Common situations
A hollow-core or factory-finished leaf may allow only limited edge trimming. Share the exact product specification before purchase. A door that needs more material removed than its instructions permit should be exchanged for a suitable product rather than improvised to fit.

Causes: local damage to an accessible component rather than an assumed structural defect or loose fixings, minor alignment drift or ordinary timber movement.
