[A/S] More help needed with door adjustment
The 2x4 technique worked great and easily got rid of the droop. I
did knock the lower trim piece loose in the process, but it was
easily pop riveted back into place.
It seems that one more adjustment is now needed. It looks like the
top of the door is curved in just a bit too much.
As things are right now, the door closes a lot easier, not dragging
on the threshold, but you still need more pressure than what I would
expect to pull it shut from the inside. Pushing shut from the
outside doesn't seem to require much at all.
I tried standing the 2x4 up in the doorway, closing the door and
pushing at the latch, but was not able to make any changes. Keep in
mind that I am a lightweight, and while standing on the ground I
can't get much force on the door. I was also concerned about messing
up the screen door. Tried with the screen door both open and also
latched to the door.
Is there any easy way to fix the top of the door, or is this about as
good as I can hope for?
Thanks again,
Christopher
