Default Lumpy floors and hanging doors

Whats the groups considered thoughts. At the entrance to the house I
have reinstated a door between the foyer and hall to make the house
warmer but have issues.

I have just hung a door and after a few problems with the builder
erected door frame being off vertical, when the door is shut it fits
the hole very nicely with an even 5mm gap across the bottom ready for
the vinyl. However when I open the door it sticks on the floor. After
having a look the floor of screeded concrete which to the eye looks
okay it is infact quite lumpy and has 5 mm hillocks across it.

What is the best way around this.


Fit rising butt hinges. However, note that you will need to modify the top
of the door to clear the frame as it rises. Along most of the width, it only
needs a slight angle but on the hinge edge corner that leaves the frame last
you will probably need to take quite a bit off to maintain a clearance.
