Hi all,
This is my first post.....what a great site!
I've recently fitted a new solid pine internal door to an existing frame. The door was planed on all edges, to give a 2mm gap between the frame and the door (6mm at the bottom).
I've now hung the door, and when closed there's a clear gap on all side (plus top and bottom). However, when closing the door, there's resistance and if not fully closed, it "bounces" open by about 6".
Whilst the hinges are screwed in tight, i've noticed that they move slightly (the spine/butt moves away from the frame by 1mm or 2mm) when the door is fully closed.
I think that the screw heads may be causing this.....is this a common problem? The hinges are from Wickes and came with there own screws.....could it be that the screw heads are too big for the hinges?
Any ideas gratefully received.
