I am getting 4 panel Oak Shaker Glazed doors for 3 downstairs rooms and to keep a theme would like the non-glazed one for the downstairs understair bathroom.
The one I have seen:
http://www.howdens.com/doors-joiner...s/internal-hardwood-doors/4-panel-oak-shaker/
is veneered particleboard and I note it says it is solid construction.
The bathroom frame width though is 700mm
Can 60mm be shaved from this door (3 each side)?
As it is apparently solid construction I am assuming yes?

Otherwise I am a lost as I cant find anything in the size I need

the normal is 5 to 12mm usually at the lower level

think off an iced cake or scotch egg they are solid but shave to much off the inside appears
in this case woodchip :rolleyes:
 
Got you - good analogy thanks.
I have found the 726mm version but these are 2040 height and doorframe is 1920 height so would need to cut 120 in height from them :(
 
how square is the frame ??
the next size down will givev7mm clearance that is quite a lot but compared to 2-3mm for a normal door clearance could you live with that its a pencil width??

Aah fair point.
Compared to the door that is there which has a ridiculously big space at the top I think we could live with that.

Is adding a thin strip to the door frame on either side to reduce the width a little feasible as well?

Still 3cm from the top and bottom :(

yes absolutey normal
providing you can add it and disguise it to your satisfaction
 
Many thanks for your patient help.
I can see some light at the end of the tunnel now!
Will look to get the 1981 x 686 and get an internal trim to reduce the gaps (or rather I will get someone to do it who knows what to do! :D )
