You’ll need to paint the inside of the door once it’s flat. The reason it’s warping is that the exposed interior surface is sucking up atmospheric moisture and expanding but the exterior surface is staying stable.
my buddy says never read the comments, I say ALWAYS read the comments!

Great ingenuity. It gets the wheels rolling in my head.
This was EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hope it helps!!
I learn something new with every video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for checking out the video!
Great invention/worked beautifully !!! 👍👍👍
I'm trying this right now. In the same situation you were in. I built a barn door out of plywood and it's bowed. Hope it works, fingers crossed!
I am suffering of that very same problem as we speak I am going to give that a try thank you for the hot tip 👍
You just made my day!The same happened to me and and lost a little sleep over it,but now I know what to do,all because of you!Thanks a million and great post!👍👍👏👏👏👏👏🕺🎶🕺happy guy.
Hope it helps! 😁👍
Hi and thanks for sharing your wonderful device with the world” just a quick question if you don’t mind, would this work on an internal door made of hardwood or oak ?
Many thanks for your help. Keep safe and healthy
That was awesome!
Thank you, you're a lifesaver with this
Thank you for sharing this video I have 2 bedrooms doors the twisted or warped the don’t close properly the gap on the top side both doors can this method help sorting out Thanks
Yo, I have the same exact problem you had. Just finished building my 8 x12 shed and the right door (lower left) bows out about an inch. Put on the latch and pushed it closed (locked)....that helped a little. Somehow, I knew that someone out there had a solution to this problem. Thanks for posting your solution. I'm going to try that tomorrow. I live in NY where temps are now in 50-70 degrees range so not sure if it will work due to lack of hot/warm temperature.
Great!! Thanks for sharing.
I'v never seen any thing like this before, very interesting to say the least and it works! So smart. Live and learn everyday.
Thank you! I had to share because I was looking for how to fix the door without removing it and couldn't find anything that would work! Thanks for watching!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair Well this worked great!
Genius! 👍
Thank u for that awesome tip.
Great method! I have a similar problem for a shed door I constructed. I have a convex bow opposed to a concave bow that you had. Love your contraption but for my bowing I would have to drill holes on the outside which I am trying to avoid. Also, I think I would need more tension as my frame is 2x4
Any suggestions?
Great idea!
Very good idea,my wood shed doing same thing,same side door 😆, thanks will try it out.
Fantastic!
Thanks for the video. My interior doors (Bathroom and Closet doors are bowed out like this. Is there a way to straighten them without drilling a hinge into the door? Thanks
Thank you for sharing this easily applicable solution to a twisted problem.
I have a similar problem with my two doors, 4 feet each, that don't line up in the center, due to a diagonal warped.
On the left door, the top comes outwards, while the bottom seems to come inwards.
For the right door it is the reverse, so the doors are not aligned at the closing point.
I will try this solution hoping that this will fix the alignment of the two doors. Thanks again.
Brilliant thanks for sharing made me subscribe and 👍
Very clever.
Gr8 trick
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
Awesome! Hope it helps!
Same! Ty sir!
wow very Good!!!!.
Excellent and very clever thank you ✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊
Thanks for watching! Hope it helps you out!
Thanks!
Would be cool if you added a list of components / Home Depot SKU's to this video so I could go buy them and try it out!
Did the door stay straight or have you had to keep unwarping it?
what size wire did you use.
Good morning! Thanks.
Good morning to you and thanks for watching!!
Hello and thanks for sharing!
Has it worked for you for the long term?
I have the same problem and i tried to bend with force. It worked for a day or two and than twisted back.
Brilliant
Thanks, Dave! And thanks for checking out the video!
Helpful solution.
Hope it helps if you have a similar situation. Thanks for watching!
Did you drill the blocks on? May try this this summer... one year after and a new shed door of ours is warped :(
I'm going to try a similar concept with a ratchet strap
Good Morning! 🌞
Good morning!! 😃😃
A piece of angle Iron drilled and
screwed might work
Would this work on treated wood? Specifically can the heat and humidity reform the wood once it has Polyurethane on it? I just installed a pretreated warped bathroom door that I’d like to correct.
Clever
Did it remain straight?
Would this work if only one corner bowed out? What are those bolts called? Ty
Hey Mike! I think it would, just have the other end of the wire attached to the middle of the door. I am not sure exactly what they call these bolts. They are used to secure counter top corners together but you could use a nut and washer to work the same way. Thanks so much for checking the video out and good luck!!
Where there is a will there is a way......ingenious
Idk if this is the best solution or some ADHD over thinking but regardless...an excellent feat of engineering 🤘🏼
Wow! You are one of those smart man in the World . I hope you wife values you . Thank you!
This happened to my front door. it would not close and lock all of a sudden. Luckily I have an outer door that locks. I finally got it closed and locked, but am afraid to go out the door for fear of not being able to lock it. The top part of the door has a slight outward twist in it.
It's been 3 years now, has the warp returned?
Trying this this weekend. I will say I wish the “hinge” setup /installation was part of the video. It’s almost like the video was an afterthought.
Yes, the video was an afterthought. The door was straight when I installed it. This was my attempt to correct that. Hope the video helps!
Love me some "Hillbilly Engineering" and all, but
no need to reinvent the wheel when they make Turnbuckle kits and metal rope to do this already that you can pick up at every hardware store in America for less than $5. But i get it i do the same thing when i get an idea i do it my way! cool idea though.
👌🏽🤗
How about after the door gets wet and drys out a few times - long term?
So far so good. Been a few months. Only time will tell. Thanks for checking out the video!

I just built a couple shed doors today - both are warped so I’m going to give this a shot.
Thanks for posting the vid.
No problem! I hope it helps out!!
After 20ish months how is this fix holding up?
Brilliant idea. One request, leave the music off when your talking and explaining stuff. Thanks
I didn't see a whole lot of details about how the cable ends were attached to the door. A brief shot of the hinges was all I got. Clearly, this is a critical part of the process.
One string guitar gate
wish I could do that with my Home Depot Rubbermaid gall-darn shed door. Not their fault but annoying just the same.
That could be a leveling issue where the shed itself is twisted or out of square.
As Chad mentions. That could be a foundation leveling issue. If not it’s a fairly easy fix. I had this problem. I just used a 1x4 approx 5 ft long. On the inside I put the wood vertical and on the other side I use large washers and drywall screws and screw them thru the plastic and into the wood, at the same time I am also pushing the convex side inward (in my case inward towards the wood). Put 8-10 of the drywall screws with large washers into the wood and since the plastic is much more flexible, the wood holds it pretty straight. I did this to both doors. In my case, we had a bike wheel putting pressure on the doors for many months and caused the deformation. It’s probably easier in warm weather too
Why the clapping?
I'm just gonna take the door off but thanks tho
cover up the existing hole with some filler in the scrap wood you claim to have drilled 2 holes in... people will think u can't count
Would a turnbuckle not work a bit better? Maybe it wouldn't, not sure. Either way, thank you
Edit: No, now that I think about it, your way is better because the angle of attack is greater with your method.
Dear Mr Extremely Clever Man, I have made my first ever window frames, joints... the works. However, I'm a novice and didn't realise one of the long sides is heartwood. If I lay the frames (double window) 7 of the corners lay flat but one pesky corner is 10mm (just under half an inch I guess) off the surface. I wish I could show you a picture.
I'm getting desperate and have just sprayed water on the two timbers leading to the pesky corner and have clamped it bent in the opposite direction. Can you help me? The frames are soft wood - redwood pine I think. H E L P. Cheers, David.
Today's plywood sucks. Not like back in the 70's. Now everything is a potato chip it seems.
Most annoying repetitive background noise in the world.
Good video. Music sucks.
