[DIY] Re: A different door problem/ hung wrong

 

So, looks/ sounds like you have a 1-3/4" thick door hung on a jamb not setup for that door size, judging by the location of the stop on the jamb, and hinge screw locations. 

•  If the stops can be removed and relocated to the proper location to work with a 1-3/4 thick door, you can then relocate the hinges to the proper location on the jamb face (instead of the screws going into the facing board edge, and between the facing and jamb). 
•  If stops can be removed, first move hinges to proper location, then hang door and close and THEN determine proper stop location so that stops not too close/ nor too far (too close can jam/ splinter/ rub)
• Removing stops will probably require scoring varnish with a utility knife; (SOME jambs have the stops made onto them as one piece of wood
• Hope this helps; try looking at a door that is properly hung for comparison
