1. Getting Your Door to Close by Tightening hinges.

Check to check whether the top corner of your door is catching on the frame. The hinges on a door can loosen over time, causing the door to sag downward. When this happens, the door's top corner catches on the door frame, preventing it from closing correctly. You'll need to adjust the hinges if the top corner of your door is catching on the frame.

l  Looking at the gap between the top of the door and the frame is another technique to identify if your door is dangling downward. The door isn't hanging properly if the gap widens as you walk away from the hinge.

2. Using a screwdriver, tighten the screws on the door hinges.

Tightening the door hinges may help by moving the door back toward the jamb (the hinged part of the frame) so it doesn't catch on the frame when you try to close it. Tighten the hinge screws as far as possible, then close the door to determine if the problem has been resolved.

3. If the problem persists, unscrew the middle screw on the top door hinge.

If tightening the hinges doesn't work, you'll need to replace the top door hinge's middle screw.

4. In the top door hinge, screw a 3 inch (7.6 cm) screw.

A longer screw will assist in pulling the door back near the jamb. Tighten the screw all the way to the point where the hinge is firmly attached to the jamb. After then, try shutting the door. The door should now be able to close smoothly.
