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

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.

Had the front door to beach cottage changed. The door had un-even gaps (closer to frame on right side but large gaps on top left and left side). The door would not shut without engaging the deadbolt by force. The installer said that it was normal after over $500 install charge. Placing two of this shims by loosening hinges on right bottom and one in middle hinge fixed the issue

They worked for me. Standard 4-screw hinge. No issues with plastic bumps or tabs sticking out, no issues with the slots not lining up. I wouldnt mind being able to buy a few less in a package but that is a small nit.

It did the job! My heavy, solid wood front door was leaning some, causing it to stick pretty tightly above the door handle. I did not want to remove the whole door to fix it because its sooo heavy. There were big gaps on the lower part below the door handle and the upper edge hinge side. I used three layers on the lowest hinge, one shim in the middle hinge. I did have to trim with scissors the plastic to fit the shape of my hinges. Easy peasy. It took about a half hour to adjust and readjust to get it just right to realign my door correctly.

Was planning on hiring someone to rehang exterior doors. Stumbled across these and figured it was worth a try. Very easy to install and did the trick

worked great for fixing front door gap.

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!

I have been making my own shims to align my doors. I didnt realize someone made them. They work great and saves me time.

easy to install. fixed the problem.

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