Where should tile finish in a doorway?

[John Benton]

May have posted this pic before but this is how I try to finish doorways, so the doorbar is UNDER​ the door

Based on experience would it be easy to use an angle grinder with a diamond blade to cut or do I run the risk on damaging/chipping the tiles?

Unfortunately this tiler wasn't thorough enough to check the door closing prior to cutting and fixing.

Maybe as a Tiler he doesn't trim doors ....... or plinths.

Here's one I'm doing at the mo,it's how I've always finished doorways,same as carpet fitters really.
This is just a example how far out floors can be, it's a 1800s house, and by the time I cement boarded it, I did one half again to lift the length then SLC it to get it somewhere near,it was still a good inch out length ways
IMO if I finished this floor like the floor at 1st it would of looked daft when the door was shut.

It would be ok with a good blade,a porcelain blade say,but you would struggle getting right in the edges ,if you take the guard off the grinder you may get close enough ,but I'm not advocating unsafe practice in any way.you must wear safety glasses safety gloves, a hard hat and a ribbed condom just to be safe

Personally I wouldn't be trimming it with a grinder 'cos its not gonna end up 100% perfect

No doubt mate, but he will be finishing it with a stainless L trim or something along them lines,so should be fine

Maybe I've missed something but assuming your door is hinged on the bathroom side, finishing the tiles flush with the door trim is going to mean that the transition strip sits only half under the door. If you'd finished half way into the rebate then the strip would be 100% under the door. Has it been done like that because a bespoke moulding is being used?
