Hi All

I have been hanging some doors over the weekend and one has gone a little wrong and wondered what the best way to fix it would be. Basically one of the doors is not level at the top and although there are no gaps in the door frame around the door one end is a few mm higher than the other end i think i went a big OTT with the electric planer.

Simplest way is to plane the top of the door parallel to the head of the frame and then move the door upwards i.e. re-chop the hinges and fill the small gap underneath them.
Alternativey you will have to cut the door to leave something like a 12mm (1/2") gap at the top and then plant on a strip, although this only really works on painted doors.
