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

To adjust how a door sits in the frame during initial installation is easy -- just shim the frame. But after the trim has been on for a few years, the house shifts a little or the door shrinks a little, and it needs to be adjusted again. Removing and replacing the trim is a PITA. These accomplish that adjustment without having to take off the trim.

These are very useful around the house. Adjusted four doors with these including one with 3 1/2 hinges with a little cutting. The before and after using these makes these doors operate like a very skilled doorman would have installed doors when new. Easy to install.

I used them to level my door on an outbuilding.

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.

Still didn’t fix my door issues. Finally hired a professional and they took these out and just hammered in wooden shims to fix it.

Im afraid these didnt do the job for me. They seem to be a bit too flimsy and crushed under the weight of the door rather than moving it outward like I had wanted. We ended up replacing the whole door and frame, so I never tried them again after than. Might work for a small gap, but mine was too large for these to fix it.

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!

Worked like a charm on my front steel door. The house is settling so lower hinges had to be shimmed rather than resetting the striker plate.

This help with the gap we have on our front door.
