The doors will start to sag and become more difficult to open or close. However, adjusting the hinges back to their original positions can solve the issue and bring back the door's smooth operation.

The first step in adjusting a sagging or misaligned door is to determine the area where the rubbing is taking place. The next step is based on the location of the rubbing. You will need to adjust the hinges in the event that the door is rubbing against the floor. If the door is stuck on the jamb or frame then you'll have to move it out or in.

To calculate the force needed to support the weight of the hinge, you must know the weight of the door as well as the distance between the hinge and the place where the weight is applied. Be sure to use consistent units for both values, as different angles require different amounts of torque.

Once you've established the force required, you can calculate the hinges capacity to load using the formula: torque = force multiplied with distance. In general, hinges of higher quality will feature higher load capacities than those of lower quality. This is due to the quality of the materials and design will affect the strength and durability of the hinges. It is therefore important to select the appropriate hinges that are suitable for your requirements.
