The "old" doors fitted reasonably well and as you know there is is only vertical and horizontal adjustment, therefore the change in fit must be down to the shape of the frame of the new door. To close the gap at the bottom you would have to knock the inner frame inwards using a hammer and a block of wood - slowly, gently and check for fit very regularly!

I made some shims to go behind the door hinges, to adjust the gap. Worked very well.

'Fraid so. Or, you could shim the front door, if it's tight to the wing and close the gap that way. Give me a shout if you want some help. Might make a nice little Sunday morning job.
Chris.
