Reply to No matter how I approach this cut my jigsaw blade bends sideways. Advice? by fruitybix

Jigsaws when cutting down the grain, will naturally follow the grain your never going to get a decent cut with what is effectively the wrong tool to do the job. Circular saw is the answer

Reply to Door sticks out of top of frame when closed by studmaster636

Either the door is twisted or the frame is not plumb. Easiest solution is to unscrew bottom hinge from the door frame and pull it out slightly and refix with 1 screw and try the fit. The other option on the closing side of the door run a scribe line down the frame and plane off with a rebate plane. Last couple of inches will need to be taken off with a chisel
