We just had new carpeting installed in our MH. Unfortunately, the entry door can not swing back fully because the new carpet blocks it. The carpet can not be cut without messing up the whole job. (We have a large porch attached to the front of our MH and you walk through the porch to the MH entry door). I am trying to figure how to solve the entry door problem and am thinking I can cut a small piece from the bottom of the door to provide the necessary clearance. The door is a typical MH door and seems to be made of fiberglass or aluminum. Does anyone have a suggestion for us? Thanks.

Check the Articles section for "cutting down an entry door".
