mine is opposite. do i still adjust the top hinge or the bottom one? please advise
Study your door. If the bottom is touching, then do the knuckles on the bottom. More discussion in the book.
I have a bedroom door that wont close all the way in the winter its so tight. But its hitting on the lower half not the top. So sagging from gravity doesnt seem to be the issue. Not sure what to do and whether bending hinges is the way to go. I've sunk longer hinge screws all the way into the stud, but it made no difference
You might wish to study the book. If the door opens to the outside you may never solve the problem because the door will respond to wetness over and over. If a careful paint job doesn't do the trick, then you may simply need a replacement, or some adjustment to the jamb. BTW, the purpose of DoorTrix, the web site is to purvey the book. Detailed advice usually requires a pro. Good Luck.
@@donnydoors thanks for responding sir. As mentioned it's a bedroom door so not exposed to any moisture and we live in a mild climate. I've sought "professional" advice but not sure they are leading me in the best direction. I'll keep searching
@@Blue_Dun There's always the trusty block plane. Stand back, study the door. Maybe drastic measures aren't so satisfying, but they often get the job done. Good Luck.
Thank you 15 years later!
Doors don't change that much over time. Here's hoping the trick worked for you.
@@donnydoorsit did!
Thanks so much, this is so helpful!
I've you've fixed the problem, I'm a happy camper.
Thank you for the easy to follow video!
You're very welcome. Let us know if you actually use the info. Be well.
You're most welcome. Have you actually tried it out?
Watched this when it first came out, and I just returned to it for a refresher... It's a classic "how to video" thats informative and I'll always enjoy. Nice job!
Super helpful. Thank you.
You're most welcome. Here's hoping the stop mold came off easily.
This helped me fix my issue! I watched a few other tutorials around the same issue, but this one put a lot of disparate parts together. Thanks!
You're welcome. Glad to be of service.
Dude. Great video. Your the man
Naw, just a conduit. Enjoy!
WD 40 ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTIONS FIRST OFF ALL ONE SPRAY YOUR GOOD
WD is more a solvent that a lubricant. But it beats nothing.
Bro you're a genius 😮
Not sure about that because I'm not sure how I came by the "trick." Did I get it off someone else or make it up my self. I'll never know. Still, I'm grateful for the comment. Thanks.
@@donnydoors for sure man, thank you for your contribution to us, definitely stood the test of time
@@N8T1V3_AC3 You're most welcome. Wish I could stand the test of time as easily as the "trick."
Thank you. Going to try and if needed more info will do ebook. 2024 and what I needed
lol what a great vid
Omg these measurements are doing my head in. So glad we use mm. Great video
Great video it was straight to the point and I learned something new. If you did a video of plunging the toilet, I’m in, or any helpful videos, thanks
You're most welcome, Sir. It's always fulfilling when someone profits from one's work. Be well. As for the toilet, make sure you control the angle stop when needed.
Thank you so much for this! I had a sticky front door that was driving me crazy and this did the trick.
You're very welcome. If there's any return I hope to get from my instructive videos is that they solve the problem. Thank you for the comment.
I'm so glad. If there's any result from my instructive videos is that they fix whatever is the problem.
Excellent
Thank you!!
You're welcome. Hope it worked out nicely for you. What's important is: Did you fix a door?
Thank you so much sir🥹wish you have a healthy happy life!!!!❤
Thank you for the compliment. And may you make use of the trick and amaze your relatives and friends. .
Hey there, Mr. Door! How's it going? Today, I just meet your 15 years ago video for fixing my door. You are so sweet and lovely grandpa. I love your video editing as well. I hope everything is going well for you.
Thanks for the comments and the compliments. Everything is going well enough, considering I turned 81 in May of last year. Enjoy the trick, and share it when you can.
Any tricks to prevent ripping the screws out when adjusting the hinge?
The door should be closed solidly, with a wedge under the lock side, tapped up tight. If you've already blown the hinges, match sticks and glue offers a cure. Should be in the book. But remember, I bear no responsibility for attempts to fix a problem. The best I can offer is probable advice.
@@donnydoors the king still lives haha thank you so much for the advice!
I have a heavy exterior door that had old rusted traditional hinges. Door worked fine. Replaced with heavy duty ball baring hinges, and first the door was hitting the frame, mainly at rhe top, but after some tweaking, I now have hinge binding (I think) as the door springs open to the interior and I cant even close far enough to check for gaps. Seems like zero gap on the hinge side. Do I remove all the hinges, maybe use a shim under the top hinge? Or chisel out more depth for the hinge. Oddly so, both old and new hinges were 4" square and same thickness, and fit the old hinge cutout perfectly. So we are baffled. We have flipped the hinges from different spots, 1, 2, and 3. Have flipped so the 3 side is both on frame and on door, and even tried longer screws #10s, shorter screws #8 and are two nights in to barricading the non-closing door at night. Fresh eyes and 50 you tubes later, we are at our witt's end. HELP!! (Again, NEW hinges, now marked up cannot be returned, and are Ball bearing hinges vs traditional with pins. Is there some secret way to adjust ball bearing hinges???
I hate it when inert objects don't act like inert objects. Changing out the hinges should have solved the problem. One drastic option would be a new, lighter door. Please remember I don't take any responsibility for my suggestions. Can you dap (mortise) the hinges in a sixteenth further. If that fails, you can always shim the hinges back in their original position. Even so, a new lighter door is in order, I'd say. Look up a professional door distributor. Hire one of their tried and true installers and replace that antique. If you have to save up to do this, I hope there's a second door to the room. There may be something in the book you can use. GOOD LUCK!
What if it's the mibble hinge like mine?
I don't know what a mibble hinge is. But if you understand the principle, a solution should be available. And there's always the book.
Even with all the new and fancy-produced How-to Videos all over RUclips, sometimes it's the one that's 15 years old that explains exactly what you're looking for at exactly the speed and complexity you need
Cool. May you remember it always and use it when the opportunity arrives.
Thank you. I feel like you could teach nuclear physics to a monkey. You are an incredible teacher. Thank you again.
I'm overwhelmed by your compliment. I hope you van make good use of the lesson.
Worked like a charm! Thank you!!!!
You're absolutely welcome. Be proud and share out loud.
I used this tutorial today!! Thank you!!
You're completely welcome. As long as you have removable stop mold, you're all right.
Thanks very much for this 🙏🏽✝️❤️
You're most welcome. Feel free to share it around, and enjoy.
Pin doesn't come out so easily. It's super old and stuck.
If there's an opening in the bottom of the hinge, you can use a nail set or stout nail. Or you go back to diagonal cutters and a hammer, AND a lot of patience
@@donnydoors the bottom has a cap on it.
you da man! thanks for sharing knowledge!
Not sure if I invented the trick, so compliments can only convey that I'm smart enough to pass it on.
I am trying hang a second hand entry door and it's springing. You said we cant use this technique as its grooved out. Should I just chip away at it with a chisel ? (Also I love the putty knife to stop from denting the moulding! Great idea! thank you sir!
I thought this was Warren Buffet.
Don't know what to tell you.
Fixed my front door that's been squeaking for almost 5 years. Took about 2 minutes. Are you god?
Cured a squeak too? Terrific. Thanks for the comment.
Just a one trick pony. Enjoy and pass it on when you get a chance.
Old RUclips, where creating a feeling in a viewer wasn't the main point.
Fuckin' A!
I appreciate the enthusiasm. Thanks.
Hey Donny! I remember seeing this video many years ago! I can't believe it's been 15 years since you uploaded this, and it's been 4 years since your last video, so I hope that you're still doing great! This video helped me fix a couple doors that were dragging as well, so thanks for this!
Some random person on Reddit just linked this in a thread and I'm happily watching the whole video, even though I don't have an issue with my door. This is great. No malarkey, just straight to the point!
Same
Me too 😀
Watching Grandpa from Reddit as well
I LOVE how applicable this 15year old YT vid is!
Awesome!
Like many, from Reddit. Gosh you are cute...and helpful!
They don't make Grandpa's like this anymore
I have seen so many adjustment videos like this and none of them have solved my problem. This is so simple! Perfect!
I have been educated by a master. Thank you good sir.
I learned something really useful today, thanks for making this video.
You're most welcome. May you make good use of the "trick."
Thanks for this I need to fix my brother's room door it was doing the same thing! Not sure if it's because his room is usually warmer than the rest of the house.
What a well done video. Reddit brought me here, I hope you get another boost in exposure.
Informative and entertaining! Love the content. I hope you have been well Mr. Doors 😄
Reddit found you again, Donny! Incoming surge of views!
What post you come from? r/DIY u/marizpan07?
Indeed, Sir. Swimming in them.
Just came here from Reddit. :) Years ago, I saw a video similar to yours with this fix. I've been meaning to do this to the sticky linen closet door for years. Of course, I only remember when I about to get into the shower and grab a new towel. After watching this, I immediately grabbed some tools and now, 5 minutes later, I'm back at my computer and that freakin' door is no longer binding on the jamb. Informative, to the point, and very well done. 15 years later, and you're still helping people! Thank you sir!
Better than selling the book is the feeling I get when somebody succeeds as a result of using what's in it. Thanks for the comment.
Yes, thanks for this trick! All my doors seem to be okay, but that's the thinking process that I missed before. I would have chiseled out the hinge attachment and rescrewed the hinge back. Even though that bending the hinge a little is what was required. And I think it's not the only place where such thinking can be applied! Thanks once again.
Same here! I actually have this issue with the door to my daughter's room. I pleased to see the website it still active! I've got some other issues as well.
Thanks for the comment. Feel free to spread the word.
Man I wish I had a door to fix.
