A residential door failing to close completely flush against its frame can stem from several mechanical, structural, or installation issues. Common reasons include loose or sagging hinge screws that cause the door to drop and bind against the bottom of the frame, structural home settling that warps the doorjamb, caked food grease preventing an oven door seal from compressing, or a misaligned strike plate. You can troubleshoot closing failures easily by inspecting alignment gaps. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when tightening hinge screws, adjusting leveling feet, or filing down a misaligned strike plate allows the door to swing fully shut and latch without resistance.
