EZ-Shim HS400BP 4" Hinge Shim (15 Pack)

The 4" EZ HS400BP Hinge Shims have been a game-changer in addressing the alignment issues with my door. This 15-pack of high-impact plastic shims is a must-have for anyone facing similar challenges with door installation or maintenance.First off, the ease of installation is remarkable. Unlike traditional methods that might require removing the entire door, these shims allowed me to adjust and align each hinge individually, saving time and effort. The fact that you can achieve a 1/16" adjustment with each shim provides a level of precision that makes a significant difference in how the door fits and operates.One of the major problems I faced was the door not sealing properly and failing to latch correctly. These shims worked perfectly to resolve both issues, ensuring a tight seal and proper latching every time the door is closed. The functionality and effectiveness of these shims in correcting such common but frustrating problems cannot be overstated.Aesthetically, the shims are discreet and practically invisible once installed. There's no noticeable bulge or mismatch that often comes with makeshift solutions. This subtlety is a huge plus, as it maintains the door’s original look without any obvious signs of adjustment.In summary, the EZ HS400BP Hinge Shims are a brilliant solution that I found to be both effective and user-friendly. They provided the precise alignment needed to fix the door's issues, with the added benefit of not being an eyesore. For anyone struggling with door alignment, latching problems, or needing to improve the seal on their door, these shims are definitely worth trying.

It took only a couple of minutes to address the gap in my door.

The shims worked well to align a heavy metal-clad front door that was sagging. The deadbolt was striking the plate instead of going into the bore, and the whole door had to be muscled up in order to lock it.One issue that I had to work around was that a single shim was not enough to align the door, and with two shims the door would not close. The instructions do not have any mention of this, however if two shims are arranged fully overlapped facing each other with ribbed side being in contact, and the corners of the one that is facing outward are trimmed to fit the indentation in the door jamb, they adjust the door by ~3/32" that was just enough to do the trick in my case. Note that the shims that I received had a 3/4 depth cutouts for the bolts that can be seen in the multi-pack listing for this product.

The installation of my doors was not horrible, but there was a noticeably wide gap in the center. I felt like I could feel a slight draft so I wanted to close the gap a bit. For $6, these were incredibly simple to install, and I needed only to LOOSEN all the screws on the door to slip the shims behind the hinges (make sure to push them all the way in). Then retighten the screws. My doors shut perfectly now and there is no hint of a draft.They are the perfect thickness to choose 1 or more behind hinges to get the results you need, are super simple to install, and the cost was not much at all. Be sure to measure the size of your hinges and order the color that's going to be least visible, but this was a great purchase. I should have done it a year ago.

Works well

the installation was easy. size of shim and hole locations were correct

Quick & Easy to use. Plenty in 1 pack (likely more than I’ll need/use.

Before ordering, I measured my hinges at four inches. I really didn't pay attention to the number of screw holes my hinges have because the descriptions states these shims are for 4" hinges. Looking more closely at the item photo, you'll see these are for hinges with four screw holes. Once I received these and began to install, I discovered that the hinges I needed to shim were three-hole 4" hinges. The shims themselves seem solid, but since the hole slots are cut into them, they are useless for three-hole 4" hinges.

Only needed one set of shims so now I'm looking for about 20 more doors to fix...
