The front door of my house is out of square. The top of the door
slopes down from the hinge side to the lock side leaving a gap. Do I
need to shim from the bottom? TIA


Is the door out of square or is the house settling making it look like it's
out of square?


Hardly matters, dontcha think? The door is out of square with respect to
the frame.

(Unless you think you can rectify this by jacking the house and squaring
the door frame ...)
