can you take that much off without knackering the door? (Chances are it'll fall to bits, which would be nice as its an external!
Firstly Rob's right; 2" is too much to take off a standard door...though yours could be outsized which would be okay...
And you wouldn't take it off one side becasue you'd have a unbalanced look to it...unless it's a featurless panel door. Which I doubt it is as it's external.
You take half off each side. Your quatro isn't the ideal tool...it's a light domestic-use only tool and not too good according to all the reviews of it I've read...but will just about do the job. I'd suggest cutting 7/8 off each side and finishing with a plane to take the remainder of the stock off and to allow you to level off the bevel that the quatro will almost inevitably leave you with.
The reason you shouldn't really be taking 2" off is because you run a very real risk of cutting into the tenons from the top, bottom and mid rails. Not good. Your door could disintegrate after a bad winter!
