Door is level, part of the frame is not. How would you adjust this door frame/jamb?
I know I can replace the entire door but I'd rather not. This door has some rot in the lower part of the jamb, so I took trim off to inspect more. It's had a bad gap since I've owned the home ~ 4 years. The door is actually level, but I could potentially pull it a little tighter at the top hinge just a smidgen, and kick out the bottom hinges with some door hinge shims that go behind the hinge on the jamb itself. But the real problem is the top of the frame is out of wack. I haven't found anything solid on adjusting the top jamb to be level. I'm thinking these are my 2 options: Shim the top to try and force the gap to close. But I feel I'd be fighting the entire frame. Cut the top of the jamb where it meets the side and lower it a little. That feels quite risky.. I can't try to hide it with trim because it would mess up the reveal. Any ideas on how you'd fix this jamb? submitted by /u/Shitassin [link] [comments]
