Thank you for this video!!! I have a door in my home that rubs the floor, and now you showed me in a very clear and engaging way how to fix that problem. I will try not to lock the door before testing out the results of my handy work. 😀

Thanks for sharing I have same problem on my basement door But I don’t have tools to sand it out a little piece so I used big knife and chopping little bit and now it works no more stuck.

I gave you a thumbs up for locking the door and making me laugh 😆I just got done cussing my door out and needed that. Good info !

OR just put shims on lower hinge.

WHERE to add the shims makes a huge difference.
1) on the bottom hinge, obviously
2) Door scrapes floor
a) ...within first 45 degrees of opening swing
i) shim between hinge and door
b) ...beyond 45 degrees of opening swing
ii) shim between hinge and jamb (framing that hinge is mounted to)

Another good idea is to paint the exposed end of the door with a sealer primer or something like that, to prevent or slow down moisture absorbing into the exposed timber, causing it to swell and potentially creating the same problem again. Especially on bathroom doors, where there is always going to be a higher moisture level in that area.

WHEW!! I THOUGHT I was going to have to chisel out new hinge sockets. I have a SANDER and will do that instead. THANK YOU!!!!

I just took down a door that is rubbing and checked the underside, pre finding this video. I wasn’t sure if it was the door or a toy. Sure enough it’s the door. My intent was to do something similar to what you’ve shown, however… my underside is shedding. It’s like the inside of the door is pushing out the bottom rim and is very very dry but fluffy substance. I shaved off a bunch anyway. I’m deciding if the door needs replaced or if I need to paint the underside to keep the insides in. Your door insides still look like plywood but smooth. Do you know what do do with dry smooshy bottoms? Is that a combo of heat expansion and water damage? Hugely possible in a household with kids.

So if it wasn't the hinges, could it be the floor instead? Looked like the floor is uneven.

Great video - but for goodness sakes - put shoes on outside so you don't put your dirty socks back on the floor and causing that dust under the door!! Seriously though, great vid and the torch tip is cool.
