Can someone tell me the steps involved in re-plumbing a front door with 2 glass side lights on either side of the door. The top of the door it hitting the top of the latch side of the frame, and there is probably a 1/4" gap at the bottom of the door between the door and the latch side.
I just don't know how to adjust the plumb since there are the glass side lights on both sides (hinge and latch side) of the door.
Thanks,
Dave

You might try shimming behind the upper hinge. Remove the hinge from the jamb and place a thin piece of wood or even heavy-duty cardboard in the mortise, then replace the hinge. I would think that would push the top of the door down a bit and the bottom up a bit.
It's at the least a simple test that doesn't require drastic measures.
