Barrel hinge adjustment

chin nuts · 2017-05-18 10:30:50

Can anyone help with a barrel hinge adjustment on a front door. Door is sticking at the bottom. It's a solid wood door with 3 hinges but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to adjust the hinge??

Can you lift the door off the hinges and stick steel washers on each hinge to give you another couple of mm

Steel washers will rust. Get stainless steel or brass washers. If your local DIY does not have try a chandlers
