I recently purchased a storm door for my mobile home. When I measured
for
the door, I didn't think to measure the heighth, because I thought all
doors
were 80-81" tall. Much to my dismay, when I got the door home, I
realized
that isn't true. And I now realize the 32x74" storm door that I need
isn't
something I can just run down to Home Depot and buy.

So I now have this door that is too tall, but I wondered if anyone here
has
simply cut off a few inches of one of these doors and used it in their
mobile? It's a 1" solid wood door, and there doesn't appear to be
anything
on the bottom of the door to keep me from just cutting across the bottom.

Any and all advice is appreciated.

Hi,
Can't you return it and get a correct sized one?


The best solution- return it. If the big-box doesn't carry stuff in the
right size, most towns have at least one dealer that specializes in mobile
home accessories, often next door to the company that moves them around when
they get too old for a particular park to accept them as tenants.
