I'm Ryan Parker with Parker Home Renovations in New Braunfels, Texas, and today I'm going
to teach you how to fix a binding door. There's several ways a door can be binding actually.
It could be because your hinge has come loose from the door jamb. And the way you'd want
to fix that is you'd want a three inch screw and a screw gun, and where the door's binding,
if it's binding at the top right corner, it's probably your top hinge. So you'll want to
take out the middle screw on that hinge and you'll want to drive the three inch screw
into that place where that, where you pulled that screw out, the middle hole in the top
hinge. Drive it in and suck it up real good against the door jamb, and that should pull
your door back straight, and it should not bind anymore in the top, right corner. Now
if it is binding on the strike plate, what you can do is you can actually take your screw
gun and you can take the strike plate off. Then you can get a chisel and a hammer and
you can actually mortise out where that strike plate goes a little bit better until the strike
plate sits better in the door jamb. And then you can screw it back into place and that
should fix your binding door on the strike plate. If you have any other questions, you
