Interior doors are often hollow with only 1 inch 2 54 cm of wood to stabilize the door.
Interior door now scraping floor.
Doors bind and scrape for several reasons but it s frequently due to loose hinges or slight movement in the building which throws door openings slightly out of square.
Here s a quick 20 minutes diy task to fix a door that is sticky.
I have a wooden door for the downstairs bathroom and it is scraping the tile floor.
Since the floor is tile and the door has not been wet ie.
This past weekend i fixed our bathroom door that was scraping the floor tile and rubbing the jamb.
It doesn t appear to be mis aligned with the door frame however i can t for the life of me figure out how to do this.
A dragging corner makes a door difficult to open and close.
Not swollen i can only surmise that i have to tighten the door hinges or something.
Over time these screws can work their way loose causing the bottom of the door to drag on the floor.
First run a piece of paper at the bottom of door to identify where is sticky.
Do your prehung interior doors stick to the jamb rub the floor or just don t lock anymore.
Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws in the top hinge on the door and frame.
If your door is a solid wood door you have more leeway in regards to how much wood you can remove.
Do not remove more than 1 4 to 1 2 of an inch 64 to 1 27 cm of wood.
The dragging door corner can scrape the floor or threshold.
