You can cut the bottom off of a metal door. You will need to take the door and set it up on a stable work surface. First, remove the weather strip on the bottom. Determine how much needs to be cut off and make your marks or draw a straight line. Attach a straight edge with clamps above your marks equal to the distance that the edge of your circular saw (skill saw)blade is set back from the side of the base plate. Make sure that you have a good metal cutting blade installed in your saw. Cut the door, ensuring that you move the saw along at a steady pace. You may want to insert a wooden filler into the space that is open now and reinstall the weather stripping. For safety sake you should be wearing a dust mask and face sheild along with ear protection and long sleeves. Also ensure that you do this away from any combustible material as sparks will fly. You will have to sand, prime and paint the cut area of the door once completed
I would recommend that you get a new door rather than cut one to fit. I do not know of any professionals who would cut a door, too much labor intensive
