Hello all,
The upper portion of our 2010 Sunybrook entry door has been hitting the frame when you try to close it for some time. If you lift the door up it wont hit in the upper left corner. I know the hings pins are a but worn but not terribly. I did notice however, that the aluminum framing around the door looks to be pulling awar from the skin thus its pulling outward from the hinge. In the picture, the frame I am pointing to, is some of the culprit. That is where the hinge attaches however, that frame is pulling away from the door. After reading and reading, most say the door is made up of a shaved down 2x2 or so piece of wood and likely rotted out or is shotty from the factory. I pulled my door off and lifted the frame slightly as it doesnt seem to want to come off all the way around. Much to my surprise, there is NO wood. It is 100% foam. Per the pics, the screws from the hinge go into the aluminum band and then thats it. They hold dont grab anything after that. It looks as though it was just glued and the glue has let loose.
So, my question is, do I just try to spread some new liquid nails in there, clamp it, and see if it holds? I thought about taking some small white screws and running them through where the aluminum lips onto the plastic skin for some extra support.
Thoughts? Thank you for any help.
