Reclaimed pine doors

Just used some reclaimed stripped pine doors to make a wardrobe but one of the four is slightly twisted and doesnt close at the top.

How can I untwist this door???

How big is the gap ?

About 25mm give or take a bit of spring

25mm is quite a lot but if you got nothing to lose then lay a piece of 2" timber between the door and door frame then screw a piece of timber brace into the top of the door frame at 45 degree angle where the door is sticking out plus put in longer screw into the door hinges as well to take the pressure. This may take a few days or won't works at all and only any good if you can get out of the room ! You will need a extra hand to spring the door back under tension while screwing into the door frame.

as masona says

also[when its settled down] to try and help and even out the effect asumming masonas idea takes out half the twist take the hinge diagonaly opposite where the door kicks out and pull it forward by 6mm [you may have to move the angle of the other hinge to match]you would normaly move one back 3mm and one forward 3mm this would put the centre of the door in line with the frame

Also may have to adjust the door stop slightly on the door latch side.

Tried your idea of wedge and pulling the edge in and it made a big difference but got those catches which you push shut and push open and the twist has gone thanks for help now on to next job!!!!
