Default Shaving Door by small amount

Yep a circular saw is best and a clamped straight
edge is essential. Might want to put masking tape
on all surfaces to be cut and push it on very
tightly. That will reduce or eliminate potential
tear out.

I've done this by taking down the door and laying it on some saw horses (or
have two friends get down on all fours) . Clamp a straight edge across the
bottom of the door at the proper height (depends on the saw) then buzzing
off the bottom with a jigsaw or circular saw, either works well with a good
blade.

I have a bedroom wooden door that grabs the carpet just enough
that I want to shave
the bottom of the door by an eighth of an inch to prevent the door from
grabbing.
Can someone tell me the best way to do it?

Thanks,
