Quality work there geezer, I’ve fitted loads of these doors and never thought of doing this 👍

[@LTWCarpentry]

Nice one Darren ! Give it a go mate, they look really good when done ! 🍻

[@lucas47817]

Quality work, been a carpenter for 8 years luckily never had to do this, if i ever have to i will remember this technique. Proper stuff

[@LTWCarpentry]

Cheer for the comment buddy, no I hadn’t had to do it before this, the customer asked me to just cut the bottom of the door off but I really wasn’t happy doing that, this was actually fairly straight forward to do mate 👍🏻

[@LTWCarpentry]

I’ll have to see if I get one come up mate, either that or a damaged one. I’ll see if I can get a damaged one to do a video on mate.

[@VeeDuggie89]

Hi, fantastic vid, clear and easy to follow ( even though I've not actually tried it😂). How do you tackle a door frame thats crooked? In essence, i need to remove 2 mm at the top and bottom BUT about 8 mm in the middle😮. Is there a method to remove the excess from withing the door frame?

[@allisterblackwell643]

Tidy job that mate 👍 where’d you get that Stanley saw used at 5:30?

Cheers Chris, really appreciate that mate 🍻

[@chrismcandrew1041]

Well, I’m just a serious DIYer and your video helped me a lot. Finished the cut down, presently hanging it. I particularly liked the wax stick trick, where you hide the small imperfections. I’d never heard of that! I’ve now ordered mine and can’t wait to mask the tiny gaps. Clear audio too. You deserve an Oscar 😂

[@LTWCarpentry]

@@chrismcandrew1041 that’s awesome mate ! Really glad I could help ! Yes that wax stuff is a life saver at times I can tell you ! Keep me posted with how it comes out !

Hi do you have any videos on reducing the same type of door but reducing the width by 50 mm 25 mm both sides ?

[@LTWCarpentry]

Hi buddy I don’t I’m afraid but yes thats what I would do, I would take out 60mm each side then add 10mm of oak lipping back on each side.

[@brianmitchell8966]

@@LTWCarpentry thank you for your reply, I will have a go at it.

[@tmwoodhams]

Great idea! I recently had to fit a painted one of these doors that was 1850mm high. I got quotes from XL and other suppliers. It would have cost around £300-£350 for 1 bespoke factory door and had a 21 week lead time! The price was one thing, but the lead time was too much.

[@LTWCarpentry]

Yes mate unfortunately that’s the reality of bespoke stuff !

[@jimpak1786]

Lovely job 👏, what was the wax you used on the gap please, thanks for sharing 👍

[@LTWCarpentry]

Thank you very much buddy, they are called wax filler sticks buddy, google will give you results 👍🏻

[@leed3496]

Great video . I wonder if you could give me a little advice, got to trim down a oak veneer door past the allowance I can takeoff 9 mm from the bottom but i have got to take off 30 mm i’m not sure how these doors are put together at the bottom are they hollow inside? If so, I could put a bit of batten up at the bottom does anybody have any ideas what I could do?

[@LTWCarpentry]

Hi Lee, no they are not hallow mate, there as solid core chipboard, you should be fine to cut it down no worries, only thing to consider is it will take on monster if I a wet area, it might be worth putting a thin lipping on the bottom. Hope that helps

[@leed3496]

Thank you for getting back to me that’s really helpful cheers my friend. 👍

[@leed3496]

Quick question, are these oak veneer doors easy to repair if they’re scratched?

[@LTWCarpentry]

@@leed3496 not that easy, you can use a damp cloth and an iron to try and raise the grain but depends on how deep the scratch is mate.
