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

Didn’t help like I wanted

These shims worked well for me but it is first important to understand where to properly place door hinge shims. Depending on the problem you are trying to solve, in some cases a shim should be placed under either the barrel side of the hinge or under the opposite side. Also, hinge shims may need to be placed under all of the hinges or only need to be placed under one hinge. I also had to trim one of the shims (which was easily done) due to the shape of my hinges. The information that was included with the shims did not cover any of this but there is good information available on-line regarding door shimming.

Had local glass company replace several door and window glass panes. One door had integral molded polywhatever quarter-round stop instead of removable. So glass tech had to saw stop off; during this process he steadied himself by hanging on the door. Tech was pretty large guy, so next day the door latch wasnt working very well, then not at all. These magic scraps of plastic were easy to install and realigned the door at minimum cost and hassle.

It easily solved the problem of doot latch missing strike plate.

So, mortising is a fine art that seemingly is lost. I keep some of these in my work truck at all times. We primarily do new construction and I’ve had several jobs where factory supplied doors had a door hinge mortise entirely too deep. These little things are a lifesaver! If you set and case doors, you should have some.

The design of the product made it simple to insert the shim without removing the hinge.

worked great for fixing front door gap.

This product is a great idea. I showed it to my brother in law who is a carpenter. He was blown away with the simplicity of this and the low price. After installing behind the hinge you cant even see the shim. It was the perfect solution to align the inside front door so it would stay open. I only used one shim.

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.

Used this shim to help get exterior back door on my 22 year old home to close and lock again. Door frame suffered from foundation settling. Fit was perfect for the hinge and shim was easy to install in top door hinge. Had to adjust strike plate on the door also, but the shim helped solve part of the issue. Would recommend this product.
