Hi all,
We’re doing a project that requires us to replace existing doors with FD30 doors. We have some nice glazed Worcester style doors downstairs but they have been trimmed down to 754mm. Apparently all the off the shelf FD30 equivalents have tiny trim allowances (4mm per door) so a 762mm door can only be reduced to 758mm overall. If necessary is it acceptable to put a 4mm rebate in the door liner to get these to fit? Having bespoke doors made looks to be literally double the price, so apparently I'm looking at at least £1,500 extra and several months wait if I can't solve the problem.
I can't see an issue with this as long as the doors have plenty of hinges and I use decent screws, but wanted to see whether others have done this.
