Unusual sized front door
We require a new front door for out cottage and ideally would like one made from reclaimed timber (oak for preference). The door is a little lower than normal (about 172cm) and a little wider (about 92cm) and also has a curved top (about 10cm lower at the shoulder than in the middle). We can get it fitted but I'm struggling to find anyone who can make it for us as I lack the tools for the job. Does anyone have any information on joiners who could do the work or any places that I can search to find the help that I need. Thanks.
Making a door plumb on one side
Hi I need advice on how I can make the handle side of the door frame plumb/square without disturbing the newly plastered wall on the inside of the room as I’ve painted the walls and glued the new architrave? I have access to the frame on other side but as I’m putting jams behind it’s just twisting it 😞it measures 30 inches at the top and 30 & 3/4 at the bottom. Im finding it hard to get a door to fit and don’t really want to buy a bigger door and have to trim it down. Can I add more lining to make it smaller maybe? or is there a way I can do it from the one side to push the bottom inward 3/4 of an inch? All advice will be very much appreciated
