Hi all,
I hope you can help. First time posting on here. I've recently moved into a property with a Solidor barn-type door. I'm having a bit of trouble where the bottom section of the door catches the jamb (see pics).
The door hang itself is perfectly plumb both for the top and bottom sections, although the bottom section juts out about 4 mm further than the top section towards the catches.
I think the issue is the jamb has been fitted poorly and is a bit wonky. The bottom half tapers away from the door quite considerably. I suspect this is why the bottom door has been fitted further out. However, as a consequence the top corner of the bottom door snags on the jamb and I'm concerned about damage. I understand the door was only fitted in January, but the previous owner left no copies of guarantees or installer details so I'm pretty much on my own to take up the task of correcting it.
Hopefully I won't have to mess too much with the hinges, but if I can sort out the jamb, I wonder if it would be possible to slide the bottom door segment back those 4 mm to line up with the top section?
Anyway, that's enough detail for now. Hope this makes sense
Cheers

door itself hung plumb. Bottom section juts out towards stays by about 4mm more than top.
