cutting luan doors to fit height

Tags: Windows & Doors
How much space is there for cutting a luan door. I want to cut the height to 77 3/4 inches from the standard 80 inches. Do I have enough space to cut off 1 1/8 inches on the top and bottom and still have enough solid wood to attach rollers for sliding channel?

Most common hollow core doors only have 1 1/8" top and bottom rails. It is possible to trim door down and replug with new 1 1/8" thick material. You'll need to clamp and re-glue.
