Be sure to use a #2 bit and strip out hinge screws

[@user-zj7fq4pr4c]

Lol.

[@twig1846]

Yah every single FUCKING time, I have an entire marriott property where the builders didn’t do any of our doors correctly and now they are terrible to replace or take off. Reinforcement plates missing or not welded onto frame

[@dirkdiggler6038]

No other way to do it

[@andrespagan6155]

Also, be sure when painting the door, to soak all the screw heads in with paint 🤦🏼‍♂

Just ran into this issue today too hinge is bent and 4 of the screws are rounder than the globe

Really good thanks!!

So how would you go about repairing a steel door that won't close because it is hitting the top edge of the vertical frame but also hitting the horizontal part where the corner comes together?
Man. Wooden doors are so much easier to manipulate.

[@thibflipple7205]

Nevermind. I just watched your video on twisted or out of square door frames.

[@Rauschandfriends]

I just had same issue. Here is the link for anyone else coming here later.

What if a corner is separated

[@aarong8633]

We put in laminate floors in our automotive office that has steel doors how to we make it so bottom of doors don’t touch he floor three metal exterior doors

Crystal Clear Detailing Vlog if the entire door is dragging I would recommend you take these doors off and trim the bottom then reinstall!
