I have a door (utility entry) that is tight against the hinge side, but
gaps against the strike side. Easy fix seems to be straightening the
hinges a little (where the flat meets the bend around the pin) so the
leaves don't touch as tightly, thus pushing the door over a little. Has
anyone ever done this and is there a good way to do it? 1/8" over will
look perfect, but that is more than you can get by putting shims under the
hinge.

Cheers, Shawn


Easier still, simply shim the hinge. Put cardboard between the door jam and
the hinge. Use the Yellow Legal Pad backing type cardboard.
By using 1 to 4 shims on each hinge you can also take out sag pretty
accurately.
