Hello all,
I have a different type of question regarding the interior door job I am about to do. Thanks for the tips on pricing, they were all helpful.
On some of the doors the jambs will be very difficult to remove and replace due to risk of damaging intricate plaster work. (curvy, artsy, incredibly old and fragile.) So I will need to take a blank 6 panel door slab and fit it. I am able to route out for the hinges, but I was looking for some tips on ripping or planing the width to fit. In my experience, the slabs are a 1/4" wider than the prehungs. And I will be buying slabs. On some doors, the width is over 1/2" narrower than the slab. I know that I can only rip off so much before the whole thing will get weak. How do you guys do it and have it look nice clean?
Thanks,
Mike Angelini
