Custom frame f up

[Pocster]

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 !!

Nope because the door won’t fit . There’s zero play height wise .

Plane the top whilst swearing ?

Did you not confirm dimensions in writing that you have a record of?

Because my skills are shit @joe90 !

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?

Deja vu! At least it doesn't leak. Will it end up skipped?

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.

But you don’t have to do it, you could get a chippy to do it.  Take the door to them, shouldn’t cost much at all.

 

But once you start playing with a router you may well become addicted to the precision, accuracy, and the finish.
