How do I cut off extra edges?

Summary

To cut off the extra edges of a True Doors decal, follow these steps:

1. Use a Sharp Knife:

   • Ensure you have a sharp Stanley knife for precise cutting.
     
     

2. Start Cutting Slightly Inward:

   • Begin cutting a little away from the actual door edge (not right on the edge) to prevent slipping and to ensure a controlled cut.
     
     

3. Hold the Knife at a 45-Degree Angle:

   • Position the knife at a 45-degree angle to the door surface for the best results. This angle allows you to make a clean, straight cut.
     
     

4. Use the Door Edge as a Guide:

   • Gently press the knife along the door edge and use it as a guide while you cut away the excess decal material. Move slowly and maintain steady pressure.
     
     

5. Cut Carefully Around Corners:

   • When cutting around corners, go slowly to avoid cutting too much or making uneven edges.
     
     

6. Trim Holes for Fixtures:

   • If necessary, cut out holes for door handles, peepholes, or other fixtures. Ensure your cuts are clean to make reattaching the fixtures easier.

Taking your time and using these steps will give your True Door a neat, professional finish​​.
