Not entirely true - an electric plane will be fine - I've done it, on
several doors.

I suppose it depends on the door design, but planing across the grain
isn't usually the best way. And electric planes ain't the easiest of
things to get a perfect edge with either. A sharp circular saw up against
a bit of straight wood as a guide will give a near perfect cut along and
across the grain.

The one thing with a plane on a door top/bottom is not to come off the
far edge, but to plane from both edges to the middle, otherwise you can
knock a lump off the corner.

I learnt that on door #1 !

After that it was fine.
