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

I bought a new house and very soon the front door starting sticking and would not stay shut unless it was locked. It had been installed by what is laughingly called professionals. I placed two shims behind the bottom hinge, one behind the next hinge up and none behind the top two hinges. Now the door opens easily and latches easily. Too bad the professionals dont know how to hang doors, but luckily the shims are available to home owners so we can fix the shoddy workmenship.

Product is easy to use, and quick to install!

It did the job.

My front door latch assembly wasnt locking into the strike plate. It was just a tad too low. If I lifted on the doorknob, it would lock in place. The deadbolt was also not lining up unless I lifted the door knob. I first tried cardboard shims that I made, but that would only last for a week or two. I found these on Amazon, although I first ordered the wrong size. Front door hinge is 4 inches and I ordered the 3.5 inch. Not worth returning and I may need them someday. This morning I removed the cardboard from the bottom hinge, started the screws back into the hinge, folded one of these shims in half, removed the third part, and tightened the screws. Door closes and latches perfectly. I should have bought these 3 years ago.

worked great for fixing front door gap.

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.

Was planning on hiring someone to rehang exterior doors. Stumbled across these and figured it was worth a try. Very easy to install and did the trick

Very good product, easy to install.

My door was out of alignment causing the deadbolt to miss the hole unless we lifted on the doorknob while turning the bolt. I tried shimming the bottom hinge but it did not eliminate the problem. Plugging and redrilling holes for the hinge plate screws and using 3 screws, especially in securing the upper hinge to the frame, ended up doing the trick. If, though, you have a gap between the door and the frame on the knob side, these shims are the perfect solution.

I fixed a wonky billion years old door in minutes. They can also be stacked for extra wide gaps. I used 2 on the center hinge and worked beautifully.
