Recessed Door
Posted on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 in Security Systems
How do I get my interior door hinges from rubbing against my door jams?
I just installed 9 interior doors in my home. They are not "pre-hung" so I literally had to measure and match up each hinge with the existing recessed hinges on my jams. I have a few doors that are rubbing against the door jam on the hinge side of the door. My new doors are slightly thicker by about 1/16 of an inch than the doors I pulled off. The new doors are 1 5/8 inch thickness. Did I chisel too deep on my new doors and do I need to insert a shim behind my hinges to bring the door away from the jam on the hinge side?
What can I do to fix this and get the door to sit away from the inner jam on the hinge side? I have plenty of room on the strike plate side of the door but the other side is rubbing.
Thanks!
Yes-make a shim of plastic or vinyl (wood that thin will crack) as thick as you want it to make the spacing to be on the hinge side-either on jamb or on door leaf of hinge-or thicker hinges will work also.
good luck!
