Door hing---stripped screws by construction crew
One of my interior doors has the top hinge with all the screws more or less "floating in space". It has caused the door to sag a little. This seems odd to me, since the other 2 hinges are solid as rocks, and yet there is enough flex in a door somehow to bend or sag just "enough" to not close perfectly. Odd. In *any* case, I am in need of understanding the *right* way a door should have been hung: All the parts, what they're supposed to be screwed to, are the hinge screws supposed to extend into the studs, what parts of the door frame/jamb/whatever are connected to what. No one I know is "sure", and I would like to know what /your/ opinion of a good website or other source is. I'm checking the other doors in the house, and am (I must be thick) now wondering if this might worsen or outright /cause/ the strike-plate repositioning I'm always going through. -- Sometimes life just sucks, and then you live. |
