  1. 'Shave some off'

    HAHA


  2. The door frame is undoubtedly slightly warped. Start of by seeing where the door is catching on the frame (probably the top). Remove the door. Buy a cheap piece of rough sawn timber and knock it tightly into the place (either vertically or horizontally) remember you will only need the 'jamb' about 2 mm bigger than the gap. Leave it for at least 3 days. Hopefully this will force the warp out and your door will fit again. If not, I am afraid it is down to a lot of sanding to get the fit right again!

  3. The frame is now warped and it will most likely stay that way. i would plane the high spots off of the door and then rehang the door.
