I recently made some cupboard door's to fit a new airing cupboard frame I also made. On fitting the doors I annoyingly noticed one of them has twisted about 7mm, the other's have remained true. I currently have the door clamped to a bench to try and reverse the bend, is there anymore I can do to help.

Made from softwood 70mm x 38mm, mortice and tenon joints with 9mm ply slotted into routed grooves The door in question measures 1100mm x 380mm.
 
overdo the correction by around 6mm in the first instance and after 3 days see what happens

is the door fully sealed on both sides
is there a heat or moisture difference each side off the door??

No finish on them yet, I let the wood fully dry out in my loft turning them every couple of days. The door was straight after glue had set and they've been stored in my spare bedroom for a week or so before the were offered up. I've gone a bit more than 6mm and after reading an up added moisture to the concave side, going to leave it for a week and see how it goes
