Pocster Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Custom door frame . Left and right 50mm of play Top though no play . Company and myself measured via FaceTime so not sure who is liable ! Concrete lintel at the top so no joy there My options are only 1 that I can see . That header piece needs maybe 5mm sheared off it . I can’t take lining apart as glued . How can I sheer it ? Multi tool will take forever and be a right bodge !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s zero play height wise . Plane the top whilst swearing ? Edited September 12 by Pocster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 You could plane the 5mm off (electric planer) or use a concrete grinder on an angle grinder to remove 5mm from the lintel but this will make a real mess. Using an electric planer allows you to set depth of cut (max 3mm usually) so several cuts. How are you going to finish the ceiling next to the lintel? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Decent make, brand new, 1/2" router bit against a fence will make a dead straight, razor sharp clean edge on the bottom of the door. Better than a planed edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once you start playing with a router you may well become addicted to the precision, accuracy, and the finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
