Just had a new door fitted (have done internal doors, but not brave
enough for the front door.

Fits the frame perfectly. Problem is that it rubs on a bit of the
large (1.5m x 2m) inset doormat when opened. This is because the
front right hand side of the doormat well is higher. I'm loath to
have the joiner plane more off the bottom of the door as it will not
then fit so well along the threshold.

So...can anyone think of a method of giving a haircit to a 30x30
section of a coir doormat? I've started with scissors, but laborious
ain't the word. I have googled this but I may be the first..

You can get doormat in different thicknesses to match the thickness
of different fitted carpets. When I had a carpet fitted ~7 years ago,
the fitter ordered a piece of dormat exactly the right thickness to
match the carpet height, which he then cut to fit the frame. I've no
idea where you might get this, but a carpet supplier might be a good
starting point.
