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

Love these. Found out my door installer had use plain cardboard to shim a door, and it was sagging out of true. These were super easy to install, fit exactly, and the door now closes better than ever!

My door was out of alignment causing the deadbolt to miss the hole unless we lifted on the doorknob while turning the bolt. I tried shimming the bottom hinge but it did not eliminate the problem. Plugging and redrilling holes for the hinge plate screws and using 3 screws, especially in securing the upper hinge to the frame, ended up doing the trick. If, though, you have a gap between the door and the frame on the knob side, these shims are the perfect solution.

I just used these on one side of my French Doors on a house I bought. The gap between the doors now is so close it made my lock function much better and the doors are now more secure. The (new) weatherstripping works better also... well the one between the doors does. Between the door and the wall now there is a gap because the weatherstripping there is painted over and brittle. Once I replace that I will have a perfect seal thanks to these hinges. Saved me from replacing the whole astragal. I didnt realize 5 sheets of shims came in a pack, so I bought too many. Still the results are so good and fast that they are worthy of 5 stars.

Still didn’t fix my door issues. Finally hired a professional and they took these out and just hammered in wooden shims to fix it.

I bought a new house and very soon the front door starting sticking and would not stay shut unless it was locked. It had been installed by what is laughingly called professionals. I placed two shims behind the bottom hinge, one behind the next hinge up and none behind the top two hinges. Now the door opens easily and latches easily. Too bad the professionals dont know how to hang doors, but luckily the shims are available to home owners so we can fix the shoddy workmenship.

I didnt notice at first but the package was open and most of the product was remove. 10 of the 15 count was missing. The product works as advertised. I will use the remaining 5, just thought I should report the opened product.

Too foamy

These are easy to use for hinge shims, no need to revive the hints, just loosen then one at a time and side in the shim. This is an easy solution to adjusting the alignment of a door on the frame.

These worked to shim my back door and fix the sag. Its a lot harder to do than it looks as you need to fully remove all the screws to get the shim past the end of the hinge. Assistance is needed, they dont tell you that. But.. it works.

To adjust how a door sits in the frame during initial installation is easy -- just shim the frame. But after the trim has been on for a few years, the house shifts a little or the door shrinks a little, and it needs to be adjusted again. Removing and replacing the trim is a PITA. These accomplish that adjustment without having to take off the trim.
