No such thing as 'surface rust' at the bottom of a door. Surface rust means that the paint has been removed and the metal has started to rust on the outside. If it bubbles from inside, it is 'tin worm' and it is worse that it looks, for now anyway. I also vote to replace/repaint a set of used doors in better shape.
