From context, I presume that by "scab" you mean an extension to

This is what Mr. Bell had in mind:
Extend the bottom of the door with a piece of hardwood, using biscuits
or dowels, and then cover the seam with a brass kickplate so it looks

Yes, the kick plates come without the numbers.
Yes. that is certainly attractive. Thanks. I had no idea. Where do
you buy a kickplate? Does Lowes or Home Depot carry them?
I'm now convinced that this project is indeed feasible. I think I'll
go back this afternoon and buy the door.
