    Cutting corrugated pvc

    Shaving a door

    I have a client that had double doors that often caught at the top, rather than take a shaving off the door I made the hinge rebates deeper, which elviated the sticking problem, you can then pack out the hinge rebate with a thin spacer should you need to close the gap later on.
