The door, from Paul's home in Forthlin Road, Liverpool,
is up for auction as part of Christie's Out of the Ordinary sale on
September 3 and is expected to fetch around £8,000.
McCartney's family moved to the council house in 1956 and it is where
the band first rehearsed and where early hits including Love Me Do and I
Saw Her Standing There were written.
The door was removed when the house was refurbished in 1978 and has
passed through several hands before being offered for sale.
The Forthlin Road house, which was bought by The National Trust in
1995, is included on a tour of Beatle's boyhood homes along with the
house where Lennon lived with his Aunt Mimi.
Other items in the sale include a sword reportedly used at the
Battle of Hastings and a silver replica of Harrods that was made as a
result of a bet between the store's managing director and Selfridge's
owner Harry Gordon Selfridge.
