It could be due to the fact that the door wasn\u2019t installed properly to begin with. It is also possible that the door may have warped over time or that the house has settled causing the door to rack. Finally, it could be simply due to the fact that the door is frequently used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Tools Required<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Screw Driver or Screw Gun<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Chisel<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Drill<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Jig Saw<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Loosened Door Hinges<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The first and easiest area to check are the door hinges.

If you observe that the lock tongue is not engaging into the strike plate hole, you have a misalignment problem. To fix this problem, the best solution is to adjust the strike plate. You can either adjust it up or down, or inward or outward. To do this you will again probably need to employ the use of a chisel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Another alternative to adjusting the strike plate location, is to increase the size of the strike plate hole. After removing the strike plate from the door jamb, use either a file or a jig saw to increase the size of the strike plate opening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Door hitting Doorstop<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Typically centered inside the doorjamb is a strip of wood that is known as the doorstop. The doorstop runs up both sides of the door jamb, as well as on top of the doorjamb. Sometimes the doorstop is positioned improperly or moves slightly due to settling or warping. This may cause the door to not latch closed, due to the fact that the door is hitting the doorstop before it can latch closed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">To resolve this type of problem use a block of wood and hammer to adjust the doorstop position such that the door closes and latches properly. Note, if the door jamb and doorstop are painted, you will want to first use a carpenter\u2019s knife and score the seam where the doorstop meets the doorjamb. This will prevent unwanted paint cracking when adjusting the position of the doorstop.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">For information on how to install interior door trim<\/span><\/strong>, see the &#8220;<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/ebooks\/installing-interior-door-trim-ebook\/\">Installing Interior Door Trim<\/a><\/strong><\/span>&#8221; eBook from HomeAdditionPlus.com.\u00a0 The &#8220;Installing Interior Door Trim&#8221; eBook provides step-by-step instructions on how to install interior door trim.
