what kind of tool can I use to trim this to fit the width of my door?

Scissors. But I used 3 screws to adhere it to door back for more solidness on wear and tear.

I would use a piece of 3/4" plywood to make up the difference, and cut to fit it flush to your existing door or divider.

Absolutely, trim to fit, use a regular hack saw, then snap it off. Takes about 5 minutes

Probably it will fit a door jamb with 5 inch lock spacing. There are many punchouts, and it could be modified with a dremel or jigsaw if needed.

Yes, you just cut it to size. Also, you want to put it not just on the horizontal, but verticle sides of your door.

Personally I would cut the already existing door opening to make it larger. It's easy to do with a jig saw. Hope this helps.

Hi, actually I was not able to fit it into my door. There was a different strip installed before. So I ended up with just buying the old type strip.

it would do a fine job of cutting the baseboard to fit it or refit it but if you're trying to cut the baseboard without removing it, this is not the tool. You probably need one of those oscillating do-it-all tools.

Sorry, I got rid of the trailer I installed it into. I had a round-handled latch, then got this. I cut the hole to fit. My recollection is that it was about 2" side by 2½" tall. I also had to cut the opening for the latch and "deadbolt" slide, in the face of the door. Sorry I can't be of more help. It was not hard to cut all the holes I needed, using an electric jigsaw. You could to it with a hand coping saw, also.

Scissors, will work. You need a straight edge, to cut it with a utility knife.

It can not be trimmed. Not a good product for your needs. To turn it sideways in your drawer you would need a depth of 11 1/5 inches. minimum.

Yes, you dont need any special tools. You will need a few door panel plastice clips also available through Amazon.

I built my door and used a piece of 1"x 6" matching stained wood behind track for support which added distance for clearance over the door molding. (tried to attach a photo for you to see but did not work.)

I've used this blade to trim down hollow core doors with perfect results. Make sure to use a staightedge. Also you might want to wear a dust mask, the composite material tends do make really fine dust.

I ( think). This won't work on your door. It's been a long time since I've put mine in. You might want to go to store and measure one there or ask seller for dimensions

I had my handyman trim it to size. I like being able to just rinse it out and replace it. saves money.

You can buy the door edge protection, I have used it and it works great. I did not try to cut to 1/2 in wide, I did use it under the door handles to prevent long nails from scratched the paint.
