Here's a little tip that can make this a bit easier. With the door closed, push a wooden shim (they're usually in the shape of wedge) under the bottom of the door at the edge with the striker until it's just snug. This takes the weight of the door off the top two hinges. Now pop the top two hinge pins like you do in the video. Use your hammer to drive the shim further under the door, lifting the striker edge of the door. Lift it just enough to enlarge the gap at the top where it's sticking and close the gap on the hinge edge. This will cause the knuckles (attached to door) to be off by exactly the amount you need to bend them. Bend the knuckles like you show in the video until they line up, and -- with the shim still in place -- you should be able to slide the pins back in with no resistance. Pull the shim, and the door should be perfectly aligned. You used the shim to move the knuckles so that they showed you exactly how much they need to be bent. No guesswork needed!

Let me share a little story. I hired some “contractors” to install a Prehung door. They tore a hole in the side of my house and tried to put the new one in but in the process slightly bent the frame. I promptly fired them and figured out how to seat the frame but the door was now rubbing like this one. We were at wits end when I stumbled on this gem of a video. If I could hug this guy I would. I wasnt able to shut the door without severe effort but thanks to this amazing guy I was able to seat it and save the day. This 6:05 minute video saved the day for me. You my man are a gift to earth and keep being awesome.

Thank you. I’ve seen a similar video on bending knuckles and was concerned about the hinge would be out of alignment. This video was an exact match to my situation, and walked me through each step and showed hinge alignment and effective door movement. I tried this method which required both top and middle hinge adjustment and it worked; probably no friction door operation in at least 23 years. Once again, thank you.

We moved into our house in 2019 and the previous owners did not take care of anything. Needless to say we have had our hands full with changes and fixes. One thing was the garage door leading into the house. We had to slam it hard as the top half was rubbing a lot. I just tried this and decided to check the door after doing only the top loop/knuckle... Low and behold it closes like normal now! I was afraid it would need to be shifted a decent amount and then the electronic deadbolt would not lock properly but luckily that was not the case. Thanks a lot man! Almost 3 years of annoyance fixed in about 15min

This. *THIS* is THE KZbin video that FIXED my security door leading to my garage from not shutting! I took the door off to replace the door threshold seal that's located under the door to improve the weatherization...and after reinstalling the door to the hinges, it would NOT SHUT and it's been like this for 4 days. I couldn't do laundry or use my garage. This video did it for me. It was the same issue described in this video where the top portion of the door was banging against the door jamb and not shutting due to the top hinge needing to be adjusted. Despite going out and buying brand new door security hinges from Lowes and screwing them on exactly the same way the old hinges were aligned, it wouldn't shut no matter what I did. I didn't have a crescent wrench, so I used a vise grip and instead of using door shims, I placed a stack of sticky/post-it notes towards the top of the door against the door jamb. That allowed the door to be pushed as I adjust the new positioning of the knuckles of the top hinge using the vise grip (the same knuckles this gentleman adjusted) towards the door. Then I finally hammered the pin back into the top hinge and voila!!! the door finally closes. I can't thank you enough man.

Thanks for mentioning that you bend the "loops that belong to the door". Because the hinges on my sagging bedroom door are reverse compared to your door. The loops (or knuckles) of each hinge on my door that "belong to the door" are located at the top, bottom and middle of each hinge. So, there are three of them that need to be bent. This mean I would have to bend three knuckles towards the door knob. Or, alternatively, bend the hinge knuckles attached to the jam side away from the door knob if there is room for the crescent wrench. Right? From Minneapolis, U.S.A.
@Your-Self4 жыл бұрын
Yes, your assessment is correct. If you have enough space, try to bend the 2 knuckles towards the door-jamb to cause less stress to the hinge than bending the 3 knuckles towards the door.

Some times the screws on the hinge are loose or if you put 3 1\2 inch screws will lift the door also 👍

one trick is to put wood glue on a toothpick insert into the screw hole that is now too big and then put the screw back in. Worked for me.

The things that you are referring to as “loops” are know as hinge knuckles.

Woohoo this worked thank you thank you! I used vicegrips instead of a wrench, and an allen wrench to knock up the pins, to not mess up my screwdriver tip. And I didn't need to mess with the middle hinge. Seems all fixed now 🙌

@Your-Self3 жыл бұрын
Try adjusting just the top hinge, and see if it helps. Because it's pretty difficult to align all 4 hinges, which can make the problem even worse.
