Thanks all. The door was never correctly fitted as the room didn't
have any floor covering. Given it was so close to be guessed right
the first time thought a little bodge would do the trick.

Did a bit more packing on the bottom hinge and now just slightly
scuffs the floor which is good enough. I did try lifting the door
slightly but the screw holes essentially made the hinges go back to
where it started.

Thanks again another job off the DIY list.

Pack the screw holes with a matchstick or two on the appropriate side
to shift the screws a smidgen.


MAy have to chisel the rebate a bit if that is constraining the hinge as it
normally would.

Assuming there is a bit of slack, doing as Chris suggested whilst
lifting the door up (hard) whilst doing the final tightening, might
help a bit (and a bit was all that was needed).

I'm sure we have all biased / eased something in one direction when
final tightening to make it sit better? ;-)
