Cutting corners off doors

[saveasteading]

We have 2 doors in the roof space which will need the corners cut off.

Hoping not to need them made specially or to have to use ugly great fire blanks.

Elsewhere we plan to use the ubiquitous veneered oak, vertical plank effect doors from howden or a bm.  But i assume these are filled with cardboard or wood fibre and not suitable  for cutting.

Any suggestions please?

I think you may need to butcher a third door to make the sloping bit look OK.

You mean dismantle and take a piece of frame off a third door, and splice it at the diagonal?

This is a long shot.

Peter Millard did a series of videos about building a door with the corner cut off like those you show above.

There might be something on this video series that helps. Hope so

Yes.  A few YouTube vids of this type of thing.

Thanks. I tried another search and success this time. Even the right style of door. Much more solid and thicker veneer than I had expected.

Whether our amateurs can get this right first time, or just cap the cut, i will report later.
