These ideas are excellent quick fixes to a common problem. I was looking forward to shimming and wrenching the hinges but it turned out using 2.5" screws was enough to fix my problem! 10/10 would recommend to friends if I notice issues like this on their properties.

Thank you for your video. I've adjusted many doors, but I have never seen the method of adjusting the hinge knuckles. Interesting tip. Thanks 👍

Dear sir, thank you so much. I uninstalled my door. Afterwards it would hit against the frame. I changed the hardware and that's all it took. So grateful for your video.

Good video, I'm thinking a mixture of these will help my stuck front door as well.

Thank you for this video!! It gave me the confidence to tackle getting my door more square in the frame (completed earlier today). I locked the door with the dead bolt before popping the hinge pins out to make sure it stayed in place. Since I had a pretty big gap in the upper right-hand corner (at the top of the door), I shimmed near the very top (as you did), then about 8" or so from those shims (I cut some of the shims shorter so that I was working with a thicker part of the shim due to the wider gap between the door and door frame in the vertical direction. I also felt I needed to shim under the door, so I pulled the weather stripping (which needed replacing anyway). I also sunk two 3" screws in the middle hinge and one in the upper (ordering more to do all of them).

One thing I forgot you did was using locking pliers. I think that would have been better than the channel locks I used (which did scuff up the nice brushed nickel hinges on our door, but not too bad). If you replace the weather stripping, do yourself a favor and take the door off. I tried without taking it off the hinges, but I couldn't get some of the weather strip in properly. Much easier with the door off.

Thanks again!!! Great work.
