installing laminate obstacle - metal door frame?
I'm installing laminate and have noticed that the doors (4 doors) have a metal frame. I've read everywhere that I should cut the bottom of the door frame (to lay the laminate underneath) with a undercut saw but how do I cut the bottom of the metal door frame?
I've thought about using a metal cutting blade attached to a drill but I'm afraid of causing a fire!
NOTE: two of the doors have several angles in the metal frame that stick out about 1-1.5 inch.
I was told that a fein multimaster may do this cut.
Thank you so much for your help.
Interior door Thresholds, most often SPAN over flooring. Certainly there are transitional moldings sold specific to your purpose as well as going from Laminate to carpet; etc.
I realize that isn't the concern suggested here.
The Two verticals of a door frame should be cut, using a piece of laminate and under layment; simply as a height guide, and in such a case if the door frames are already installed There are Specific saws for that operation, if; as in your case you can't just use a BACK saw.
I'm not at all familiar with the BRAND name you include; but the specific tool is designed for just this purpose and might be available to rent? I'd avoid the Drill notion, though not at all because of a fear of fire.
I've also never used that tool, but want to imagine that it's much like a ROUTER, but with a saw blade attached, allowing the PLATE to sit on the piece of flooring as you cut into the door framing/molding.

No offense to RAW but the Q regards door framing; not THE door. Good notion otherwise.
