Just trying to hang a door and found that the frame is 9mm wider at
the top than the bottom. Is it best to adjust the door or frame and
how ? I'm not very good with planing so would prefer to avoid having
to trim the latch side of the door. Then again I suppose I must keep
the hinge side absolutely straight so may have no choice !
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Assuming the door is big enough for the frame, I would not touch the frame
but would trim the door. I would make the door only 5mm wider at the top
than at the bottom - on the basis that you can vary the door to frame gap by
a couple of mm each side between top and bottom without it looking untoward.
You need to have the top of the door parallel with the top of the frame, and
the bottom parallel with the floor. You will have to determine exactly where
the frame is out of square in order to work out which bits of door to
attack. I would carefully mark the bits of door to be removed, and use a
power plane for the job. Get the door fitting the frame nicely *before*
fitting any of the door furniture.
