The room had new carpets installed and its a bit too long as a result it's hard to close the door. What can I do to make the door easier to close?
This is the right solution. Sometimes the door might also have room at the top and the hinges can be adjusted up some... but that's a bit rare... usually planing of some form is needed.Take the doors down, plane them until they will close easily and rehang them.
Is that what they mean by "cutting a rug"?:surprised:rofl:Nope, just take a lawnmower, on it's shortest setting, to the carpet.

With the door still hung...place a pencil mark at the point (as close to the floor as possible) that you estimate will clear the carpet.What is planing how do you do it?
