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)

    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    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.
    Wut?? None of that computes old son. Where did you source all that misinformation from? :D
