How to Fix a Door That Won't Close! Door Hitting Top of Frame

In this video I show you how to easily fix a door that won't close! A door that is rubbing or getting stuck on the frame is a fairly common problem, especially the longer the door is in place. Over time they can settle or be pulled down and out of square. I will show you the 5 main things to look for and then show you how to fix them to get that door squared back up and opening and closing freely. These fixes also apply to doors that do close but are sticking when trying to open them.

Thank you! Finally a year after my husband passed away from cancer, I am getting around to all the stuff we put on hold. I got so sick of my cats popping open my bathroom door because it wasn't hung correctly and causing havoc in that room, I just had to fix it! It took less tan four minutes thanks to your video...geez. If I knew it was that easy, I would have fixed it five years ago! Thank you for saving my sanity and two cats lives!

Excellent video, just the right length, just the right amount of information, just the right information. Thanks.

[Cookefan]

I wish i had watched this before i ended up shaving a door down out of frustration with a crooked frame. Oh, well, i still have three more doors to replace. Thanks for this great video and awesome channel.

What a gift you have of teaching and teaching in a simple perfect progression!! Bless you

[trevernova]

Thanks for the hinge bending tip! That did the trick!!

[DJ-qqgr]

Amazingly helpful video. Tip#4 saved us immense frustration. Door closes perfectly now. Cannot thank you enough!

[HelenWiegman-suqt]

This was a great video. I instinctively used most of the fixes on an interior door that would not close. Now I know I will use fix number 4 that I know will work. I also love the toothpick idea most of all.

[ThomasWilliams-dg]

Very informative video, thanks for the help.

Very helpful video. Your videos are always full of great fixes.

Thank you so much. This is genius. You have a great engineering mind. And this was easy enough to do for single woman.
Most videos are taking the door off the hinge and I can’t do that. So hopefully this will help me thank you thank you👏👏
