[member=5277]Alex[/member] idea of the block sounds like what you want then.

Get a photo when you are done.

... plus the area to be altered is high up on a door...

Personally I would suggest taking the door off the hinges, or the pins out of the hinges.
(But then I don't like to be sanding on a ladder, or a turned over trash can).

A couple of saw horses can hold the door horizontal so that you could then work like a humanoid.??

this might actually be the best bet, no hassle, no potential for a mistake. just put some tape on the back and stick it on the door. here is a photo of the hooks i am using. i used a matte varnish on the wood.
