Hello all, I hope someone can help.
I am getting a front door fitted soon and to cut a long story short the door needs to made 2" longer to fit properly and I've already painted it up to it's final gloss coat. The door will also need a weather bar fitted as it's a front door. I want to get the door made to the right length and painted before fitting it for obvious reasons.
So, I was thinking:
Shall I add the 2" to the bottom of the door (glew+screw), make it flush and primer it then do the final coat all over. After which, a wooden weather bar can be fitted which will possibly hide any join?
Add the 2" to the top or bottom and get a metal weather bar?
Leave it all to the joiner but then i'd have to paint the doo after it's fitted which will be a right pain and it will probably rain for 2 weeks solid as soon as it's hung.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
