The 3” screw worked great for me, thank you for that tip! I’m amazed at the difference it made. I went from needing two hands to close a door to just one finger. My door was the same brand as the first one in your video, it looked identical. Not sure if I was supposed to do all 3 screws in one hinge, or just the middle one as you showed. Doing the other 2 screws in that same hinge did not help at all, I think because they are offset just enough from the center that they don’t hit the studs that surround the door frame. They did not get tight at all like the middle one did. So just one screw did the trick. What a difference, like night and day. I first tried sanding the edge of the door and frame, but that didn’t help. I even traded doors with another in the house, that did not help either. I know now the problem was the frame, not the door.

In Germany we have other types of stuff, but I like to watch, how you are working and repairing. It is so interesting, and I am a woman.

Because I am never too old to learn something new.

DOOR’S STUCK!!! DOOR’S STUCK!!! I BEG YOU!!!

It worked on my big front door!! Brass hinges and door seal that encased the door as it is closed. The upper hinge was loose, the bottom pin was too worn. I changed it out with another door ( the brass pin ) and tightened that hinge down. It works perfectly! Thank you for this video that has saved me lots of money from calling someone.

I have several doors in need so I will be trying some or all of your suggestions. Thanks!

Thank you so much! Our door to the garage just needed the screws tightened. Who knew! I really appreciate your videos.

New construction. Less than a month 2 doors sticking. BOTH had short screws like in video. Easy fix, thanks!

In my house I have two doors that are hitting on the top pretty badly. In addition there are cracks in the drywall above the door. The drywall appears to have been pulled apart on one and the other it is buckling slightly outward and forming a crack that way. They are both in the same area of the house. I think it's more than the frame or the hinges. A bit worrying really.

I usually use a piece of cedar wood to plug the screw hole

😊😊

Haha! Probably your best intro thus far! Good video, thank you.

I've been waiting to see an easy fix for sticking doors, esp. at the top and topside. We are going to try this. I appreciate you.
