Depends on the system. Some houses are built with a cold air return in nearly every room and certainly in the bedrooms. So the door can be very tight.

I want the doors in my house to just rub the top of the carpet (door bottoms are smooth) and I don't have cold air returns in the bedrooms. Bedroom doors are normally open in my house. Works just fine for me.

Do you mean "you're" as in "you are"?

Jack, I have been a commercial, AGC rated master carpenter for over 40 years. I have never, and I have never seen a door bottom cut with a router. I have seen them cut by many other methods. A router would be absolutely the last tool I would have gotten out to do the job. Do you still need to score the veneer to prevent splintering with a router bit? When I have cut borrowed lite and grille holes with a router and template, I have always scored the veneer on the cross grain cuts, what have you found?
