when he first fitted the door he didnt fit the door badly so it would stick

[worked ok when first fitted so the problem is lack of maintainance over the years]

planing doors is rarely necessary

today i was asked to plane down a pair of bin store doors because they were jambing

all i did was refit the T hinges correctly, no planing was necessary, took all of 5 minutes
