Adjustment of hinge interior door.

[Mathias Lindskog]

We have two interior doors that need to be adjusted because they drag on the threshold. However, there are no adjustment screws on this type of hinge. I have tried lifting the outer edge of the door, loosening and tightening the screws again, but there is no difference.
Best regards,

Buy a gångjärnsriktare.

Unscrew the hinge that sits on the frame side, place it in a vise, place a piece of wood against the hinge part (as protection), then adjust the hinge in the desired direction.
If it is the upper hinge, you should hit it so that the door comes closer to the frame.

Then screw the hinge back on and test ... more adjustment may be required ...

If it is a minor adjustment, it can sometimes work to adjust (in this case) the lower hinge by placing a small spacer (like a masonite piece) "inside the hinge" between the door leaf part and the frame part, then close the door so that the hinge spreads slightly.

Buy a hinge aligner.

... with the risk of breaking the attachment in the door/frame
I would absolutely not recommend this method on this type of interior door hinges... better safe than sorry

Well, you're overreacting. If the mounting is weak, you can always dismantle it and use a vise to break it.

Well, you're exaggerating. If the mounting is weak, you can just remove it and use a vise to bend it.

exactly as I replied in my first post
So why take the risk, the mounting on those hinges IS weak, it's not a question of IF they are

Which part of the door hits the threshold? Is the door leaf crooked in relation to the frame?
