My front door has shifted
Facing out, the hinges are on the right, doorknob on the left
Top left corner of door has shifted
down by about 1/8"
and in by about 1/8"
This means that I need to lift on the doorknow to get it to latch
I also have a small crack open to the cold along the upper edge at the
upper left corner.
In effect the upper left corner needs to be moved up and outward to get
proper closure with no leaks
What are my options for correcting this problem
And how do I go about figuring out what the right solution(s) may be
Tnx.
Check and tighten all the hinge screws. They do loosen after some years.
If that doesn't help. Put some paper shims behind the lowest hinge.
