Default My doors don't close evenly

How about putting a small rubber bumper at the bottom of the frame
(knob side)? By holding the bottom out further it might allow you get
the top in closer once the latch catches. You may have to press on
the upper part of the door (knob side) to get the latch to catch.

This might work for interior doors but I'm not so sure about insulated
doors.

hi!

I have two doors that I recently installed that don't close perfectly
evenly. They fit squarely this way:

----------
| ------ |
|| ||
||h ||
|| ||
||h ||
|| o||
||h ||
|| ||
| ------ |
----------

and the hinge line is level with gravity.

but the bottom of the door closes before the top of the door. when the
door is latched, there is a ~1/4" gap at the top corner, opposite from
the hinges.
