y'all,
just tried to install a new pre-hung door in the wall between the garage
and kitchen. it is a new stanley. after levelling and gnailing, etc.
there's a *huge* gap at the top of the striker jamb. about a half-inch,
from the top corner running across the the top of the door. it seems like
the top hinge plate needs to be screwed in more, moving the door in
relation to the frame. in essence, it looks like the door is sagging.
fwiw, all jambs are level/square and I followed the instructions
word-for-word. this is the fourth one of these I've done and the others
all turned out just fine doing it the exact same way.
on the advice of someone whose advice I should know better than to
solicit, I pried against the top of the frame with a crowbar, trying to
close the gap. no dice.
so now I'm doing what I should have done first--asking y'all. how do I
fix a (new) sagging door?
thanks.
scott
