Can I trim hollow core internal doors?

We would like to replace all internal doors in our house that was built in the 50's. The only issue is that nothing in this house is of a standard size! The door frame height seems  to be ranging from 2020 - 2030 and I was wondering if it is even possible to trim hollow core doors at all? Or do we have to go for custom sized doors which are a lot more expensive?

Hello @sometimesDiyer 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your doors.

 

If I recall correctly, you can trim only 5mm from each side of the door. Please allow us to double check with our supplier. As soon as we have more information, we'll get back to you.

 

Thank you for your patience.

Thanks for looking into my query Eric, and looking forward to hear back.  And just in case the door from my link cannot trim by down to 7+6mm, I would like to hear if there are other door with bunning that can do it, honeycomb or hollow core to keep the door light.  Thanks again!

Hello @sometimesDiyer 

 

I've been in contact with the Corinthian customer service team, and they have confirmed that you can only trim 5mm all around. The Hume doors are are even more limited as you can only trim 3mm all around. I therefore suggest double checking your door sizes and ordering a custom sized door from the special orders desk. This will save you from having to trim the door in order for it to fit. The general steps are to choose an internal door that you like and ask the special orders team to make a quote for you to the size that you need.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
