Hi. Lay the door flat on 3 equal blocks ( house bricks will do )with the corner needing to go down with out one. Next place a heavy weight on the opposite corner needing to go down ( a concrete slab ) and then a weight on the corner needing to go down that is lighter than the slab but heavy enough to allow it to go down.Leave for 24 hours. Measure the distance to the floor before and after to check the progress. Good luck!.

Hi Handy Man,

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your expertise. We appreciate it.

Youhave to level your frame first of all...then mount your hinge brackets in both the door and frame precisely enough so as not to allow any loss of the "plumbess" of the hung door in relation the the frame. If the top hinge has a little bit more room the door will slip away and go to the full open.

Sounds like a job for a door stop to me (but someone else might have a better idea).

I'd have a different but related problem. Some of the wooden interior doors in my house do not stay in position of they're ajar. For example, if I want to leave one door slightly ajar, it will always swing into the fully open position. I'd like the door to rest where I leave it. Any ideas?

That's a really good question that I can't find an answer to (beyond what we say above). This might be a case where you need to consult a professional for advice.

My sixteen foot panel roll up garage door has bowed. This is a result of the center of the door being held down by the operator and the two outer edges being pulled up by the cables. Please tell me how to take the smile out of this door
