Default DOORS

Well I got my weatherstripping on now doors have to realign. Any easy way to do this? All the little tricks of the trade are welcome.

Jim -

Ideally, you want to fit the doors before installing the weatherstrips (that's the way they're built initially), so any door fit adjustments can be made without fighting the forces exerted by compressed weatherstrips. All your door adjustments are at the hinge-to-door attachments (slip-fit for up/down and fore-aft, shims for in/out).
