Short answer, make it fit. Depends on how much it is off and where. If in width and less than an inch, hang it on the hinge side and scribe it to fit the lock side. If more than an inch, measure the opening and take equal amounts off of each side. This is for solid wood doors only. Hollow core or chip filled core only have an inch wide piece of wood on the edges and can only be cut down about 1/2 inch on the sides.

If too tall, the bottom of a solid wood can be cut as much as 3 inches depending on how it is made. A hollow core or chip core has about a 3 inch solid wood on the ends and can be cut 1 1/2 on either end.
