E-Z Shim 4 EZ HS400BP Hinge Shim (15 Pack), 15 Count

Used this shim to help get exterior back door on my 22 year old home to close and lock again. Door frame suffered from foundation settling. Fit was perfect for the hinge and shim was easy to install in top door hinge. Had to adjust strike plate on the door also, but the shim helped solve part of the issue. Would recommend this product.

Due to some settling my exterior door was no longer plumb and difficult to lock. I used one of these to bump out the bottom hinge a bit and it now closes and locks perfectly.

Product is easy to use, and quick to install!

So, mortising is a fine art that seemingly is lost. I keep some of these in my work truck at all times. We primarily do new construction and I’ve had several jobs where factory supplied doors had a door hinge mortise entirely too deep. These little things are a lifesaver! If you set and case doors, you should have some.

These shims served their purpose. They were not the easiest to install and were difficult to get positioned. Once installed they did what they were supposed to do, which was to equal out the gap on each side between the door and the doorjamb.

This shim is very easy to use. The jamb hinge screws only need to be loosened, and the shim slipped in place. Each shim is pre-cut to accommodate the screw pattern of the hinge.

If you have no time to lose on a door adjustment, then this is the …..

I had a door that was sagging slightly. I checked the screws and they were tight. I considered using the trick of bending the hinges, but this is an outdoor door with thick 4 hinges. I came across the E-Z Shims while looking for solutions and decided to give them a try. They arrived quickly. I just loosened the screws to the bottom and middle hinge. I started with the bottom hinge and added 3 shims, or 3/16. I then added two shims in the middle hinge. They slid right in place. I then tightened the screws and there was no more sag and the door shut properly! It took all of 20 minutes and a very small investment to solve my problem!

Great product. I bought these to level out the shotty work the home builders did when installing some of the doors in the house. Easy to install and adds just enough to not be noticable.

Loosen hinge screws, trim shim at scribes, instal. PERFECT
