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

Fixed my door from being unable to lock easily. Great product

I had a door which never would close right. It was sticking at the top. I tried to sand it to no avail. I put these shims behind the top two hinges and the edge of the door and now it swings as it should and fits well.

I got same model number shown but holes in picture are slightly different and I had to cut to make room for one screw but simple enough. I know many people just use cardboard or something but that will break down over time and result in possible damage due to leaving the hinge loose when it does. These are plastic and wont just dissolve due to weather etc. Only thing I wish is they made a variety pack. The 4 ones generally work for exterior doors while inside is generally 3.5. I have a lot of spares now as only need like 2 of each lol. Good thing they are cheap!

You can make your own shims, or just loosen the hinge, slide one of these in, tighten screws. 5 minutes tops, and my door shuts properly again. Worth every penny!

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

beats using playing cards

Due to some settling my exterior door was no longer plumb and difficult to lock. I used one of these to bump out the bottom hinge a bit and it now closes and locks perfectly.

This product works well. I used it on a lower hinge which moved the door up enough for the latch to engage properly. Easy fix. My door hinge was 3.5 (not 4) so I had to cut the shim to fit. It did the job, though. I found out later that they do make a 3.5 shim.

This shim is very easy to use. The jamb hinge screws only need to be loosened, and the shim slipped in place. Each shim is pre-cut to accommodate the screw pattern of the hinge.

I easily in no time shimmed up my back door. The directions could be better but you snap the shim in half to slide it into position. Then tighten the hinges back up. No more lifting the door knob to get the deadbolt to lock for us. Easy and worth the money just to end the frustration of an ill fitting door.
