Hi

Our bathroom door is very difficult to close and open as it looks like it has expanded due to seasonal variations. I probably only need to remove 2/3 mm "wood" from a 10 inch long section on side of door.

Will something like this work? what grade sandpaper do i need?

Other option is to exchange it with one of the other doors of house which we don't close. But I will need to change door locks and somehow lengthen the door lock panel insert on side of old door as the bathroom door lock is longer due to presence of latch lock!.

As it is, that will shave off the excess wood but they tend to leave score marks in the wood.

After using it you will need to sand down the surface working from a coarse or medium finish glass paper and finishing off with a smooth grade.
