My front door is scraping the aluminum frame door jam thing on the bottom. Also underneith the door itself it seems like there is a huge aluminum device covering the whole bottom of it and an aluminum weather stipper built into that. Is my only option to have the door pulled off. Or could I maybe grind of file down the aluminum on the bottom?
roger has best answer so far ...when any door starts to rub on bottom you should check the frame is still well fixed ..then the hinges ...the top one may be loose ..a lot of these doors have adjusters on the hinges ..however if the frame is ok ..the top hinges are tight ..and no adjusters ..pack out the bottom hinge ..by removing screws to bottom hinge ..adding a packer ...it can be cardboard ..you will be lifting door off the threshold ..might need two packers ..
You okorder / Best to do the right way, once you shave the bottom of the door there is no undo Hope it helps Lr
Check your hinges first. typically your upper hinge has become loose or bent. If it is bent you could use wood 2X4 as lever under bottom corner and pry it back into position.
