+1 for this.
Only I would use polyurethane or D4 resin based glue to make the joint permanent and as strong as the wood. Taking old frames off is always a massive job.
99% of the times doors have been sliced to be adapted to wonky frames banged in by the dozen.
Avoid that, unless you are prepared to fit new door and frame which is a lot easier than adapting a new frame to an old door.
aye, 1930s building, there is likely to be chunks of wood cemented into the brickwork, and the frame nailed into these, in trying to remove the door frame you are likely to rip these out and burst the plaster on both sides - changing the door frame can easily result in re plastering and redecorating two room - be still arsing about at xmas trying to get it right.
I will try the split repair and new hinge positions first. if that doesn’t work I’ll try cutting out and putting in a new piece of wood. Failing that, it’ll be a tradesman to do the job.
Moved in 15 years ago and the frame was cracked then. I never got round to repairing it, with hind sight that’s regrettable, it just worsened over time.
