Shim Hinges

If the door is binding or needs a larger alignment adjustment, you can shim the hinges. To move the latch side of the door up, place cardboard shims behind the bottom hinge leaf. To move it down, shim the top hinge. To move the door closer to the jamb, shim behind all hinge leaves. Loosen the hinge screws, insert thin cardboard shims, and retighten.
