I've used the toothpick trick a number of times. Another trick that works for me is one or two business cards in behind the hinge to 'bring it out' from the door jamb. I loved the 'bend the hinge trick' and will be using that as well. Thanks for the great video!

My added tip for #3, if you put a shim at the top of the door on the latch side you can make the gap the size you want before you bend the hinges. And when you go to bend the hinge loops with the wrench you will see exactly how far you need to move them, because the door will already be where you want it to be!

I've had good luck just swapping the top and bottom hinges. The top hinge is the one that gets "tired" and has its plates separated by a gradually increasing gap. Replacing it with the "not tired" bottom hinge often solves the problem. Especially useful with the steel doors/frames found in older apartment buildings, which have enclosed spring-loaded hinges that don't have anything you can bend.

You mean, "retired". I found they were wear and tear. Once that happens, you have to replace them. Fixing is not a good solution. The problem will come back. Those are only a few bucks to replace. I rather change all of them. I replace them with the better brand with the bearings. They will last for 20 years. And, make sure you lubricate them with lithium grease once in a year.

@@TheFunnyCarpenter Thanks for the tips... I have different issues with each of my doors...I had a contractor do some structural work and afterward none of the doors upstairs close, but one when closed you get stuck in the room--its a bathroom and I guess when you shower the door swells and you get stuck inside, we've planed the door and it still is fickle. One bedroom door the top sits too far inside the room and the bottom is snug on the stop trim piece, another door is reverse that and the bottom of the door is gapped and the top rubs the stop trim piece, the bedroom with double doors you actually now have to lift the main swinging door to meet the strike plate on the other door. How do you fix the doors when it is 'off' vertically than horizontally (as in my case where the hinges wont fix the door being wracked

I recently repainted the doors in an old house that my wife and I purchased last year. Basically every door had the "landlord special" where the previous homeowner painted over every latch, hinge, and screw. I decided to replace the hardware and repaint the doors. When I rehung them... I didn't realize how jacked up everything was going to be. Very good tips. Thank you for the help!

Never thought of the last fix, it was exactly what I needed. Thank you! I had tried all of the others before, they worked on some of my old doors, but not the stubborn bathroom door. I have old two hinge doors, and with the weight of multiple door hangers on it with wet towels, I can see why it would bend the hinge over time. Bending it back to the original position seemed to do the trick!

I'm not a handy man. Oddly enough I'm a great mechanic. But not a handy guy to have around the house. This video saved me from just purchasing a new door. I was over having to lift the damn door every time I went into my shop. And don't get me started telling my wife to "lift when you close the door!" All 3 things made my door work as it should. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Not all of us grew up fixing things around the house.

I have a good "fix" for a door sag. Pull the bottom hinge screws from the hinge part thats on the jamb. Run a 1 1/2 screw into the jamb at about the middle of the hinge but closer to the hing pin. Leave it proud about the amount you need to lift the door. Reinstall the hinge screws and check for proper gap at the latch side of door. If you need to adjust up or down just run the screw in or out that's behind the hinge. I call this the adjustable shim method. 😉👍

@TheLarryBrown 2 жыл бұрын
I guess that's ok, but seems like too much trouble and possible problems. The hinge plate would not be secure, it would be making contact only on the screw head, seems like that could wobble and possibly creak, and any wobble would tend to work loose the three plate screws. Over time your shimming screw might move and the door would sag again. Shims are available at your local hardware store, isn't that a better method?

These are GLORIOUS fixes!! On the sly - I worked these on two doors…and astounded my husband the carpenter! My add to this is to be careful when you’re painting doors…that extra little bit of paint added along the edges can send a perfectly hung door into Crooked Door Hell!!! Think “very thin paint” on edges!! Thank you, sir!

Brilliant! Applause from the peanut gallery here in dusty West Texas. Your #3, bend the hinge trick, helped shift and seal a huge gap in my trapezoid shaped door opening. Now my perfect rectangaular steel exterior house door no longer hits at the top, and it sealed a daylight gap and dust out at the bottom. I have no carpentry skills, but I can follow directions, and yours worked perfectly. I kept thinking I was going to have to remove the trim and reshim the entire door again. I did follow and apply all of your tips in order shown and #3 with a large set of Channel locks to bend the hinge did the trick for me. Thank you!

I've actually used all three of these. I used to work at a privately owned dormitory in Chico, CA where college used to be second to partying and with solid core doors and drunk kids, they used to get slammed a lot. Couple that with 50+ years of building settling and regular adjustments were a norm, just had varying severity. Because of my figuring out these different ways, pretty much anything door related became my job. Still, cool to see them posted as top ideas.

After struggling w/ a misbehaving door for, like maybe 10+ years, I clicked on your video, and paused it 38 seconds in, and looked at my door to see if it was sticking at the top, and it was. (Your video still paused.) So I looked at my top hinge and noticed my screws were loose - but when I tried to tighten them, they just kept on turning. - Which explained why the cheap door had been this way from the beginning. So I removed each loose hinge screw, and stuck a toothpick into each screw hole to take up the extra space, before screwing the screw back in - and breaking off any remaining toothpick once the screw was tight. It worked! It made the screws tight or tight enough to pull the door back enough to straighten it to close correctly. I have no idea if you have this tip in your video.

Don't even need to shim anymore. They make these little bags that look like they have blood pressure cuff air squeeze thingies... I know, I'm getting very technical now! Anyway, it's a very strong bag, about 6 inches big, and you squeeze the thing and inflates the bag, which lifts the door up to the precise height you want. Then when you're done, you release the air and remove the bag. It holds like 300 pounds. Im gonna go in my garage later, find mine, get the name for you EDIT: it's called the "Rhino Air Wedge" and they are about $13 on Amazon. I have one, and I use it for all kinds of things. They're great! They sell them in home Depot (at least they do in my local home Depot) but they're cheaper on Amazon. And Amazon has kits of various sizes, which home Depot does not

Great fixes! I never thought of any of those... I usually shimmed the bottom hinges on my own doors to square them up. But I'm a plumber so thanks for the lesson! But as a plumber you're using the crescent wrong backwards. You always want the pulling or pushing force on the solid half mooned shaped side. I know why you did it the way you did ( to allow more movement during bending without damaging the door) but it hurts me everytime I see some one using them wrong.

@ChrishBlake

Not arguing, but, like the reply above, I’ve always found the crescent moon shape allows me to get the most leverage because the moon rolls along the surface. Why is the moon side supposed to be the driving force?
@JuanWonOne
@JuanWonOne Жыл бұрын
@@ChrishBlake because the driving force against the screw on the wrench will, after repeated uses, stretch the metal. It makes the wrench "sloppy" and more likley to slip when extreme force is applied. The screw side is meant as a guide/holder. The best example I can give is using channel lock pliers in reverse. The force will try to open your hand instead of clamping down on the piece you're working on.
