I have to fit some interior doors, the frames are a variety of sizes. In some cases I will need to take off around 23mm of the left/right sides of a 762mm wide door.
We got some cheap doors from b&q and I soon found out that the amount that you can plain from the sides is very small. I says 4mm on the pack but I figured this was conservative. It was but there still isn't enough wood at the sides to plain off 23mm......
I even looked at the solid pine doors, the pack of those said only 5mm could be taken off which doesn't quite make sense to me. Those doors are £20 more too.
So, do moulded doors vary from place to place? ie, some have more solid wood at the sides than others?
