I want to adjust the lower hinge outward just a tad for when the door is currently closed, it's outer surface is more inward as compared to the outer surface of the pillar.

Not sure how one goes about bending the hinge? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,839 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,839 | I already thought of simply enlarging the hinge body holes horizontally but was hoping I was just overlooking a simpler method. I also can't imagine tweaking the hinges.
Thanks. Later this week I might address this.

I enlarged the holes horizontally....can't imagine bending those hinges w any chance for success. Good luck.
