Well, i am trying to do it myself

Well could add to one side or the other -or both/2 Will always show with a stained /clear coat door. (stained Oregon?) Personally I'd go for the hinge side -dunno why but seems less obvious -possibly less in your face LITERALLY. Just an opinion.

The door is going to be painted a color...wife insisted we renovate this door
I have a couple of new french doors to do, they require extending top and bottom 50mm each end

Thanks...i just needed to lengthen the door a bit...so i chose the bottom

Looks good. I've seen plenty of doors shortened and cut through the bottom tenons. Adding a batten to lengthen it should be no problem. I'd be using exterior rated glue with maybe a dowel into the stiles.

Thanks...yes added three x 10 mm dowels

Fortunately there's a men's shed just round the corner from us...they extended both french doors, did a great job
