Hello,

I am replacing all the internal doors in my house. The original
downstairs doors are about 10mm thicker than the doors upstairs and
obviously so is the frame rebate. The new doors are all 34mm thick.

So what are my options for the downstairs doors? I could cut the hinge
into the rebate, but is that the only way?


Thanks,

Graham

Replace the door stop to suit the new doors?

Yes, it's probably not a rebate at all. The stop is just nailed on.
It'll have to go anyway or the new doors won't fit

External doors are generally 44mm and if the design is suitable
there is no reason apart from cost not to use them internally. If
you haven't already done so, check out what is on offer from a
specialist door supplier, e.g. Todd Doors in west London.

I did one a couple of weeks ago. To do a neat job, I cut 3 strips of
extra rebate wood (approx 12mm x 8mm), and nailed them in place -
obviously quite easy if you have access to a circular, but difficult if
you havent. It did take a lot of time though getting the dimensions
correct, but i couldnt see any other way of doing it properly.

Providing they're not victorian door frames ie they're one piece with
rebate.
