Assessing the current door frame
- Measure the width of the door frame using a tape measure
- Check if the door frame is uniformly narrow across the top, middle, and bottom
Expanding the door frame
- Remove the trim around the door frame using a pry bar
- Use a power planer or sander to gradually shave off excess wood from the frame
- Refit the door to test the fit after each adjustment
Consider using a door frame extender kit
- Purchase a door frame extender kit from a hardware store
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation
- Ensure the extender matches the style and color of the existing door frame
