    sure i remember something about removing it, put on floor with warp up, and hot water....anyone else
  • You might be able to "spring" it back into shape, depending how warped it is. If it leans out at the top, for example (so when the door is shut there is a gap at the top end of the door frame - handle end) then put a pencil near the bottom and slam the door shut on it. This will force the top in. Leave it shut with the pencil in place overnight and eventually it will even out over several nights.
    This is the easiest way to sort it out as you dont have to remove the door. It really depends how and where the warping is though.

    Sadly the warp is at the bottom of the door - it's a large cupboard door and so the bottom sticks out. Might try some of your ideas though (well get my husband to try it out!)

    If its at the bottom, do the opposite of the above poster! If its a cupboard door thats not to thick, it may work. id leave it for more than a night, couple of days, and see what happens
