Is it possible to cut a steel entry door?
I've seen videos of people cutting their steel entry door to size. Can this be done or not? I've seen posts that say it can't be done. Quite frankly when I look at my door it doesn't seem like I can do it without leaving a sharp edge. The purpose is me trying to lay a tile floor and I need about an 8th of an inch to make it happen

Absolutely not! Assuming it is possible, your entire door frame needs to be removed and the rough opening needs to be adjusted (made taller) so that you can add a shim onto the bottom of the rough opening and set the door higher.

I agree 110 %, long before I'd be doing that I'd be considering Ditra then the tile and never have to touch the door.
