First, figure out where the door is sticking -- top, bottom, or latch side. Look carefully at the door and there should be ways to adjust the clearance for each.

If it is a metal frame storm door, you can remove a screw or more in the area that binds and move the frame back and re-screw it in a new place.

Storms/screens - old - some screens missing

on May 22, 2000

We bought this house over the winter, and are just putting the screens on. We're finding that we're missing 2 screens - all are original wood windows (50 years old)and in relatively good shape otherwise. Any ideas on getting new screens to fit old windows? New windows are not an option. W Thanks for any ideas.....Read More

Moving door opening and header?

on May 22, 2000

I'm an advanced DIY'er, and need to shift an interior door opening (bathroom) about 8 inches to accomodate a new bathtub/alcove installation. My question is how to shift the header and jack studs to the new location; this is a load bearing wall. I'm thinking that as long as the top plate is supported (2x4's on a slight angle, nailed to support bases which in turn are nailed into the slab would hold it up while I remove and re-build the header in it's new location. How do the pro's do this? It's not a long span, only about 5 feet. Hmmm..... Thanks...RobRead More
