Just trying to hang a door and found that the frame is 9mm wider at the

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


If it's a new door, I'd adjust the frame. IMO better to impose
squareness on the structure rather than modify new things to follow the
contours of an old house.
If you position the door and stick a spirit level on the top, it should
be obvious where your adjustments need to be made.
If you're not too good with the plane, just don't go down that other
road.....:-)
