Does anyone have any knowledge / experience regarding trimming Wickes internal pine doors. I’m thinking particularly of these:

https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-New...nal-French-Door-Panel---1981-x-591mm/p/208501

I would like to use 2 of these to create internal unrebated double doors but, according to my measurements and the dimensions quoted, I would need to trim up to 5mm from each panel (i.e. 2 to 3 mm from either edge). Do these panels allow such trimming ? I can't find any precise guidance on the Wickes web site, hence my question.
 
3mm either side should be fine (but email them to check).

The timber outer frame is normally a half inch to three quarters of an inch (or more).
 
Yes, you should be fine with that. Trimming tolerance is a really important specification. Why they don't publish it is mad.... I fit doors and given an option go for Deanta as they allow up to 16mm or so per side trimming (32mm total) which is great for old or wonky houses!
