Hi,

Im looking for any opinions on this...

I am thinking of replacing our front door on our 3 bed semi D with a weatherglaze door that a relative has going spare. The width of the new door is fine but its higher than the current door. This will require hammering into the brick above the door.

Is this something which could be a problem eg is it something not receommeded. Has anyone done this before with issue??

Thanks.

the head of the door has a concrete or steel lintel in there which should not be messed with:)

The brick is probably sitting on it
