when i opened my door the other night the wind caught it and blew it open quite hard. the door went further than it should have done. Now the door doesn't close properly meaning i have difficultly locking it. Its like it has dropped on its hinges. the door can close but i have to push it up whilst doing it. I have had a look but everything seems ok to me. the pillar and hinges look straight.

Anyone have any ideas? its the last thing i need at the minute.

Slacken off the two bolts that go through the hinges. Open and shut the door a couple of times, see if its better then re-tighten if so. Tends to sort it most times when that happens to a car.

Quite heavy doors on small hinges. Its never going to go down well. closely inspect the other side and check for differences. They may be slightly bent. Even the pins could be.
