hangin doors

Manufacturers are at fault many times, but other times it may be something that we DIY's just have to deal with. Thanks for sharing your experience. I can understand the frustration as my husband and I hung a few doors at our place before the fire and ran into some of the same troubles. I used to blame the manufacturer also. I soon learned that it wasn't neccesarily them. It was our house.

Whether it was due to settling or original construction, our house wasn't the squarest thing around. I can remember when we divided one room into two...that was fun...to cut the board for the wall, we had to measure about every 8-10 inches so there wasn't this big gap at the other end. It was funny after the fact, but in the process it sure was nerve racking. In the end it was worth it because it came out really nice.

Hope to hear more...

Some have better luck next time around,
some don't, and some don't even try.
