Loosen with an outdated chisel then pull absent from the body with your arms. Airplane the stop then refit it flush with the door. A rebated quit types aspect of the door body and can not be eliminated. Instead you have to include a formed piece to the cease to fill the gap. To do this, evaluate the length of the gap between the door and stop. Then evaluate the width at the widest position. Lower a wedge to these dimensions (see diagram) and nail it to the cease at the proper stage. Once the wedge is in place, trim it yet again till you get a perfect match. The solutions over only function if the door has warped at the top rated or bottom corner. If it has warped in the centre you will have to reduce a curved wedge tapered at both stops.
