Hi. I have a mango sideboard/cabinet that has a door warped at one corner.

I'm looking for advice on how to get it straight (if possible) without planing, as I don't have a plane. I've posted photos: one with the door closed, so it's visible where it sticks out at the top left corner; and one with the door open so you can see how the door is constructed.

Help and advice aimed at a novice would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hi allybee13
Fit a block inside the door at the bottom so the bottom of the door fits flush. Remove the magnetic catch at the top and use a screwdriver in the top to force the door back into shape - you may have to leave it forcibly closed for some time to correct the warping.
