How do I use a tiling profile to undercut door frames to fit laminate flooring?

Answer 1

The way that I have seen this done is to lay a piece of the laminate flooring down next to the door casing. Place your saw flat on the piece of laminate and saw a section of the door casing out so that when you lay your floor it will slide neatly under the casing.

Answer 2

As number one suggests.

Take whatever pieces and parts that will make up the flooring and underlayment. Set that sample against the moldings, Run a line over whatever molding doesn't currently accomodate the raise in flooring, and with a back saw, or flat blade hand miter saw remove the piece that will allow the flooring to butt the walls etc.

"This Old House" recently did a segment using a tool designed for the purpose, but for a DIY it isn't a needed extra expense.
