Hello, Mike in Texas here. Still catching up on all of the programs. To respond to Aaron's comment about the basement door type... A solid panel door should not expand much more if at all more than a hollow core. The door should be composed of full height styles and inset rails and panels. The panels are left with some room to swell/shrink in the grooves surrounding them. The amount of movement along the grain is negligible, and any movement against the grain is limited to the styles and a portion of the top and bottom rails, which should be insignificant overall.
