More often than not when hanging doors they won't initially open and close perfectly and the margins are uneven you want an even gap between the door and frame all the way around. More often than not this is because the screws normally in the top hinge but sometimes all of them have worked their way loose with the constant weight of the door opening and closing over the years. To adjust a door in this instance, I either use better, longer wood screws and try to fix deeper through the frame into the timber stud behind that the frame is fixed to.
Each time you close it, the door unlatches itself and opens, as if a ghost is pushing on it. The worst is when it happens hours later, in the middle of the night creepy! It can also happen when someone pushes slightly from the other side such as a little one or a pet….

Before trying any fancy repairs, start by making sure the hinges are tight. If the hinges are loose, the door will sag. If the screws are stripped out, continue reading.
After installing pre-hung interior French doors and making sure the frame is plumb and level, I find that one of the doors hangs a little too far from the jamb at the top hinge. The gap between the door and jamb is wider at the top hinge than it is at the bottom hinge, and consequently when I close the doors, the top edges touch before the doors are fully closed. Can this be corrected by setting the top two hinges deeper in the jamb? I know I could just plane the edge where the doors meet, but I'd rather not do that if there is a better way.

Double French doors are vulnerable to building or ground movement that can shift the doors out of alignment. French doors occasionally are in need of alignment soon after installation because their weight causes them to settle. Regardless of the cause, fixing uneven French doors is not difficult for a do-it-yourself enthusiast.
