Hi guys
(Mods please move if in wrong section)
Have a bit of a problem I'm hoping some of you fine people can help with.
My door frames are non standard 77 1/4" x 29 1/4" throughout mostly apart from the kitchen which previously was modernised and the standard 80"x 30" has been used.
Had a mare trying to fit a door which non of them seem to allow more than 16mm to be trimmed and i need to take off 3 1/4" so this would expose the particleboard underneath.
Custom doors are out of the question with the price range they entail.
Question is this.
If i were to replace all my door frames with standard size jambs what work would this entail? Altering walls i imagine?
Another theory is to trim the door lining down to accommodate the standard size door. I'm not sure if this would weaken the frame too much and the hinge wouldn't sit well or worse just come away.
Any tips here would be helpful as i don't fancy tackling this one alone so i'll get some pro help in.
