Door Rubs Against Frame0
If you have had this problem, you know exactly what I am talking about. Sometimes a door, usually a new door, will rub against the top of the bottom of the door frame. This usually happens in the door jam on the side with the handle.
Here is a quick fix: Unscrew the opposite hinge (if the door rubs at the bottom, unscrew the top hinge and vice versa), not all the way, but enough to get a wooden shim in there. Screw the hinge back in.
You may want to make a wooden shim that is the exact size of the door hinge so it is flush, then you can paint to make for a normal looking door hinge.
If this is an external door, it can help reduce heating and cooling costs by making a tighter seal against the door frame.
Pretty easy, and should take less than 10 minutes total.
