The door (see link below) measures, width 91 cm by height 212 cm.

It needs to fit a door frame measuring, width 86.4 cm by 207 cm height.

To achieve this the door would need 2.3 cm removed from *each* side, plus it would also require a total of 5 cm removed from the height (perhaps from the bottom, or combination of top/bottom trim).

Was wondering if anyone knowledgeable about joinery would have any comments on this, such as, will the door still be structurally sound after this? Or since the rail on each side of the glazing would have to be trimmed by 2.3 cm on each side,how wide should such a rail remain to ensure adequate stability?

Thank you.
