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

Check very carefully to find out *which* frame upright is plumb, knowing
that the frame is somewhat tapered - since hinges should be placed in
recesses made into a truly vertical frameside (checked in two planes), but -
in your case -any error must be compensated for with packing pieces of
differing thicknesses.
You may find to your surprise that the latch side has less than 7mm gap at
the top when finished.
