Need Help Adjusting a Stubborn Door

0
Asked By CrazyDoorFixer92 On

I'm really frustrated with my door right now, and it's starting to annoy my wife too! I've already removed the top and middle pins to try bending the hinges, but it just doesn't seem to work. I think either the door or the jamb is warped. What am I doing wrong? I even have pictures here: https://imgur.com/a/3wyxEsZ.

When you removed the pins, did the door hit the jamb? If so, is it at the top or bottom? This could help narrow down the issue!

It's hitting at the top left corner when you look at the door.

You might want to shim the bottom hinge. Just cut a few pieces of copy paper and see if that helps. There are plenty of resources online if you need detailed instructions!

Try replacing the hinge pins! Use a long screw (3-4 inches), remove one screw from the top hinge on the jamb side, and drive the long screw in its place. This should help bring the door back into alignment. Just remember to tighten all the other hinge screws too!

I actually did that already and it didn't fix the issue.
