Re: Door Problem

without pics its hard to tell you will probably have to adjust both hinges tho are you sure you are using the right hinge ( correct side and position hinge)

Re: Door Problem

The adjustment is in the hinge itself. The part that bolts to the doorjamb gives you the up/down and front/back movement. The part that attaches to the door is the in-out adjustment.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
