But, as with all door systems, they have to be maintained properly to function properly. You can accomplish this by cleaning and lubricating the mechanisms including your lock so that they run smoothly. This will prevent problems that could cause them to fall or become out of alignment. How to Fix a Leaning door It is possible for your door to sag, causing gaps between the frame and the door. These gaps can let drafts enter or hinder the latch from aligning with the strike rail. In many instances, a door which is leaning can be fixed without removing the hinges. These simple and quick steps can save you time, effort and even money. Use an screwdriver to tighten the hinge screws, instead of drilling. Don't overtighten them as it could strip out the holes. Next, tighten the screws that connect the top hinge to the door jambs and the door. You can also lengthen the length of these screws. Sometimes, hinges that are older lose their grip on hinge pins, making them loose. Sometimes, tapping the three knuckles with the hammer with a piece of scrap wood could loosen them up enough to allow you pull the hinge pins off and slide them off. This will release the hinge that is stuck, but not the door's sagging. To stop sagging of the door, you could use a hinge shim to extend it beyond the jamb. These are available at hardware stores, or you can create them yourself. Simply trace the outline of your door hinge on a piece of cardboard and cut the outline to use as a the shim. Try a few different ones to determine how far you'll need to extend the hinge from the barrel. Then, put the shim into the hinge mortise on the door jamb. If this doesn't fix the sagging, you might have to adjust the sill anchors and the hinge jamb, and the door frame
