Question:

How to resquare a metal door and frame?

I have a metal security door and frame that has come out of square. The top of the door is rubbing against the top of the frame, and it is very difficult to push close.If this was a wood door, Id probably shave it. Ive never dealt with this in a metal door. Whats the best way to fix it?Thank you!

Answer:

Go to door manufacturer
It is probably a matter of adjusting the hinges on the door... or secondly ...ring a door manufacturer and ask them what they would do... All the best Robyn
This is not a big problem, but you don't have many tools to fix it. So you call to the door manufacturer. If you don't have time, then check online.
The door has been sprung out of shape. First make sure all of the door hinge screws are tight. Try the door. There are corner brackets holding the frame together. Look for screws and tighten at all 4 corners. With a tape measure, check diagonally from corner to corner. The measurement should be equal. Press on door to spring into shape and correct measurements.
