Entry Front
How to fix sagging Fiberglass front entry door.?
I have a two year old entry door that appears to be sagging. There is about 1/4″ difference in the gap at the top. It is sagging down away from the hinges. The problem is that it is getting difficult to close.
Previously I adjusted the striker plate down, but it is still difficult to latch the door.
The frame appears to be plumb. Can I install some shims on the bottom hinge? If so, what side of the hinge should I put them (door panel side, or frame side)?
I have sidelites installed, so don’t know how I would even adjust the frame itself. Since it’s fiberglass, I don’t think that planing would work (and would still leave the uneven gap at the top).
Thanks!
I have a sidelite installed on the hinge side of the door. So I would have to take apart the whole entry?
since the door has a sidelite on hinge side you cant shim between bottom hinge and frame.
when the door was installed it should have come with 2 2inch screws that were to be installed at the top hinge to prevent sagging.
I am assuming the door is level Square and plumb …..
Worst case scenario is to install a shim behind the bottom hinge plate on the jamb side typically a piece of cardboard …but it wont take up 1/4 inch gap !
