Door trim with poor prospects from the start

[Johan41]

Hi, I'm putting door trim around my doors. Now I've come to a door where the depth is wrong. How should I proceed to make it look as nice as possible? See pictures below...

You saw to a distance of, for example, a regel.

If possible, I would probably move the door frames so that the hinge side aligns with the wall.

Yes, that's not how you install a frame unless there's a very special reason.

I arranged it so that I could put door trim as a cover for the wood underneath. Didn't have the energy to keep moving the frame back and forth. Maybe it's not the prettiest, but better anyway, right?

Yes, the door is on the wrong side of the door frame....

Then you need a "smyg", you can buy pre-painted ones, or alternatively use a trim (like 21x33 in your case). They often need to be cut to length to fit, and you can also compensate if it's crooked (the frame should always be plumb, the wall can tilt).

 

[Staffans2000]

Yes, you don't set a frame like that unless there's a very special reason.

You are naturally right about that. Then the pass piece will be on the other side instead.

I did it by installing door moldings to cover the wood underneath. I couldn't be bothered to keep moving the frame back and forth. It might not be the prettiest, but it's better anyway, right?

Yeah, it works, but it does hurt the eyes a bit for those of us who know how it should have been done
