To cut door jambs so flooring will fit under them, turn a piece of flooring over to use as a guide. Lay a handsaw flat on top of the flooring and saw through the jamb.

Can I use a jigsaw to cut door jambs while installing laminate flooring
Hi, Peggy,
It would be extremely hard to get close enough to cut the bottom of the door jamb with a traditional jigsaw. A jamb saw, jamb or oscillating tool would work much, much better.
Good luck!
Bless you for solving my problem of installing 5mm vinyl planking in two adjoining rooms,
