Here's the thing. Pro door hangers use a plane because often they

the rest of us, and I include chippies who don't hang doors all day
long, the circ saw method is pretty foolproof


Like hell it is. The problem with using a circular saw is that it is
MUCH harder for someone who has never done a door before to work out how
much to take off. MUCH safer to trim the door gradually with a plane
until it clears the new carpet or tiles.


Or do it properly and get it right first time.
