There is an old woodworking technique that people used long before we had electric tools, but it is a tricky process. You need to get the cabinet wet, but not soaked, just wet enough that it is pliable. Place the wood into a vice and bend it back to straight. Place the other side in a vice and dry it.

Take the door down, put it on a flat surface (warp raig off ground), and pile on weights to push the warp in the other direction.

Straighten a BOWED cabinet door with a oak wood strip cut to fit inside the face frame. 3/4 X 2 Predrill through the long narrow edge of the strip then glue and clamp inside the door near the free edge so that it counteracts the bow. Use correct size woodscrews.
