      Doors change slowly over time, so it's not surprising this trick is still applicable. Probably still works on pre-hung doors as well. Thanks for your feedback.

    Just came here from Reddit. :) Years ago, I saw a video similar to yours with this fix. I've been meaning to do this to the sticky linen closet door for years. Of course, I only remember when I about to get into the shower and grab a new towel. After watching this, I immediately grabbed some tools and now, 5 minutes later, I'm back at my computer and that freakin' door is no longer binding on the jamb. Informative, to the point, and very well done.
    15 years later, and you're still helping people! Thank you sir!

      Yes, thanks for this trick! All my doors seem to be okay, but that's the thinking process that I missed before. I would have chiseled out the hinge attachment and rescrewed the hinge back. Even though that bending the hinge a little is what was required. And I think it's not the only place where such thinking can be applied! Thanks once again.

    This technique worked great. I used an additional trick to determine that exact amount I need to bend the hinge.
    Before bending, slide some cardboard or a wedge from the side or bottom to line up the top and bottom of the door evenly with the frame. Now the hinge holes will be out of alignment. Simply bend the door hinge until they are aligned.

I was getting ready to help my son do that at their recently purchased first home, on two fiberglass entry doors with about an 1/8 inch strip of something around them that appeared to be planeable (if that’s a word). I had only ever planed wood doors. It was a worrisome prospect. Yesterday, I searched UA-cam for “planing sticking doors” and your video came up. We followed your directions and it fixed both doors! No removing, no planing! Awesome! I went to your website and bought your book for him! Thanks again, Don Stewart

      +skeleman1963 That video is nearly a decade old, yet you're the first to notice that. Funny, I just noticed it the other day. If you check out my Door Trix book, you'll find that bending a hinge pin thus provides a way to slow down a "ghosting" door, thatis a door that closes on its own. Not always a sure fire cure. But I believe that particular door, which I rigged in order to make the video, was always swinging shut. I bent the pin and it helped a bit. Thanks for the comment.

Given I'll soon be a year away from 80, a 1950's house is not so old. In fact had your house been 100, the trick may not have worked for you because the hinges were much thicker.
