I'm trying to find a diy solution to the bathroom door issue. The door is swollen, probably from the humidity over the years. We can't close the door all the way. I inherited this problem from the previous tenant.
Is there a possibility of adding a certain ''sanding bit'' to my regular drill, and sand off the edge of the door? What has worked for you?

call your landlord. A new door is like $30.

You can definitely sand the edges of the door.
My husband did it on a swollen door in my bedroom and it’s perfectly good now.

More like over $150+ with installation and finishing

You're looking for a "drum sander". These things are cheap, and incredibly handy to have around the house. Any hardware store will know what you're talking about.
