At my daughter's place the door twixt kitchen and sitting room doesn't fit at all. The top of the frame is 30", the door is 30" but the jamb 'bulges' halfway down the hinge side. I set to with a plane today, shaved the door to almost removing all the lipping on both sides (!), removed the battening and shaved the jamb as much as I was able and still the damn thing doesn't fit. I finally thought to measure the entire frame........yes, I know....and it's 30" at the top running out to 29 3/4" at the bottom. And it's offset. Would bunging a 27" width in the hole and closing the gap with new lining, suitably shaved, be the answer? I'm both stumped and knackered.
