Hi Jed. People need to know that they need to be careful when cutting up
a hollow core door, since the braces for the door are all along the
edges with usually one brace running across the width of the middle. You
can cut the door, but will need to re-aply the braces. It can be a messy
affair if not handled properly. I use to have an article on it
somewhere, but have no idea where it got to--which is typical of me!
