Is the door hollow core or solid wood?
That was my question since it wasn't stated and most of the advice offered is for hollow core doors.
I don't know yet (we didn't move in yet, so I cannot check right now, I can check later tonight).
Even if it is hollow core, I assume there is a solid piece of wood at the bottom.
Suppose there was a solid piece of wood, how would that make cutting any different?
And if I end up with a hole after I cut the door, I plan to insert and glue some wood in there anyway. Assuming I find the right material.
You're correct about hollow core doors having solid wood on the top and bottom as well as both sides. I meant as opposed to all-solid panel doors, which are usually made of considerably harder wood if not actual "hardwood", such as are found in older homes up to about the 1940s or so.
