I have just replaced the front door frame with an old frame that has some leadlight windows. The problem is the door frame size isn't standard and I couldn't get a door to match, even from the salvage yard. The frame size is 910 x 2115 and the closest door is 900 x 2070. Is it easier to add some wood to the door or increase the door jamb?? After hanging the door there is a 4 cm gap at the base.
Any help appreciated

Just add some timber to the door, both sides, and either top or bottom.
I assume your going to paint the door when finished??

What Al said.
I did this to my front door 12 years ago, and it still looks good. You wouldn't know if you hadn't been told.
Just make sure you use a hardwood.
Yep sure am,
Thanks thought that would have been the easiest way..
Plenty of hardwood in town so it shouldn't be too hard to find,
Thanks
What type of door are you getting?? You can get all standard solid core and hollow core 4 panel doors at 920 x 2340.

Brought the only door that was available in town, solid 900 x 2070.
920 would be just too big...
Only problem living in a smaller town
Speaking of doors and it may be off the subject. When we built last year, my old man made the front and back doors out of 25 mm mdf, 2 sheets so 50 mm thick with pine 50 x 25 down the sides, let me tell you its bloody heavy and very very solid. sealed and painted looks great and cheap too.
There's always the option of making one like the one on this link but maybe it's just a matter of adding something to the top of the door frame.
