I need to change a patio door. I got one but is about 2 inches wider. Does not fit exactly. The guy I got for the job says it’s impossible. Is it? Do I have to get another door?
Thanks

Yes, you do. Sorry. Door has to be the exact size of the old door, or smaller.
Yep. You need to get a door that will fit in the opening. Same size as the old one. Trimming one inch off each side would kind of look off.
Thanks but I hope that it will be a way. I just have to find it
The way would be to tear out the 2 x 6 framing around the door which would involve the siding and interior drywall and trim. Very expensive! Cheaper to buy another door.
The labor or materials?
