Sometimes when the door is barely rubbing opposite the hinges replace the top hinge screws with longer screws and run them in tight. this will raise the door slightly with very little work. sometimes shim the hinges if nessecary.
Longer screws didn't work for me. This is an exterior door that takes 5 screws. Took out the old ones and used 3 inch one. Door didn't raise much and drags on the threshold so bad I had to remove it. Not sure what to do. The door is fairly level.
Try shims on lower door hinge. No door removal necessary. WHERE to add the shims makes a huge difference. 1) on the bottom hinge, obviously 2) Door scrapes floor a) ...within first 45 degrees of opening swing i) shim between hinge and door b) ...beyond 45 degrees of opening swing ii) shim between hinge and jamb (framing that hinge is mounted to)
Lol, why did he remove the screws on the hinges? Should have just removed the hing pins. Also, he should have made the wood filler and paint repairs on bottom of door while it was off tbe hinges before putting the door back on. Hahaha.
What I find strange are all the negative comments on here. If ya'll knew how to do it the "right way" or a better way to do it than he shows in the video, then why on earth are you here for in the first place? Why aren't you making the same demonstration video but done your way if its simpler and more desirable than shown?
Gosh. The amount of people who use this moronic "if you know better, why not make a video and show us" model of expressing their pseudo-gratitude towards the primary creator/tutor or just acting like a justice-warriors to feel more important - is too damn high. Listen, u df, there is NOTHING that obligates a common sense to, after it reacts or corrects some stupid bullshit things as this video, transform itself into a youtuber and show you how it's actually done. NOTHING. There is NOTHING in the statement like yours - statement which is constructed as a devaluation of ones criticism by the faulty logic "you cannot be right just because you are not doing it" - that validly disproves everyones criticism just by questioning why they aren't becoming the "correct" version and serving the "correct" food to you. Just freaking preposterous logic it's so stupid that its incredibly hard for an inteligent man to even scratch the surface to dismantile it because there are no such low mental levels in his logic to even reach it without becoming braindead
Why did he remove the hinges to remove the door instead of just popping out the hinge pins ? I stopped the video immediately after this stupidity because I knew the rest was bound to be equally stupid

Very clever idea! I'm going to do that with my rental!
Sometimes you can just let the top hinge in a bit if there is a gap on the hinge side saves taking the door off
I'll try that, I really don't want to take the door off

Thanks for the troubleshooting format! No one mentions the doorside hinges in videos.
Simple way - too put between floor and door sandpaper (sand layer up) and moving door several times back and fours
Thanks for the Tip. Tried your idea and it worked.
Appreciate Ya!
Scrap maybe 100 hours like that
@@serialkilla23 Because you didn’t used rite sand paper.
I'm going to try this method
@Garrett A stand on the sand paper lol
This was a great little video for me. I did what was suggested and it worked. A shame some people are so critical.
Lol 😂 All the keyboard experts with their negative comments. I fixed my door today. Thanks for the video

Charlotte Cannon I don’t think that’s a real fix anyway, the door would still be tilted
th-cam.com/video/0TvwQELvJTs/w-d-xo.html.Guys please help me in opening the door.Go to this video!
Charlotte is 100% correct. Hahaha!
He did a great Job
Obviously he put the door back on to check if it was still catching the floor before making the wood repairs and paint.
We’re do you get that tool??
What grit sandpaper you use?
instead of piece of paper put between floor and door sandpaper (sand layer up) and move door several times back and fours
Spend 100 hours doing that
Because you didn’t used rite sand paper.
Because you didn’t used rite sand paper.
Why would I move it 4 times?
Thanks
