E-Z Shim 4 EZ HS400BP Hinge Shim (15 Pack), 15 Count

saved replacing an exterior double door!

They do the job, could be better, and there just plastic. If you have time to wait for metal ones with the supply chain issues I would, if not these will still cure your immediate problem.

For years I used cardboard for shims with mixed results over time (cardboard compresses over time). I bought these shims when my front door once again wouldnt lock. The dead bolt was hitting below the bore in the door frame. I removed the card board shims and replaced them with two of the EZ-SHIMS. The door locks normally again. I dont see the EZ -Shims compressing like the cardboard does. The only minor issue (really a non-issue for me), is that you will probably have to trim them as they are not the correct shape for most newer hinges. In order to fit the EZ-Shims in the hinge mortise for hinges with rounded corners, two corners need to be trimmed. That is easily done with a pair of scissors.

Bought this to align my hinges and fix a sagging door (after I replaced the hinges). Shims snap off from the pack. Loosen your hinge screws maybe half way and slide the shim in. You do not need to remove the screws. If I had a suggestion, I wish that some of them were in half thickness but the ones they sent worked for me.

Needed to level out our front door so it didn’t hit the jamb on the bottom when being closed.

I live in an old farmhouse and had a door that needed to be shimmed. These things worked perfectly. Id been trying to fix it for quite some time... wish I had found these awhile back.

These put my outside door back into square.

Had local glass company replace several door and window glass panes. One door had integral molded polywhatever quarter-round stop instead of removable. So glass tech had to saw stop off; during this process he steadied himself by hanging on the door. Tech was pretty large guy, so next day the door latch wasnt working very well, then not at all. These magic scraps of plastic were easy to install and realigned the door at minimum cost and hassle.

These installed just fine. We will see how well they hold up over time. They did the job and fixed my issue, along with new longer screws. These are really easy to install but are not for people who don’t have at least some experience.

Things are always shifting and this was such a life saver! I couldnt find anything in store that would fit my needs. I found this and was so happy i did!! Easy for single person instalation! Thankfully I didnt have to take the door all the way off or fight with other shims. I will be buying more for my other doors!
