Can anyone recommend someone to cut the bottom part of a front door off for me? About an inch of it. The floor was raised and now the door won't open completely. I e read this can be done. It's a metal door. This would also be in Bismarck.
Can you take the door and frame out and lift the whole unit? Most of the time there is a 1/2 inch or more between the frame and rough opening. By lifting the frame you won't have to worry about the bottom door sweep or threshold. Cutting a steel door can be difficult if not impossible depending on the door.
You say it's a metal door is the threshold attached to the frame and if so what are your plans for the threshold?
That would be the case if it was a cheap metal door from a trailers house,I have cut steel doors both commercial and residential with no issues what so ever. Most steel residential doors are 6 clad design with a wood frame with a steel metal face. You could cut 1" off the bottom of that door with no issues. Then buy a plastic u shaped sleeve that you cut to length and attach to the bottom. Like I said before there are all kinds of examples as to how to trim a steel exterior door much faster , cheaper, and simpler then removing the whole door.when you cut a steel entry door it's toast. it warps like a bitch and you will never get the waves/wrinkles out of the slab where you cut it. so don't even attempt it.
. Did you notice in your video the frame was taken out to deal with the threshold? Just raise the frame, cut a little off the brickmold if you have issues with the exterior materialsThat would be the case if it was a cheap metal door from a trailers house,I have cut steel doors both commercial and residential with no issues what so ever.
