What fails first
Salt pits hinges and threshold seals. Inland terraces still swell from solid-wall damp, which is a different fault from a coastal front door.
Getting the leaf there
Terrace streets are on-street only. Coastal front doors are often fitted from the garden side when the pavement is too narrow.
