close to the window sill, and if you have a lot of space to play with, it just stands out in your room. Lift the rod, which lifts the eye which makes your ceilings look higher and your space bigger.
Another common mistake is not having the rod wide enough, on both sides of the window, so that your curtains are forced to be hanging partially in your window, blocking light and making the window look smaller (thus making your room feel smaller). Extend the rod at least 6-10″ on either side of the window frame (if you have the space) so that when the curtains are pushed totally open you can see almost all of the window.
https://stylebyemilyhenderson.com/blog/hanging-curtains-all-wrong
Re curtains: length to floor:
1. The slight float – Less than an inch above the floor. If you want to hang your curtains without any break at all, so they hang totally straight then the float is the best option for you. It doesn’t touch the floor, but only just barely.

option 1
PAX wardrobe – this is in oak finish
you can chose brass knobs
this one is 100 x 60 x 236 (wardrobe frame)
TONSTAD door 50 x259cm veneer glass x 2 ie covers 1m across in total
plus closing hinges, glass shelves and trays etc inside.
possible solution: can I have the frame attached as a hack solution or a custom frame attached to hold a pair of these doors to cover the security boxes.
Wardrobe frame, white, 100x58x236 cm
-the base would have to be chopped up to allow for the power points or some kind of custom base BUILT to provide the reinforcement
-the right side of the frame would have to be cut down to not exceed 350 MM and then a further 180MM to accommodate the security box and the frame back would need to be cut down.
-is it going to just be easier to have someone construct a custom frame that can have ikea wardrobe doors hung from it.
