Well - I did it! Just in case anybody is going to read this in future: I took the door off and carefully chiseled the hinges 2-3mm deeper into the door. Luckily there was large enough a gap on the hinge side of the door that this did not cause any binding and the door closes perfectly. I'll...

The lining looks ok to me. thanks.

No (I wish). Belt sander - or manual plane

I also sanded a iit off the top corner (where the door is cut on a slope to fit). Is that what you mean by 'the slope'? It seems the whole latch side is too tight. So opening up a gap on the whole latch side - including the slope - is what I need.
