Hinge Side Door Jamb Warped

Or place a thin piece of wood or cardboard behind a hinge leaf on the jamb.
Hinge side door jamb warped. Use your screwdriver to unscrew the hinges on the jamb of the door and place it across both sawhorses. Ensure that the warped side faces up. If you have a door that rubs against the jamb on its lock edge a loose hinge is the most probable cause. Usually the other hinge is shimmed in the opposite way.
That may be difficult on older painted doors. If the door is binding on the hinge side and the gap along the jamb is uneven you can try the hinge bending technique or add shims underneath the hinge. Doors that bind or will not close properly are common problems. But frequently the solution is on the hinge side.
After gathering all the required supplies repairing the warped cabinet door is simple. People usually try to plane off the edge. Start by placing the two sawhorses four to five feet apart. Before trying to trim the door open it and examine the hinges.
If the door rubs at the top or bottom corner check and tighten loose hinge screws. You can move a door closer to the lock side of the jamb by inserting shims under the hinge leaves. Do it on the hinge that is closest. The binding usually occurs on the bottom.
Depending on the direction of the warp place a half shim under each hinge leaf either on the side of the leaf that is closest to the pin or on the opposite side.
