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

Still didn’t fix my door issues. Finally hired a professional and they took these out and just hammered in wooden shims to fix it.

Really makes it easy to make sure a door is plumb

Fixed my door from being unable to lock easily. Great product

The shims worked well to align a heavy metal-clad front door that was sagging. The deadbolt was striking the plate instead of going into the bore, and the whole door had to be muscled up in order to lock it. One issue that I had to work around was that a single shim was not enough to align the door, and with two shims the door would not close. The instructions do not have any mention of this, however if two shims are arranged fully overlapped facing each other with ribbed side being in contact, and the corners of the one that is facing outward are trimmed to fit the indentation in the door jamb, they adjust the door by ~3/32 that was just enough to do the trick in my case. Note that the shims that I received had a 3/4 depth cutouts for the bolts that can be seen in the multi-pack listing for this product.

Gave me a little room to get my door striker to go into the plate. Easy to install

Recommend.

These were great and easy to use. I recommend buying longer hinge screws too if you are going to install these.

I had a door that was sagging slightly. I checked the screws and they were tight. I considered using the trick of bending the hinges, but this is an outdoor door with thick 4 hinges. I came across the E-Z Shims while looking for solutions and decided to give them a try. They arrived quickly. I just loosened the screws to the bottom and middle hinge. I started with the bottom hinge and added 3 shims, or 3/16. I then added two shims in the middle hinge. They slid right in place. I then tightened the screws and there was no more sag and the door shut properly! It took all of 20 minutes and a very small investment to solve my problem!

beats using playing cards

These hinge shims are perfect for nudging your door over a little at a time. I had a slightly crooked exterior door with a gap at the bottom. Just loosened up the screws on my hinges and slid in a shim, tightened up and it did what it was supposed to. Good cheap fix. Recommended! Make sure you know the size and screw pattern of your hinges before buying. :)
