I would order one from a joiner so that it will look as right as possible. Nothing worse than a door with narrow margins after being cut down too much. Saying that I saw a few doors with the top 2 panels (square panels) chopped off to leave 4 long panels of what was originally a 6 panel door and it looked fine.
Width wise, you really shouldnt be taking a whole lot off the sides as it wont look.
Best get one made up
