Lewis · Answer

yes, you are able to trim this off a solid door although think about how it would look with the top of the door too.

Paul · Answer

Yes as long as you reinstall offcut ,  once cut at the bottom of the door to keep door solid .

Josh · Answer

Yes it is possible to do this if it is a solid door alll the way through it will be fine just that your grooves and panel looks on the door might look a bit off. If it was an egg shell door meaning hollow you can still do it but would have to put a strip of wood along the bottom to keep the strength at the bottom. Again your grooves and panel on the door might looks a bit off.

Adam · Answer

Yes, you can trim that much of a solid door. Depends on the style of all you’ve chosen. You may choose to trim a bit of the top first and a bit more at the bottom to even things out.

Spike · Answer

simple answer is yes, although you may want to take the same amount from the top and bottom to ensure the design of the door remains even looking.

Jordan · Answer

You can trim 10-15mm off each side of a solid door

Harvey · Answer

Off a solid wood door, you should be fine. Without seeing the door I wouldn’t want to Confirm or deny but you should be fine.
