I am contemplating replacing my front door with a thicker one - which

Any clues as to how best to do this in situ?

I would have thought that something involving a router (rather than an
angle grinder! g) might be appropriate - but what would be the best
way to control the width of cut? Maybe a bearing-guided cutter running
against a temporary batten or somesuch? However, a router wouldn't get
very close to the corners. How should these be tackled?

TIA.

can you "plant on" extra stripwood on the interior side of the frame
to increase the rebate depth that way?

A trimming router might be best as a full-on one can be awkward to
handle in a situation like this. Fix a fence to the frame and use a
straight bit and a guide ring. Finish of the corners with a corner
chisel and/or a bull nose plane.
Lie Nielsen make a nice little side rebate/ block plane which would do
the job.
