Customising an internal door for an undersized frame

[Reno RSS Feed]

I am replacing the doors in my house and discovered that two of the frames are seriously undersized - after I bought the doors :doh:. Before I order a pair of custom doors for around $200 extra, I am thinking about customising the doors I already have. They are plain hollow core with masonite faces; cutting down the hinge side would leave 5 to 10mm of wood which I could rip out and replace with a new rail.

Does anyone have an idea on taking out the original rail without damaging the faces? My best idea so far is to make a custom fence for a small circular saw...
