Tricks to getting door aligned
Got the door hung and I'm trying to get them set right. This is what I came up with. I mounted the dovetail and I have the door closed, with the help of a friend or two. holding the door closed, I'll lossen the bolts a little and slide/wiggle/shove/cuss and tap the door in place (I hope) .
How did you guys get it done? Jake

Re: Tricks to getting door aligned
I like to put a hydraulic floor jack with a 2x4 on it under the back/bottom end of the door (door slightly open/balanced on the jack) with the door hinges bolted mostly snug, then fine-tune adjust using the jack - saves some grunting and cussing. The paint stick trick is great for checking consistent gaps all around.

Re: Tricks to getting door aligned
I'll try the paint sticks as I'd not like to smash the fingers. Thanks
