Cheers for the replies, Got an electric planer today and it's cut it perfectly.

Any idea how far the hinges have to come down from the top or doesn't it really matter?

6" from top and 9" from bottom used to be standard but 5" and 7" is used a lot now.

Best possible tool is a plunge cut circular saw on rales. It's a massive time saver compared to a plane, I use it on every door even if im just taking a few mm off.

Expensive though, my Makita set was about £500.

Bit OTT for one door though!!

What about hiring or borrowing one?
