I have side driveway with the garage behind the house,I need to replace the
32" service door,the problem is that it has a floating slab with 4" concrete
curb,3 2x10 headers above door(service door is next to overhead door),I can
fit a standard size door (32" width)but the height is not standard,can I get
a prehung wood door and saw to fit,without weakening the door.

What kind of door are you going to use? Solid? Hollow? Steel?

Ask about how door is made and see if you can cut off 4" without doing
harm. The other choice would be to special order a door to fit.

If it is indeed solid wood, I would trim off the bottom I might even be
tempted to take apart the jam and take off equal amounts top/bottom.
