Try Screws.....

In reply to New Steel Door w/ frame installation. Slight problem. by mrgto1 on August 28th, 2004 09:20 PM [Go to top of thread]

Install longer screws at the top hinge. Say 3 inch screws that go all the way into the studing around the door. Tighting these screws will tend to pull the door up. It may be enough to line up the latch. Placing shims behind the bottom hinge may also help.
Good Luck!
