Asian chef at my local real ale pub wants to fit a 30 inch door into a
33 inch frame. It used to be his back door until he got a conservatory. He tells me that the wider door is approximately twice the cost from the sheds, of a 30 inch one.What are his options? Locally manufacture door at 33 inches wide? Etc.
Dave
Absolutely. is it exterior door?
Use the 30" with 1 1/2" packing strips either side .. or multiples to
3" .. :)Frankly he's being a cheapskate and you might be better getting someone else in as there may be trouble ahead, whatever you do.
At the pub? Is it a fire exit or required for disabled access?
Brick up 33" hole.
Knock through a new 30" hole.

Tell him to get out of our country or pay for a professional job. He won't like either.

To him, he thinks not, but I don't know how secure his conservatory door is.
Dave
I will not be touching this job. I am only asking on his behalf.
Dave
No, It's at his home.
That sounds like it could be expanded on :-)
Dave
Best way would be as others have said, custom door .. or maybe a custom frame to suit the smaller, cheaper door and wide hole. ;)
