If it isn't you can add shims in the areas that require they, but be careful not to overdo it. A lot of shims could weaken the frame and make it difficult to close the door.

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is used to repair minor dents in exterior panels without having to refinish the panels. It is performed by using tools that are designed to reach the back of panels from different angles and then work the dents upwards towards the original shape. A repair facility may be able to provide this kind of repair or it could be sublet to a specialized service.

Misaligned Doors

Doors can become unbalanced due to wear and tear weather or any of a number of other reasons. One of the most common reasons is that hinges require tightening. This can be done using an instrument to loosen the screws before tightening them.

In other instances it could be that the house has sunk and the door frame has been distorted slightly. It is typically evident by taking a look at the gap between the frame and the strike plate. If the gap on one side is greater than the other it means that the strike plate needs to be realigned.

You can easily check the door's alignment by slipping a piece of wood behind each hinge at the point where the gap is the greatest. This will bring the hinge into alignment with the strike plate. You can also align the strike plate with the jamb by using a hammer to tap the top of the plate.

If the issue continues you may have to use shims to realign the frame. Shims are thin wedges of wood that can place into gaps to alter the shape and size. It may take a bit of trial and error to get the alignment correct.

You can also try adding a longer screw in the top hinge to stabilize the door and prevent it from sagging. This will help spread the weight of the door more evenly and prevent it from being misaligned in the future. This is an easy and affordable fix that you can do by yourself. Be sure to protect your floors with a blanket or mat while you work. Small changes can save money and time in the long run.
