Main door crooked

Update: while the hinges and door frame is riveted to the wall and screen, the door hinge attaches to the door with screws. The top screws in the top hinge were loose enough to create a gap between the hinge and the door. I tightened the screws and it seemed to resolve the problem.

Original :Our main door has slowly been harder to close. The door is hitting the upper left corner of the frame/eyebrow.

We have to constantly slam the door.

I don't see any obvious adjustment.

We are at the rally in Goshen now if anyone is bored.

It’s long but here’s a post that might be helpful.

Your’s might be a different problem but I found that many of our hinge screws were stripped and the door was leaning towards the latch side doing what you described. I added larger diameter screws (#10) to pull the hinges in tight. Note that same size but longer screws will not help. Then added Irollmans all-thread fix to help it be permanent. Once fixed, we keep the hinges and door latch/lock lubed with graphite lock lube. No problems since the fix and still working well.

Well thanks for the update and enjoy the rally! Wish I was there.
