Hi There, I'm after a little advice from those that know please.
I have an old internal door that I would like to hang. The door will act as a cupboard door to our central heating cupboard. The door matches all the others in the house, they're about 100 years old. The door frame which will surround the door is fine for width ( just have to plane off a couple of mm of the door on each side). The problem is the height of the frame - the door is about 3" shorter than the frame.
So I reckon I need to add a 3" tall rail to the bottm of the door. Problem is - whats the best way to do this? - Glue?, Biscuit Joiner? use a router to tongue and groove?. Someone has said they could lend me the biscuit joiner - I've not used one before but could have a practice. Also, I don't have a router ( but could borrow one) and have never used one.
Alternatively, becuase this is a cupboard door in one of the bedrooms, maybe I could attach a 3" rail to the floor, making the gap up?
Any ideas / help appreciated.
Many Thanks in Advance
