HALP!
Evening fellow disaster magnets, here is my latest conundrum, locksmith coming out this week to fit new locks, so I’m now in full on panic mode.
Old Victorian door renovation, lead paint, weeks of detail stripping and chemical burns, sanding, priming, painting, getting paint off the old hinges.
All done this weekend - phew, been a long project, but looking good.
Except….
The bottom of the door just below the hinge is now rubbing the frame when I close the door. It’s only a slight mm or so as it finally closes, but it’s going to annoy me…
Assuming the primer, two layers of undercoat, and three top costs of Weathershield has added a few mm to the door.
What’s the best option?
Shim the bottom hinge slightly to push the bottom of the door out?
Any thoughts on a quick fix, got locksmith coming and I want to sort before the new locks go on…..
Thanks
Gotta love DIY weekends
