Nothing I did to the hinge helped, plus the front edge was nice and flush. So I stuffed some rags between the door and the jamb at the height of the latch, then used a hydraulic ram at the lower rear edge of the door (where it curves in) to actually bend the door just enough to get good alignment. I was careful to spread the force of the ram by using a short piece of 2x4 and soft rags and was also careful to apply force only at the edge to keep from caving in the sheet metal. The ram was pushing against a 2x4 lying flat on the floor and braced against an adjacent wall. | | |
