I just spent an hour trying to adjust a door I just installed. Watched your video, and it was fixed in 15 minutes

Thank you! I have a space at the top of my exterior door that lets in a lot of cold air in the winter. I knew I needed to adjust the hinges, but aside from tightning screws, I had no idea how. I'm a single female and I can't afford a handyman. I rely on knowledgeable people like you, to help me fix things. Thanks for your simple, concise instructions.
Had a door that wouldn't close for the longest time and only now getting around to it. This really did the trick! Such a simple and easy solution. Thought I would have to do a lot more permanent damage. Thanks for posting!
This is the best ever. My sagging door frustrated me quite a while. And I tried a couple of approaches from Yotube. Some of them required me to bend the hing knuckles a bit which didn’t fit my case because the door casing to close to the hinge and almost zero space for a wrench not to say bending it. This approach with the video perfectly solved my problem without any damage on the hinge itself.
Thank you for explaining this. The video is thorough and full of useful information. My son’s bedroom door wouldn’t latch properly and this fix solved it. I used a piece of cardboard from an apple pie box, folded it over a few times, and slid it behind the hinge plate. When I tightened the screws, the door shut perfectly. You delivered as promised. This fix was easy and free! I appreciate you sharing this knowledge. Keep being awesome.
Thank you for posting this! You saved me from beating my head against the wall and taking my door down again to figure out what was wrong.
Hey, I just watched you End of Houseimprovements video. I wanted to take a minute and let you know this here video helped me fix my front door. We had a deadbolt that had been hard to turn for a long time. This was the first video I watched after searching for a door alignment video, and I was able to fix my door in 10 minutes. No more sticky deadbolt. Thank you!
Omg. I’ve been so frustrated by the weather stripping on my door, messing around with it, and then I noticed it’s just that the door is hanging crooked. Which is also why it doesn’t latch properly. I felt really intimidated by trying to fix it, until I watched your video. Thanks for saving our heating bill!
So easy. Thanks again!! I shared this vid on FB. Hope you get some more traffic on your channel!
You have taught my husband and I how to install all new windows and doors in our home. Your videos are great! Thank you
Love this fix!!! Been living too long with a misaligned bathroom door that won't shut properly to lock. This solution cost nothing and is risk-free for those of us that are DIY-challenged. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this video. I had a door that was stuck at the top edge all the way to the corner on the latch side. It had been making awful noise for years, even cracking the drywall in the corner it was so bad. Looked at alot of videos- all involved bending the hinges, which I knew I would screw up. Your method was great because it could be easily undone if it didn't work right. I decided to shim the top hinge with a quadruple fold of cardboard from an old greeting card. First try it worked perfectly, and the door closes silently now. Amazing. Thank you so much for a very clear and helpful video :)
Had the door off twice and was still binding, took 5 mins watch your video and I sorted it in 2 mins. Thanks mate 👍
Glad it helped
Just hanging my own doors , iam electrician.Now I have to thank you , you have saved my life I didn't have a clue about that trick .You are a star .
Thanks from the UK.
Shannon, you are my hero! You save me from banging my head on the wall figuring out how to fix this issue. Thank you so much for sharing this trick!
I was skeptical about putting cardboard behind the hinges at first but damn if it didn’t work! My new pre-hung door was having some resistance when trying to close all the way but I found this video, inserted my cardboard behind two hinges and now it closes perfect. Thanks Shannon!
Follow up: I just did your trick and ... it worked! Yay! I worked so well--and only took me five minutes. Dude, I owe you.
Thanks a ton! Worked like a charm for me. I shimmed out the bottom hinge only with a tripled up piece of cardboard. That allowed the latch to line up better with the strike plate and the door closes like a dream now.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! had a prehung door installed recently. I removed the hinges to paint it and when I reinstalled them had this same issue with the door closing. The cardboard worked perfectly!
I was struggling trying to fix this door space for like an hour. Found this video and fixed it in 10 min and 5 of those was finding the scissors my wife likes to hide around the house. My man is legit✊🏾
this was driving me nuts for years and your fix helped me out. i was doing dumb stuff like sanding the door on the side because i thought the paint was too thick, but after sanding door and even peeling off actual wood to make gap better, none of that worked, but the spacers worked.
Spent my all morning trying to figure out how to line up the hinges... though placing a piece card board., and you have just confirmed on the video !!! thanks a lot for your inputs !
Thanks for the video! I've got some messed up hinges in the house that I rent. Love the channel!
Wow! Thank you. That looks like such an easy fix to my door jumpiness. I'll try it out and then let you know how it worked! Thanks again!
Thanks, I just adjusted my door using your method, worked perfect.
Thanks for a great vid. It was the exact video I was searching for to help with a "jacked" hinge. ( didn't know what to call it until now). It was precise and to the point matter of fact. Came in handy for my whole home remodel. Thanks
I always wondered how to adjust my exterior doors - thanks a lot!!!
Thank you. Amazing tip. Took less than 5 minutes and 100% fixed problem.
Thanks Shannon. Just fixed two doors that would latch. Fixed the problem in minutes and for no money!
Got through the video and immediately tried it. My door is fixed and no longer has any gaps. Bonus.... no longer closes by itself either. I am a happy man.
Ah ha! A home improvement mystery revealed! Thank you, Houseimprovements; that was exactly what I needed to know. 👍
Awesome, great advice. My solid core door on my sound studio was sagging and the lock bolt wouldn't extend fully. Now it all works!
Thanks, I just did it for my exterior french door, and it's perfect now. I'm a big fan of your videos. :)
Thanks Dude! Fixed my exterior door, saved me a couple hundred bucks. Your videos are the best.
I was able to fix my bathroom door by following your instruction.
Thank you so much!!!
Awesome wee job to do this morning help me catch 3 keepers and unspring a couple of doors, cheers from Northern Ireland.
Thanks for the easy sensible solution. I have a four hinge door I will apply this principle to. Really appreciate the advice.
Great tip! I have always used a larger piece of cardboard and placed it under the whole hinge, screws included. Guess I know better now! Thanks!!
That will work but my way will keep the hinges from binding as the door closes as well.
Seems like some solid advice and should be the perfect fix for the problem I'm experiencing with my door into my garage.
Hi Shannon, Nice Video, another alternative is using some plastic from food containers, it is nice and thin and doesn't degrade like the cardboard,. Keep up the great videos!
Doors are my job and this is how I do it. Now just replace that Therma-Tru adjustable strike plate that Will Fail in time with a standard strike plate and I'll be happy. I know I am about the only one to see it but it's true. Great advice on shimming doors!
Thanks for put this together, it worked great! I used a packer instead, which should make it last a life time. Thanks again!
Awesome tip. Just did this. Worked perfectly. Thank you!
This was awesome, I actually took the hinge off to shim it. This way is much easier. Thank you. Cheers.
Thank Boss. You saved me some money and got my door closing perfectly 👌
My exact problem. I'll try it this weekend. Thank you, great video
I found this to be very helpful, thank you, Houseimprovements!
Brilliant. Very well explained. You should have 4.56 million views. This is exactly how I resolve this problem.
I really enjoyed this explanation. So basically it seems the shim is actually a pivot point to pull or push the door in the desired direction if understanding correctly.
exactly .
This is awesome. Just used this trick and it worked very well. Thank you!
Thank you very much. This video came out just in time for me.
Literally had this problem and didn't know what to do about it. Thank you!
Great tip. I’ve got a lot of doors to work on now!
Genius. I had thought about buying a chisel to adjust where the hinge went... THANK YOU!
Thanks. This fixed an eternal problem in minutes.
Thanks so much! You helped me fix my door of problem for years.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. We have several doors needing this. Thought we would have to hire someone...! Isn’t it amazing how apparently big problems become simple solutions when we know how?
I believe so
Love your videos. Going to try this to close the gap and use longer screws
Thank you so much! I didn't know this was a thing, door wasn't binding anywhere but on the hinge, which is welded into the doorframe. Put the shim on the door side.
Love how you teach on your videos pls keep the good work
Thanks for the advice.. simple tutorial and hopefully just what i need to avoid taking this heavy fire door off again!
Another great instructional video. Thank you!
Awesome tutorial. Gonna give it a try now. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
Thank you so much for this tip, problem solved in two minutes.
Another good video. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks man! Was scratchin my head when 2 of 4 new doors we just installed had hinges that were mortised too deep... Easy fix!
Glad it helped!
Wow, Man! My Hinge Challenge "Gone in 60 Seconds!" (said Nicholas Cage and Me!) I did not know how to do that, but I do now, and it worked handsomely! Thanx!
Good timing this popped up on notification, I had the door frame off and was deciding what to do next. Save me from myself doing damage
Thanks for the info. It worked like a charm.
Brilliant. Fixed the problem! Thank you.
I've just done this, thanks for the help.
Thanks, that's just what I was looking for..you've saved me again.
Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks.
Worked like a charm, thank you!!!
I love you man , you save my day with this video.
as always a nice presentation with detailed explanations. Hang in there, you are well liked!
Much appreciated!
thank you for making this video. I was able to shim my back door so that it latches again. No more light showing through the cracks now.
Excellent tip , worked first time
After 7 years, I can now close my closet door. Thanks!
Thank You!! Fixed the issue with a new prehung
Thanks!! Worked perfectly
Worked like a charm! Thanks.
Worked like a charm master!
Great video from a Professional!
Thanks Shannon
Thanks, been scratching my head for a half hour
Thanks man this solved my door hinge problem. I recently fit my first replacement hinge and had an issue where the wood frame would creak and the hinge would flex a bit.. so the cardboard shimmy worked a treat to solve both problems 🤟😬😬
lover your videos. thanks for making them.
Thank you, you helped me fix my problem, I really appreciate it!
My fused father showed me this but I had forgotten it, thanks for the reminder kind regards

You’re the man !! Thank you so much for sharing
Hi Shannon. Another great video. I’ve been a huge fan and subscriber for a longtime now. I’m needing some huge advice on my walk out basement door. I replaced just the door, and the bottom plate of it as well. Both Master craft. At first everything was fitting right except two things. There’s a gap at the upper right hand side of the door, as well as a gap at the lower left of the door. I’ve tried everything that I can think of as a DIY’er, but could really really use your expertise advice and knowledge on this one. I have even exchanged the hinges out for new ones, and that didn’t even help. About a month ago, as it started to get cold here in MI. It got to where I couldn’t even close the door, without sitting down and using my heel to close it. I bought the exterior door custom so it was painted&had two holes instead of one. Air is coming through gaps good. I had to even chisel for the hinges. Any help would be totally thankful and well appreciated. Thanks so much, and keep videos coming👍🏻
Nrfa I'd ask this question on his website.
A BIG thank you!
Thank you! This solved my problem!
