Onoff Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Going to sound like I'm super tight but rather than replace a pair of worn rising butts, can you simply add a couple of washers over the hinge shafts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the crappy bog door catch in the upstairs ensuite won't slide into its hole. It's either the hinges worn a fraction or the timber frame of the dormer shifted! 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually they need an edge cut off though, if the spindle is close the the frame. This is the easiest solution if the door is catching the floor.
