Need to trim doors after carpet install

Or simply call a local shop and ask for the number of the chap who does their "door easing" If you bought from a shop, and had them measure they really should have advised you that some doors would need easing and quoted for the job. I think we used to quote £20 per door, which paid the fitter about £10/door. (VAT and markup)Unless it is damaged or discontinued - ignore any discount of over 25%0

1 that will leave bare wood showing at either the casing or the door which ever you raise it on, 2 you will only raise it a small amount as then the door will hit the top of the door casing and not close, 3 the new screw holes at the hinges will be to close to the original holes so will not get a firm grip. 4 if the door is moved up the locking mechanism will also have to be moved up leaving more damage to the casing.
