help needed!! ledged and braced battened door
hi there, just came across this forum and think it is great. i have a query that i hope someone can give me advice on. i have an alleyway/entry at the side of the house that i closed in with ledged and braced battened door, and when i close it, the top corner of the closing side sits out from the frame, whilst the bottom of the door closes flush. is it possible that there could be a twist in the door, and if so, how has this happened ( i also made the door myself from t+g matchboard so maybe the twist was put in by myself unknowingly) or is the frame not fitted properly. i understand from advice of a joiner friend that you are supposed to line the two sides of the door frame up, but because of the entry being attaced to the house i was unable to do this as the house wall was in the way. if it is the frame, how do you line it up when in this situation. i can rectify the problem by fitting a sliding bar at the top where it sits out, so that it pulls the door tight with frame, but i would like to know where i went wrong!! cheers
