Door Adjustment - Handyman Santa Barbara
Posted by: admin / Category: Home Repair Santa BarbaraHi from your Ace Handyman, Your Santa Barbara Handyman
This is a real quick post to talk to your about door adjustment.
A lot of times, when your door starts to stick and not close properly, the fix can be as easy as getting out a screwdriver. If the door in question is sticking on the vertical part of the door near the top, it is most likely that the hinge screws have started to pull out or have worked themselves loose. Remember, most doors do not require a lot of clearance, so just a slight tweak may do the trick.
Take your screwdriver and tighten the screws to the top hinge and see if this helps. Many times I find this to be the only problem. Take note though, that if the screw continues to turn without getting tight, it is most likely stripped and will require a larger/longer screw or some material introduced to the screw hole to give the screw something to grip.
I hope this tip helps, and please remember Ace Handyman Services is always here to help.
