- This is a quick DIY I put together after finally deciding to fix a door that did not close properly.
The process is simple and only takes a few minutes. If you have a door, and it is hard to shut, this is a pretty quick way to fix it! I used a small adjustable wrench, which had enough grip to successfully bend the door frame side of the hinges, which is what needed adjustment.
I repeated the process moving the wedge down to maintain alignment as I worked my way through each of the hinges. Do each hinge separately, to avoid complication of the task.
A few minutes of effort and you will have a perfectly closing door, if this does not fix the issue, you may want to try a new hinge set, or measure and trim the door slightly to fit.
To fix the latch striker plate, I had to loosen the screws, then tap the center piece to bend it and widen the opening for the latch bolt to sit in, I had to adjust it about 1/8”.
If you do not have a tool kit, this is a link to a decent basic tool kit, which will fix almost anything in your house. It is an affiliate link, and it does not cost you any additional, but it does help me keep making videos.
There are some cheaper kits available, but this one here is inclusive of everything for the day-to-day fixes a new homeowner or renter would need to perform the maintenance.

This is a lower cost option, which has just the hand tools, and no power tools, for those on a budget.

Thanks for the tip. I had a door like that. Fixing the hinge and sanding a little off the top corner, and it’s free swinging. Now for a video tip: there’s no way to see through you when you’re bending the knuckles. The camera needs to be between you and what you’re working on, or off to one side. Otherwise, thumbs up.
