How do I cut a True Door to size?
A True Doors ® tutorial
Summary
To cut a True Doors decal to the correct size after applying it, follow these steps:
-
Prepare the Tools:
- Use a sharp Stanley knife.
- A metal ruler or straight edge is recommended to guide your cuts.
-
Position the Knife:
- Hold the knife at a 45-degree angle to the door for better control and precision.
- Start cutting a little away from the edge of the door rather than right on the edge to reduce the chance of the knife slipping.
-
Cut Along the Edge:
- Use the edge of the door as a guide to keep your cuts straight.
- Slowly slide the ruler down the door while maintaining pressure on it, and cut along the door's edge with the knife.
-
Cut Holes for Fixtures:
- If there are door handles, peepholes, or other fixtures, cut holes where needed after the decal is applied.
- Ensure the cuts are clean, and replace the fixtures once finished.
-
Trim the Top and Bottom:
- Remember to trim both the top and bottom edges of the decal to ensure a neat finish.
By cutting carefully and methodically, you can achieve a clean, professional look for your True Doors decal.
