The term people seem to have missed is "folding wedges" (referred to as opposed wedges, etc here). These are knocked into place with two hammers, and if you need them to be permanent can be glued together or simply spiked with a ruddy big nail. I've used big hardwood ones with 6 x 6in posts to jack-up floor beams in Victorian buildings and delicate little softwood ones to straighten up Jacobean oak panelling. The main thing is that they need to be an identical pair, so you either need a mitre saw and a home-made squaring piece to cut them (smaller ones) or a circular saw/bandsaw and a mitre fence or home made jig to make them.
I'd be careful about using them on something like acrylic, though - maybe consider using one or more Winbags to reposition (a pair of these will easily lift a 100kg solid oak door), then just glue a pair in place with GripFil or the like. Or consider using expanding foam instead (inside a plastic bag). Remove the Winbags afterwards
You can buy ready made (serrated) furniture levelling wedges froom the likes of Toolstation or Screwfix which give from 1 to 15mm or so packing. They carry 100 to 150kg a pair, I think
