Adjustment of interior door?

[snowjim]

Hello,

A craftsman installed a glass door in our basement about a year ago, and when summer came, it started to slightly hit the frame, this is what it looks like:



You can see here that it has a smaller distance to the frame in the upper right corner.


On the left side, the distance looks even and nice.


Here you can see from the inside when the door is opened/closed that it goes very close to the frame at the top.


This is how the frame and trim are positioned on the inside




You can see in the seams (latex sealant) that it has cracked a bit, which likely indicates that the frame might have shifted.

If you open the door gently without much downward force, it works fine, but if you open it quickly with more force downward on the handle, you can hear it hit.

The frame is attached with frame screws, and I have lightly checked them. The one in the right corner is very tight, so I don't dare to adjust it further. The one in the left corner doesn't seem to grip the frame properly.

Do all the trims need to be removed to adjust? And if a frame screw truly doesn't grip, can you use a wedge instead to adjust? Or does it require a new hole?

get a hinge adjuster and bend back the upper hinge a little

Aha, they sound great! I was afraid I would have to take down all the moldings again. I will have to buy one and learn how it works. Saw that the local stores Jula and Biltema had similar ones.

Thanks for the advice! It went great with Biltemas, sure the hinge got a bit scuffed but now the door is in place
