    Door jam
    How to slightly lower a door. Is there a pin in the hinges to pull up? End top of door is jamming and it used to shut years ago.

    Hi Triniqueen

    The first thing to check will be the door hinges themselves...maybe they have loosened and simply need to be retightened (or have longer, larger screws put in).

    If the screws/hinges were not the issue then the bad corner of the door can be reduced a bit using a carpenter's PLANE or a belt sander...;)
