Door falling off
-
- Inspect hinges for loose screws or misalignment and tighten screws or reposition hinges.
- Use plastic screw hole inserts to re-use old holes which have become stripped.
- Check for level and plumb door frame for settling. Shim or re-secure frame if out of alignment.
- Verify door size/thickness matches frame openings. Plane or sand door edges if required.
- Clean out dirty hinge mortises and fill gaps with wood shims to reduce play and sagging.
- Replace worn out or undersized hinges that allow the door to sag and lose structure.
- Adjust any misaligned strikes plates causing interference between door and frame.
- Check for swelling if door rubs frame at certain points – humidity or water exposure causes swelling.
- Sand or plane any high spots or warped sections on door that prevent even contact.
- Reset popping out nails or screws on door that leads to detachment and unevenness.
- Install additional support alongside frame like wall-mounted door braces for extra strength.
