Door will not close, because of ceramic tile?

Can you take the door off and plane the bottom ?

Tick

Did you just install this tile or door?

[Oneill474]

Another thought. Like all the other doors in the house. Have the door swing out.
Maybe reverse the hinges, or buy another door.

[ballengerb1]

Please answer my question first. Another door or reversing hinges will not likely fix this issue but trimming would

[creahands]

Is it an interior door?

Is the door wood or metal?

If interior or wood exterior, The door can be cut with a power saw or planned.

If a metal door, will have to raise door. This will mean u have to remove jamb and raise it also.

Very best answer. Reversing the hinges. Or buying another door that
Swings out. Like the rest of doors in the house. Family Room door.

[creahands]

Still don't know where door is. Does it lead to outside or from one room to another?

If you reverse the hinges, I think you have to reverse the jambs also.
The floor has not been tiled. Exterior door leads to the back yard

[creahands]

If u install an exterior door to swing out, there is a possibility for someone to remove the door by taking out the hinges and gaining entry to your home. The way to do correctly is to raise jamb and door to clear tile.

Expanding upon Chuck's (Creahand) responses, usually, the rough opening for the exterior door will leave a good 1" above the door jams between the jam and the framing. pull off the top piece of framing and you can see how much room you have to remove the door unit as one piece and raise it. Unless the door leads out to a sheltered area, just reversing an inswing exterior door takes the sloping sill plate and returns it to the interior side, a miserable transition for you to make with your tile and a big trap for dirt. Any water from using that door on a wet day will sit there, too.

An outswing door uses hinges with special hinges where the plates of the hinges are stamped out to interlock with eachother when the door is closed. This prevents the door from being opened by removing the hinge pins so security is not really an issue. If you have a storm door leading to the back yard, going with an outswing door will mean eliminating the existing screen door and not having one again.

Now ultimately what hasn't been discussed is why the tile won't clear the door. If your floor is 3/4" plywood subfloor and you top it with 1/4" cement board set into thinset and screwed down, then install your tile at 3/8" thick, you should still have close to 1/2" to go. You should even be able to add 3/8" because rated plywood and 1/4" cement board. So unless there is some type of flooring that cannot be left underneath ceramic installs such as hardwood flooring, It's very unusual for the door not to clear.

So, what is your subfloor, joist spacing and size, the current flooring, and the clearance from the floor to the bottom of the door?
