You can get approx. 2-3" extra clearance by simply removing the
¿rails? and sometimes even the face boards that cover the actual posts
which support the lintel.  This is trivial to do with a pry bar and
claw hammer on most typical apartments and homes.  It also works to
get a baja car and several large rocks into the front lobby of your
school's engineering department as a prank.

-dhbarr.

¿not sure what these are called, but they are inside the post and
lintels and form an outline of the door?
