Odd Sized door - and extra wood added

Hi

Reading through various posts on odd sized doors whichis the problem i have. IVe got a carpenter coming to have a look at the work i need doing and i explained that one of the doors is not standard - 28 and just over a half - said he could cut down a 30in door but that that was a lot to cut off or dependent on if i was staining or painting i could buy a 27in door and add the extra bit - Ive had a 30 in door cut down before and dont liek the look of it as it does look slightly strange so was wondering if anyone out there in DIYnot(land) has done this and if you are happy with the results also has anyone just stained the door and if so was the added bit of wood noticeable?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

28.5" is a 726mm metric door, these doors are an industry standard and widely available, how high is it? 2040mm?

Hi freddymercurytwin ive already looked at this site - my doors are 75 inches (190.5cm) high and just over 28.5 inches (728.5cms) - although the length is too long i gather i could get away with the 726cm - mind you the door Im measuring was fitted very well so I guess when the carpenter comes in he might suggest the same as you - i hope.

Anyway thanks for the information.
