We just finished painting all of our doors. For the most part they all work great after the fact. There are a couple that are giving us problems. I'll just talk about the first one here though.
We replaced our bedroom door with a solid wood prehung door. The slots for the hinges all seemed to line up. When I put the door up however there is some slight resistance when it is about an inch from closing. It still closes okay, but not as smooth and seamless as it used to be. There is no rubbing around the frame as far as I can tell. I noticed that the top hinge slot on the door wasn't as deep as the others so I used the Dremel to bore it out a bit. That did seem to fix it though. Maybe a slight improvement.
The other thing I noticed is that the top hinge seems a bit misaligned (attached photo). I can't figure out how to fix it though. Any ideas as to what I can do? Are there any other suggestions that I haven't thought of?
Thanks!
