Hello Folks,
I have two solid slab doors that I recently bought. And due to the unusual size of the opening for the door I normally have to cut the slab door to fit. The problem is that sometimes I have to cut too much of the material, and most of these doors are simply filled up with particle wood. The following is a door that I installed recently, but did not to have to remove much material (probably 2" from the height [1" from bottom + 1" from top], and 1" from sides ):
Ready to cut:
Partially installed:
The next one (similar to this one shown above [ 6 panels ]) will need to have 8" removed from its height which seems much, and since it has panels it will have almost no smooth surface between the panels and its bottom and upper portion. I got these door for a low price and was trying to make the best use of them, but was wondering whether or not this would be an acceptable compromise in terms of looks.
thks
