Hey All
My front door is sagging down and won't close. I'm nervous about reinstalling the door as there's such little clearance in the walls. Has anyone solved this problem? |

Hey, Turbo, there are a lot of Rpods on the market. Which year and model to do you have?

Hi Turbo. Sorry to hear about your door. First make sure the friction hinge is properly lubed. Folks use all kinds of lubes but it wouldn't hurt to just give it a shot of WD-40 first. Even though it is a friction hinge, it does have to move somewhat freely. If the hinge is too stiff, the light weight door frame will twist and it will appear your door may be sagging or twisted. Also, make sure the door latch and lock box screws are nice and tight. They do tend to loosen up frequently. I'd start there first.
Good luck.

Hopefully you don't have to much pressure on the stabiler jacks? Lifting up both ends, curling it like a potato chip.
