Door Fix

23 Oct 2006 20:11 (Edited: 23 Oct 2006 20:11)

Doors that bind are problematic but usually there is an easy fix. Occasionally high humidity causes a door to stick but a door that always binds won't do. The main culprit is usually a loose hinge. Open the door and tighten the hinge screws. If they are stripped replace the two screws on each hinge closest to the center of the doorjamb with longer screws. Longer screws should reach a framing member and pull up tight.
