no offense, but if you have had to do this “many many times”, it doesn’t say much for your manufacturing abilities.
surely you should be looking to machine the components dead straight and square (and out of dry, straight grained quarter sawn lumber) so that when glued up the workpiece is truly flat ?
this method, uming it does actually work will only work when the wood is in the white, once you have applied a finish, you’re fcked …

wood is always subject to moving,,this has worked for me for 20 + years..the key is to get it wet enough,and to over bend it and let it dry thoroughly …I have done it many many times, sorry but experience has show it does work.

this won’t work and …
this won’t work and I doubt if they tried it that it lasted much time.. divided light doors like that can twist for a number of reasons, mainly because they are clamped up wrong and not clamped flat. If they are clamped flat and twist anyways its likely because you aren’t using properly dried wood and your shop has poor humidity and temperature conditions. Even if this video method worked for them, I doubt it lasted, once a door twists up you won’t be able to get it perfectly flat again.

However, after …
However, after spraying with precatalyzed lacquer a couple of the doors twisted, which resulted in the lower corners sticking out proud of its neighboring door (which didn’t twist at all - strange given that they were cut from the same piece of wood). The doors are already finished so I can’t steam/wet them. I tried “bending” them back into shape, but to no avail. Any suggestions? Did the lacquer cause this?

I’ve got one for you…
I recently built a console out of Birch “multi-ply” featuring 4 doors (2 sets of double-doors) below 4 drawers. All door and drawer faces were cut from the same piece of Birch plywood so the grains match perfectly….
