Sticking doors: scribing bottom

Doors can also stick when the entire bottom edge binds against the floor
Tools and materials
Measure, panel saw, wood, pencil, block plane
Measure the exact height needed to clear floor level. Cut a small offcut of wood to the height that you have just measured. With a pencil on top, move the offcut across the floor to trace an exact line on the door. Remove the door from the frame and plane down the guide line. If a large amount of wood needs to be removed, use a panel saw.
