Door hanging

using internal panel doors and removing over 25mm per side you will have big problems. I suspect that the timber is not much more than that

I had a similar problem in my old house, the bathroom door was narrower than the others. I can't remember the exact sizes but I had to remove about 3inches off the long side to fit.

I split the long edges of the door facing from the frame and removed the long battens and the rather insubstantial "lock block" they will come away quite cleanly with the aid of a paint scraper. A chisel is too steep and may cut into the face if you slip.

I then carefully removed 1.5 inches from either side of the top and bottom battens with a hacksaw blade. Then it's just a matter of glueing up the long battens and lock block and sliding them back in like so: (scuse crappy ascii art)

-----------------------------------------

My thoughts exactly!

All the rest of my doors are 2' 6" (30") and B&Q's are aswell. They can order a 27" wide one for me but that is 3/4" too narrow. I have since been to Jewsons and they can get me a Premdoor at 28" wide...perfick!

Thanks anyway

=============================== Best solution is to Build the door frame up either side, as one poster suggested. Much easier
